In the Test match between Bangladesh and India, we have seen that India has presented a very good game in both bowling and batting. We know that India is much stronger than the players of Bangladesh.  However, Bangladesh impressed the audience by showing extraordinary performance in some matches.

Bangladesh need 471 runs to win. it seem not possible to cover for Bangladesh . because India bowler are very strong and they can out one by one Bangladesh players there are no doubt india can win this test match against Bangladesh . Bangladesh has played well in ODI match but they are not playing well in Test matches yet.

I can't fully agree with your words because the way Bangladesh is performing against India in this tour I think anything could be possible. And I think that Bangladesh cricket team has the ability to chase 471 run target . And if we see the highest score of Bangladesh in test format it is 638 run against Sri Lanka. And against india they have record of 400run .So I think if Bangladesh can just hold their wicket without Batting like ODI or t20 I think they have a chance

Being hopeful is one thing but being soo optimistic about this is really crazy. I think it's not chaseable at all,unless there is a miracle from Bangladeshi side which in cricket happens in like once in a decade this can happen. Even the highest run chase done by any team in 4th Innings in test cricket is 418 which happened 20 years ago. Even that was a miracle too, because WI chased the total against the mighty Australia. So if such a thing could happen again we'll see.

Being hopeful is good, they also have the home team advantage. Based on the highest run chase in a test match cricket it is really a big target. There are matches in which the teams used to score very low score in the first innings and come up good in the second innings. In this match we've got time, but the target isn't reachable. Lets watch what's gonna happen.

Anyone watching the South Africa vs Australia test match at Brisbane? South Africa is in deep shit. They are at 139/8, with Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada at crease. Only Verreynne and Bavuma managed to score above 10 runs. Mitchell Starc took 3 wickets so far, and Scott Boland is just having a dream run in this test as well. So far he has picked up 2 wickets, to keep his test bowling average hovering around the 10.00 mark. And now Nathan Lyon has joined the party, by picking up two quick wickets (including that of Kyle Verreynne).

Australia vs South Africa 1st test match
South Africa all out on 152 runs , only Kyle Verreynne made some reasonable runs 64. All the other batsman  couldn't score any runs . Definitely a tremendous balling by Australians  Mitchell Starc 3 wickets Nathan Lyon 3 wickets . This first innings is totally for Australia as they'll chase this easily .

Definitely a tremendous balling by Australians  Mitchell Starc 3 wickets Nathan Lyon 3 wickets . This first innings is totally for Australia as they'll chase this easily .

It should be a bowling friendly track which means you cannot expect high scores. Australia just lost their first wicket (Warner) for duck hence you can expect a close encounter throughout this test match. Still, I assume chasing a small total like less than 200 runs in forth inning would be easier for Australia and at the same time if they need to chase anything beyond 280 then the chances are belonging to South Africa.

South Africa is in deep shit. They are at 139/8, with Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada at crease.

They managed to cross 150 runs. I am expecting a low score thriller out of this first match of between these two strong bowling attach teams. So, 150 runs on first innings seems like competitive in my eyes.

Bangladesh managed to collect pretty good runs at start maintained a good partnership but 2 back to back wickets somehow lost there momentum now let's see how coming batsman will perform and how they chase trail of 370+  runs . Its impossible realistically but you can still hope for anything.

Action packed weekend for the Test Cricket.

-Australia vs South Africa Battle at the Gabba looks dangerous from a batter's point of view.
-England just wants to clean sweep Pakistan in this historic tour.
-India searching for wickets, and Ash Anna as well.

Bangladesh has played well in ODI match but they are not playing well in Test matches yet.

Bangladesh is an unpredictable team especially winning match they can lose. And when the opponent throws a big target, they will not be able to collect the required score. There are many such histories have in their cricket. Moreover, with the current batting capacity of Bangladesh, it is a very difficult task for them to collect the 471 runs. But if the performance is like the first two matches of the previous ODI series, it is a different matter. But naturally they will not be able to maintain the winning streak in this match. Even though, a partnership of 42 runs was built without losing any wicket.

Unpredictability usually works in T20 matches. In a test match, you need to be consistent with your form and only then you can win a five days long test match. Bangladesh has made 257/6 runs and they need almost  256 more runs to win this match. There is no way Bangladesh can score this many runs and we are still on day 4, so it is practically not possible for Bangladesh to save this test match.

In the other test match between Pakistan and England, Pakistan played better cricket today, thanks to Baber Azam still playing at 76. Pakistan batsmen chipped in but non can make a big total except Baber Azam.  A lot depends on how many runs Pakistan can collect in this inning and how the tail can support Baber Azam. A minimum target for Pakistan should be 350 runs.

Bangladesh already lost  6 wickets and 271 trail now this is not possible for them to win this match as with 4 wickets this chase is impossible.  This match is in indias side now.

Pakistan on their first day bat reasonably collected  285 runs.s 8 wickets gone and again only Babar Azam performed something rest of the batsman did nothing and got out . Pakistan can score maximum 300 runs in their first innings.

