Australia lost 6/68 this morning and Marnus Labuschagne was the only Australian batsmen who scored fifty. Good agressive batting start from Pakistan. Bothe openers gone for 124 runs. Shan Masood is at crease with Babar Azam. The both need to stay on the pitch till stumps and if does happen then Pakistan had a good chance of taking lead in first innings.
Shan Masood is playing aggressively which is what Pakistan required, scoring 49 runs on 62 balls. Not much success for Australian bowlers so far.

Pat commins two successive wickets.
Pakistan started the game fairly well in the first innings but two consecutive wickets from Pat Cummins managed to keep Pakistan under some pressure. Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam could not give anything for Pakistan in today's innings. Pat Cummins bowled out directly and went back to the dressing room.
Abdullah Shafiq (62) then Pakistan captain Shan Masood (53*) managed to score a half century. But if Pakistan could have maintained the consistency like the beginning, then today Pakistan could have fulfilled the target of 318 runs and given the lead.

In today's 1st Test match of South Africa vs India, India team came to bat. In 58 overs, they scored 202 runs for 8 overs. India team did not perform well in batting today. India team batsman Rohit Sharma got out for 5 runs in 14 balls.  Virat Kohli is out for 38 runs in 64 balls. Shubman Gill is out for 2 runs in 12 balls. But India team batsmen are under pressure to perform well from South Africa team bowlers. It seems that India team will not be able to score 260 runs before India team all.  will be out.

Kagiso Rabada performed very well in the first inning of match. He took 5 wickets by giving 44 runs in 17 overs. Nandre Burger also performed very well, he took important 3 wickets . He surprised Indian batsmans. South African International cricket team is dominant on Indian International cricket team and Indian International cricket team is not that kind of team that will play excellent in foreign countries. They play well on their own pitches. They can't win this test match against South Africa.Indian Cricket board should give permission to their players to play other countries leagues.

In 1st test south africa won toss and bowls first india made 202/8 in 59 overs rain distrubs play and Day 2 stumps off. India lost their top order wickets early and pressure will remain on team india KL rahul with 70 runs on the crease south African bowlers dominant on team india what an excellent bowling by rabada takes 5 wickets while Nandre takes 2 wickets and 1 by jansen south africa should takes 2 wickets early on 2nd Day and lead on india to win 1st test on their home

As soon as the partnership between Shakeel and Masood was looking good, Pat Cummins came and broke the partnership. Babar Azam's bad form continues as he got bowled by Cummins for only 1 run, thankfully he did not get out for a duck. The good thing is that Massod is still on the pitch and has been playing well. He already has his half-century and is looking for a century in this second test. For now, Pakistan has lost 3 wickets and is trailing by 171 runs which looks like can be chased if another partnership is formed.

[Sithara007]

I am not sure whether Pakistan will be able to make a 200 plus total. They are at 151/5, and just now Saud Shakeel was cleaned up by Josh Hazlewood. Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman are at the crease now and after them it is going to be Hasan Ali and Aamer Jamal. This time the bowlers did their job for Pakistan, but the batsmen are continuing with their poor form. Most surprising thing is that Nathan Lyon has picked up two of the wickets. I thought that this track didn't had much for the slower bowlers.

Australia performed very well in the first Test match against Australia vs Pakistan. We can see his consistency in the first innings of the second Test match when Australia was bowled out for 318 runs. Pakistan lost their first Test match badly against Australia. So Pakistan's batsmen should have batted a little better in the second test but Pakistan's batsmen did not bat that well. Pakistan team's current score is 179 runs for 5 wickets. Pakistan's current playing situation looks like they can score 250 runs at most. Pakistan may not win this test match. Australia is more likely to win this test series.

They have now lost 6 wickets but will be able to make 200 runs as they have already got 188 runs. Rizwan and Jamal are batting now, Rizwan is the only last known batter left in the side. He can change the game if he keeps on going the way he has been doing. Again Pakistan batting collappsed, the whole middle order again being ineffectiveness against Australia's bowling attack.

