Pakistan is now trail by 12 runs only. The partnership between Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali agha was broken by 172 runs a game-changer partnership. Agha is out with a score of 83 runs wicket taken by Ramesh Mendis. But Suod Shakeel amazing scored a hundred a well deserved century and played at 112 runs not out. A lovely player he is he plays 6 text match and in every match, he score fifty. Sirlinka bowler does not do well today I think the pitch is now a fever of the batting side. However Pakistan better speciality Saud Shakeel and Agha played well and continue after the wicket of Agha, Noman Ali come and played at 7 not out. The current score of Pakistan is 300 by loss of 6 wickets. I think Pakistan will give a lead of 100 plus runs that a challenge for Sirlinka.

Pakistan managed to take the lead. Before the lunch break, they managed to collect 313 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. Although Agha Salman failed to score a century, Saud Shakeel is still unbeaten with 119 runs. Apart from Saud Shakeel now Noman Ali is batting very responsibly. He is unbeaten with 13 runs off 49 balls. If Saud Shakeel is at the crease, Pakistan will take a lead of at least 100 runs. I will say if Pakistan can take more than 150 lead today then Pakistan will win this match. It will be difficult for both teams to score runs on this pitch in the second innings.

After the fall of the fifth wicket for 105 runs, Pakistan came back into the match in a big way. Now Pakistan has managed to score 313 runs by losing 6 wickets Pakistan has finished the game before the break leading by one run before the break. 

After losing five wickets for 105 runs, did anyone think that Pakistan's innings could come to such a place. Patience is very important in test cricket If you are a professional test cricketer then you must have enough patience. Maybe 5 to 10 overs continuously, the bowlers are bowling very well. In these five to ten overs, it will be seen that four to five balls have been bowled. You can do a lot for the team. 

Pakistan still have six valuable wickets in their hands so it is expected that Pakistan will end the first innings with a lead of 150 runs.

Pakistan Lost six wicked but if look the performance of shakeel is very good .By the excitement they are display .it seems like they are try to make up for the lost wicked. If it Ali also support the shakeel ,he can do it .That they make up for their lost of wicked.
If look the bowling of ramesh is very good .Ali is also finding it difficult to hit his spin ball.Rameah already taken two wicked .so Ali will have to be attention.

7 wickets have gone down but Pakistan recovered nicely from the initial damage. At the moment Pakistan lead by 18 runs and it was possible only because of 176 runs partnership between Saud Shakeel and Agha Salman. Tail fought hard and kept Sri Lanka away from taking lead in first innings. Pakistan still have few wickets in hands and they should try to take lead to 100 to have definite first innings advantage. Today is day three and it seems we will see result of this game.

[Bitcoin_people]

Day 3: 2nd Session Pakistan put on a great batting performance. Especially the Pakistani batsman Saud Shakeel who has helped keep Pakistan's game alive since yesterday. He also had a great batting performance today with his highest score with the bat scoring 127 runs off 181 balls which is a huge score for Pakistan. He is currently putting in a good batting performance to go further and if he can last till the end then Pakistan's score will go up. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka bowlers have done well especially Prabath Jayasuriya and Ramesh Mendis both have good bowling performances. Pakistan's position is not very good at the moment although they have very few wickets in hand so they will not be able to add much runs. At the moment, Pakistan has accumulated 346 runs with the loss of 8 wickets.

[LDL]

I thought after the 176 run partnership between Agah Salman and Saud Shakeel maybe going to have a big partnership with Nauman Ali but Pakistan couldn't build a big partnership there either. Then Shaheen Afridi also got out. Pakistan may not be able to give a lead of too many runs. If Pakistan can handle the next few wickets well then they might be able to give some runs and then get advantage for Pakistan's second innings.

Pak 346/8
Pakistan lead by 34 runs

[rojan]

In the 1st Test match of Sri Lanka vs Pakistan team, the game is quite concentrated between the two teams. Sri Lanka was all out for 312 runs.Pakistan scored 341 runs in 76 overs. Still Pakistan team has 3 wickets. Pakistan team is ahead of Sri Lanka team by 29 runs.Pakistan team bowler performance was very good.Pakistan started the game very well in batting.Babar Azam batted badly in 1st inns.Babar Azam got out with 13 runs in 16 balls.Saud Shakeel started with good performance in batting.181 balls Scored 127 runs.I think Saud Shakeel can score 150 runs if he plays a few more overs well.

Pakistan lead by 34 runs

If Pakistan can take a lead of 100 runs it will be enough for them. But I am not sure whether Pakistan will be able to take a lead of 100 runs. Now Pakistan has collected 260 runs after losing 8 wickets. Although Pakistan lost 8 wickets, Saud Shakeel is still at the crease after collecting 140 runs. Pakistan managed to take a lead of 48 runs. If Saud Shakeel is at the crease, Pakistan has a chance of taking a 100-run lead. But since they have lost 8 wickets, it is not easy for batsmen like Naseem Shah and Abrar Ahmed to stay at the crease. It seems that the Pakistan team will take a lead of 70-80 runs.

Salman Ali Agha Missed His Well Deserved Hundred By Just 17 Runs Some 80s Are Better than a Hundred Pakistan is now lead by 43 runs Saud Shakeel played amazingly at 135 runs unbeaten while Naseem Shah is playing dots only. Pakistan 355 runs in a loss of 8 wickets Sirlinkan Spineer was unable to pick lower order wickets too fast. I think if Saud played Aggressive shorts lead will be 100 plus that an enough to make a pressure on Sirlinka's batter to win this match. Ramesh Mendis pick 2 wickets today Agha and Noman Ali although the quality spin blower of Sirlinka Prabath Jayasuriya does not pick any wickets today let's see how many runs leads are given by Pakistan to Sirlinka.

