The WI did well to get a score of over 300 runs but as we see its not really enough as India will easily take a 1st innings lead. Again like the WI innings Indian batsman are getting starts but not going on with it except for the current two batsman at the crease Rahane and Pant who look in fine form and can really give India a big lead if they can both continue on and make big centuries.

India got all out for 367 and as said the pitch is showing the spin and WI are now 54/4 down i think they will get all out for below 150 score If their is no good partnership, which means India can finish the match today or tomorrow in first session itself.

WI disappointed in their 2nd innings and they are all out for a score of just 127 runs. India now requires only 71 run to win this test match and win the test series of 3 match. Final 3rd match is still remaining. So will India win the match today or tomorrow is only need to be seen.

India won the match without losing even a single wicket. The openers came and completed the target very easily.

It's 2-match test series (not 3-match). It just concluded and now we'll see the face-off of both the teams again in the upcoming 5-match ODI series, which will begin in a week.

Thanks for correcting yes it is 2 match series and now 5 day ODI going to start. What a series it has being for the debutant Shaw who made century in first test match itself and played well as well in second test match. He was also the man of the series in his first series itself.

I agree with Shaw having a great series and this now sets him up ready for the Australian tour which starts in 2 months from now. India look to of found a pretty good opening batsman. He won't find it as easy when playing Australia but he does look like a good young batsman that has a lot of talent so I will be interested to see how well he bats against Australia.

Just when it looked liked the WI batting had improved in the 1st innings they go and put in a poor batting performance in the 2nd innings. I was really hoping that they would make more of a game out of this test match but again they have let everyone down. Congrats to India on winning the series.

I was sure WI was about to crash anytime soon, their batting can be compared to the dying fire of candlestick which gives it bright light towards the end and then fades away. I feel WI lack the character and the mental strength to even last five full days, it was an abject surrender which really makes me wonder why does team India even play such teams there's no fun in playing them.

Australia are currently in a strong position on day 1 of the second test match against Pakistan with Lyon taking 4 wickets so far. Lucky that Zaman is keeping it together at the top along with Sarfraz Ahmed or else Pakistan could of been bowled out for less then 100 runs. If these two can stay together for the rest of the day then Pakistan could post a decent total which earlier didn't look likely.

Really a good partnership between Fakhar Zaman vs Sarfraz Ahmed, that bought 100 runs partnership, it is a good spinner pitch so i think even Australia will find hard to play first innings of if pakistan score above 250+ score then the match will be interesting.

Pakistan scored 282 runs in 1st innings it's not a bad score but the middle order batsman completely failed except the captain. Now AUS started batting i think even they also struggle to score more let's see how the Pakistan spinners can handle AUS batsman.

Mohammad Abbas rocked in the last few overs of the day (even on the last ball of the day, he took the wicket of Peter Siddle). Australia will now continue batting with the score of 20 runs for 2 wickets. As of now, Pakistanis are definitely having a good time (scoring close to 300 in an inning is fine, and 2 wickets for just 20 runs in a test match is even better), let's see if the Pakistani bowlers can continue fighting with the same momentum tomorrow.

[vella85]

Pakistan are once again in the box seat in this test match as they were able to get to 282 runs which will be tough to reach on this turning pitch. What helped Pakistan even more was they got the early wicket of the danger man Usman Khawaja who was the one Australian batsman who performed well in the last test match so it will be interesting to see our Australia can pull them self out of this bad start. This test match could be over in 3-4 days if it keeps like this.

Match is well set and should be a tough one as Oz are 20/2 . They require a good partnership now and something like 50 - 75 run partnership will also help them to reach near Pakistan score or may be can take some lead as 282 is not a big total to score .

Another down for Australia and another wicket for Mohammad Abbas. Australia is now batting at 36 for 3 and looking in trouble; they need to get a good partnership ASAP to get back in the match.

[vella85]

A great bowling performance by Abbas taking 5 wickets and Pakistan bowling Australia out for just 145 runs and now Pakistan lead by 137 runs. Pakistan should win this test match unless Lyon can bowl well and get early wickets which is Australia's only hope right now. Its going to be an interesting last session.

[Thekool1s]

Lol, Austrailia got demolished by Mohammad Abbas. If Pakistan can take the lead to around 400 mark it will be game over for Austrailia.

Pakistan all already in a strong position as they are 144/2 in 2nd innings and still 3 days are left and they are leading 281 runs so if tommorrow they play fully also then they can take lead to above 450+ which will be good score to defend.

They should be able to easily achieve the lead of 400-500+ runs now. It's just the second day of the test and Mohammad Abbas magical bowling spell literally already ruined everything for Australia. IMO, Pakistan should focus on batting for another complete 1 day, there's no need to hurry, slow & steady batting from middle-order is all that they require now.

[vella85]

Pakistan are in a strong position to win now with a 281 run lead, I think anything over 350 runs will be enough to win this test match for Pakistan with the way the wicket is currently playing and its only going to get harder as the match goes on. I mentioned before the test series that Australia don't play well in the middle east no matter who they play and it looks like they will lose the series once again.

[vella85]

Surely now Pakistan will win this test match as they currently have a 428 run lead with 5 wickets in hand so if I was them they might as well bat until they are bowled out as there is still 2 full days of play to bowl Australia out. 500+ runs looks achievable for Pakistan right now and will be very tough to chase down and even try and draw with 2 days to go.

An unexpected end to the OZ first innings as they could not even make the score of 282 runs and got all out in 145. It is no competition left in this match and now OZ require 491 runs still with 9 wickets left. Just need to wait to see with how many runs will they lose the match.

Well, the match is definitely in Pakistan's favor, but still, they should not let Australia make a big partnership or something. If Australia somehow still manages to win this one, it'll be totally Sarfaraz Ahmed's, the captain's, fault.

ROFLMAO... do you still think that there is a chance that Australia is going to win this match? Dude, the target is 538, and 180 overs of play is remaining. And moreover, the match is in Abu Dhabi which supports the Pak bowlers.

I don't know about you but I've seen a lot of miracles happening in Cricket. It's not like double (or even triple) centuries have never been scored in the past. Partnerships of 300+ runs ARE possible in test matches. Have you already forgotten this year's partnership of 300+ runs between Mendis and de Silva?

Pakistan is probably going to win this one easily; however, taking the batting middle-order of Australia easy at any time could surprise you.