Surely India will win the test tomorrow. No doubt about it. If anyone think they can bet and get some easy money from this match, they are too late because most gambling houses have suspended the bets for this match.



In the other match, Pakistan are all out for 304 runs. Jack Leach was the star of England's bowlers and took 4 wickets. The match is in balance and lot depends on how England plays in their second innings.

Bangladesh have fallen by six wickets and still need 241 for 4 wickets. So far it is not guaranteed that India will win the match.  Because if Bangladesh can save their wickets and fill these runs then they can also win.  But that seems unlikely.  India will probably win this journey in this test match .

[JSRAW]

-India is in full control so it's safe to say they are the favorite to win this match, the question would be how big a margin of their win is.
- Australia would be disappointed after those late 2 wickets but they are ahead in this game as Travis Head is still at the crease and 50+ lead could potentially win a match for them.
- Pakistan is all out but the good thing is they touched the 300 mark, although not sure if it's a subpar total or competitive score at this pitch.

PS: There is should be some bonus points if any team wins by an inning after forcing a follow-on. Don't remember when i last saw follow-on in the test cricket.

It's really difficult for Bangladesh to chase almost 250 runs on last day and 2 wickets in hand so India won this test match somehow.

Pakistan scored 304 runs a good target to chance ,England started off 7 runs 1 wicket on day 1 . Lets see this time Pakistani balling can save them in any way or England will clean sweep Pakistan in this test series with a 3-0.

Bangladesh's second-best Test partnership against India is now Najmul Hossain Shanto and Zakir Hasan. On Zakir Hasan's Test debut, he scores a century! Bangladesh played well. Test cricket should be played more frequently by Bangladesh with teams such as India, Australia, Africa, and England to improve their skills.

After day 4, India has the upper hand. There is little chance for Bangladesh, but at least they could reach day 5 of the game. Mehidy and Shakib will continue to fight until 241 more runs are scored. For both teams tomorrow, I think the first session is crucial. It is important for India to get Shakib's wicket.

It's a great performance of Young opener Zakir Hasan scored a century on debut in the Chittagong Test against India. The opener scored 100 runs from 224 balls with 12 fours and a six. Another opener Nazmul Hossain Shanto completed his half-century on the day of Zakir Hasan's century. He returned with 67 runs off 156 balls with 7 fours. These two openers made a partnership of 124 runs in the opening pair.

Despite such a great start in the second innings, Yasir Ali could not take advantage of batting at the number three position. He returned with 5 runs off 12 balls. Before that, he returned in the first innings with 4 runs from 17 balls. Which it has been identified as a major loss for the team. Meanwhile Liton Das could not do well. now Shakib Al Hasan and Mehdi Miraj will be relied upon to bring them back but it won't take long to end the innings.

Shakib is way past his prime which is why I'm not expecting any crazy heroics from him. Expecting him and the remaining 3 players who are basically bowlers to score 241 runs is crazy if you think about it.

This game is over because India has already won. What's left to see is by how big a margin they end up winning against them.

With the position Bangladesh is in right now, only weather can help them, either way i did not expect Bangladesh to play out the entire day tonight but the openers played an incredible fightback with a century partnership but the rest of the batsman were struggling and at one point i was thinking whether the pitch became flat with the way the openers were batting .

With the end of fourth day play now things looking easy for the Indian team because they have enough time to bowled out last four tail enders on this pitch with Shakib and Mehdi both are looking for the long partnership which is never been easy on fifth day play in test match and 241 is also big target even they have done good job after trailing in first inning by big margin 35 years old Shakib who is playing his 64th test match for the Bangladesh is having 40 runs even now most chances they will lose by big margin, but his inning is still good for himself and team because he can cut margin even defeat is defeat, but this could be help them for having better chance into next test match which is also coming in next few days.

The way Bangladesh's opening pair was performing, I thought Bangladesh might win the match. But even though the two openers played well, we did not see good batting from the later batsmen. Bangladesh had a chance to win this match if the next three batsmen batted with some responsibility. Now Miraj and Shakib are at the crease. Both are experienced players. But collecting 241 runs is very difficult. I think next day Bangladesh will lose all wickets to collect 100-120 runs.

[Emitdama]

After losing first two test matches in this historic test series now things looking not good for Pakistan as they lost all ten wickets on first day play with just 304 runs on board Babar, Salman and Azhar done good job on this dry wicket and post good runs with first time Pakistani batting play aggressively in this series Leach and debutant Rehan were the pick of the bowlers at the end of first day play England trailing by 297 runs with nine wickets in hands Abrar pick wicket in his first over as Crawley gone on duck.

Pakistan playing in this series without any planning and losing matches very comfortably which is surely giving all updates how things going in this team and management with now we have rumours Ramiz Raja is also going as he is not allowing Pakistani team to visit India for World Cup and present government is not happy with his this stand.