The Sri Lankan bowler's performance is not good today. Sri Lankan bowlers are not able to take the wickets of Pakistan's lower order. And slowly Pakistan team is moving towards a big collection. Now Pakistan's total is 381/8. Naseem Shah is providing excellent support to Saud Shakeel. Saud Shakeel remains unbeaten with 154 runs. On the other hand, Naseem Shah collected only 1 run off 25 balls. Pakistan has already got 35 runs from this pair. Pakistan has taken a lead of 69 runs. This is a very good collection. If the Pakistani bowlers can bowl controlled in the next innings, the chances of Pakistan winning are high.

@kro55 if Srilankan bowler’s do not dismiss these two then Pakistan will comfortably take a huge lead hence post the break the Srilankan bowler’s need to come up with a new plan to save this match. Also if Pakistan manage to take a lead of 150+ then it’ll be very difficult for Srilanka to give them a big target and thus at the moment it looks like Pakistan will win this game quiet easily.

Pak Vs sL
SL 1st inn 312/all-out
PAK 404/8

Pakistan lead by 92 runs... continuing
Suad Shakeel 163*
Naseem Shah 5*

Pakistan would have been all out much earlier if Suad Shakeel had not held firm in Pakistan's batting line. Suad Shakeel's contribution was immense in taking Pakistan's innings past 400+ runs today. Naseem Shah, on the other hand, is helping form a great partnership by countering the defensive mood at the other end. A partnership of 60 runs has already been formed between these two. But let's see how far Pakistan can give Sri Lanka a run lead.

Sound Shakeel will make a really amazing century as he is currently the only one in form for the Pakistani team. Soud Shakeel completed 173 runs on 268 balls alone on the second day. If this pair of Naseem Shah and Soud Shakeel survive till today then Soud Shakeel will be able to score a double century. However, if Sri Lanka is not able to lose all the wickets of Pakistan today, Sri Lanka will be under a lot of pressure in the second Test match.

[JSRAW]

Lol Sri Lanka really lost the plot, Saud Shakeel turned out to be a trump card for Pakistan and a big party pooper for the Lankans.

You need talent and a good cricketing brain to build partnerships with the tailenders and Shakeel did exactly the same. Mathews must be kicking himself for dropping Shakeel and he's punishing them with a possibly match winning knock, hard for SL to make a comeback here.

The second innings goes much easier for those who lead in terms of runs in the first innings.  Sri Lanka scored 312 runs in the first innings but meanwhile Pakistan scored 414/8 and are still playing.  Shakeel alone has scored 173 runs and is still not out.  Pakistan is still 102 runs ahead of Sri Lanka.  So second innings is very easy for Pakistan and chances of winning the match are much ahead. Sri Lanka are under a lot of pressure now so the second innings is going to be very difficult for them

[Gulttam2a2]

Saud Shakeel is batting brilliantly. Sri Lankan bowlers don't know how to get saud shakeel out. Saud Shakeel has become the biggest obstacle for Sri Lanka. Saud Shakeel and Agha Salman's 177-run partnership helped Pakistan score big runs. But agha salman was out for 83 runs he missed his century. But on the other hand Saud Shakeel is fighting alone for Pakistan he is still unbeaten on 184 runs. I think he will get a double century. Pakistan have taken a lead of 114 runs which will be a bit of a problem for Sri Lanka. There are 29 overs left in today's game. Where Saud Shakeel and Nassem Shah will resist the Sri Lankan bowlers well. In my opinion Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 1st Test match will go towards a draw.

At least on paper, Pakistan is much superior to Sri Lanka (who, like West Indies is on the decline). Saud Shakeel is batting on 189 n.o, and he may get to a double ton in the next few overs. Only two wickets remain for Pakistan now, and Naseem is at the crease along with Saud. And after him, it's going to be the tailenders Abrar Ahmed. Saud needs to be careful and take as much of the strike as possible. Sri Lankan spinners (Prabath Jayasuriya and Ramesh Mendis) are looking quite ordinary, after picking up crucial wickets yesterday.

Very true. I never expected Pakistan to provide such a big lead to Sri Lanka when it looked like they would trail them by a decent margin at one point. Shakeel and Agha did something magical here.

Jayasuriya and Mendis were the only decent bowlers while the rest were totally disappointing. Pakistan is set to win this one.

Pakistan has turned this match around on its head. They have a really big lead right now. Shakeel is on 194 and he is about to get his double century. I am quite sure that he’s going to get it.

mm, the problem is Pakistan has already lost eight wickets. So he has to take most of the strike. I like how Naseem Shah is supporting him though. Naseem has scored only 6 runs from 68 balls. He is really not taking any risk and his main target is to stay in the middle. That has worked out very well so far for Pakistan. Right now Pakistan has a lead of 124. Pakistan is absolutely on top of the situation right now.

Scoring the first double century in the 6th international test match is extraordinary. Saud Shakeel did an excellent job. Right now, Pakistan is all out by 461 runs. Saud Shakeel scored 208 and was unbeaten. But Pakistan already got a good lead from this inning. These 149 runs will help them in the 2nd innings.

Pakistan's Top orders could do better than this. This match could have been a disaster for Pakistan without Saud Shakeel and Agha Salman. Shan Masood played well, but the rest of the batters were terrible.