Apart from Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood no Pakistani player was able to score runs today and at stumps they have lost 6 wickets. Pakistan still trail by 124 runs and chances are rear that they will be able to make 318 runs. If Pakistan give Australia a lead of 70 to 80 runs in first innings then Australia have a bright chance on winning this too.
Babar Azam once again failed to score runs, 36 runs in his 3 innings at Australia. It might be a good idea to try some new Batsmen in place of Babar Azam. Meanwhile Babar Azam can work to improve his performance.

Two Big international tests are ongoing right now but Pakistan vs Australia (2nd test between them) has more thing to talk yet. In 1st test, AUS won by 360 runs and this time Australia scored 318 runs which can be called fair amount for Pakistan as target. No 100s from any Australian betsman but Labuschagne have done 63 run maybe only one 50s among them. all batsman played avarage IMHO. Even all of Pakistani bowlers performance were good. All of them got wickets but Aamer Jamal got the heigest 3 wickets as a new comer. Now Pakistan batting is ongoing but they already lost 6 wickets with 194 run where Abdullah Shafique scored 62 run and 54 runs by Shan Masood. Imam-ul-Haq & Babar Azam still seems not in their form that's why they got out with low run rate. Maybe that's why it will be harder for Pakistan team to archive such scored which was done by Australia. Mohammad Rizwan is still on the field and there'll a lot to happen

It looks like both teams from the subcontinent are struggling with their batting. On one side, Pakistan have lost 6 wickets and are struggling to get to the target of 318 runs given by Australia. While India batting after losing the toss and batting first have managed to get to 208 runs because of KL Rahul. Otherwise, they would not have even got 150 runs if he did not bat well. Both teams are struggling because of their middle order, as for both it did not go well and known batters were seen struggling against the pace attack. The match between India and South Africa got interrupted due to the rain, today it got suspended due to the rain.

Pakistan still trail by 124 runs and chances are rear that they will be able to make 318 runs. If Pakistan give Australia a lead of 70 to 80 runs in first innings then Australia have a bright chance on winning this too.

70-80 runs lead? You have got to be kidding. They will most probably end up trailing the Australians by a small margin since Rizwan is their only proper batsman left currently. They messed up a great start.

Babar Azam once again failed to score runs, 36 runs in his 3 innings at Australia. It might be a good idea to try some new Batsmen in place of Babar Azam. Meanwhile Babar Azam can work to improve his performance. 

Lol. They won't replace their best batsman just because he is going through a bad phase. He will bounce back later.

I doubt Pakistan will be able give any run lead to Australia. The last official batters Rizwan is batting now with a Pakistani bowler. If he gets out then it would be game over for Pakistan. This match too is turning out to be just like the first one. The only exception here is tha Pakistani bowling was better than what we saw earlier. The batting is still not good and as they have lost 6 wickets in quick interval. Poor batting was the primary reaso why Pakistan lost the first test. They are again repeating the same mistake that they committed earlier.

On the second day, Pakistan bowlers beat all the batsmen of the Australian team and they also lost some wickets. David Warner was the first wicket and he was out on in 27.1 overs.

This is the last test series of Warner and after this series, we will never see David Warner in international cricket. David Warner lost a wicket from the spin of Agha Salman and when the ball hit on the pitch so it bounced like a Top-spin and was a good length but Warner thought that it was on his foot but the ball was outside off and touched the edge of the bat of Warner and goes in the hands of Babar Azam.

Australia's top order batted well. Australia collected 318 runs in the first innings. Warner's innings stopped at 38 runs. I thought Warner would make the last test match of his career memorable and score a century. But he returned to the dressing room after collecting 38 runs.

As usual we are seeing poor batting from Pakistani batsmen today. Although opener Abdullah Shafique batted well, we did not see good batting from experienced batsmen like Babar, imam ul Haque and Saud Shakeel. At the end of the day, losing 6 wickets, Pakistan collected only 194 runs. Pakistan team is still behind by 124 runs. Pakistan will probably be able to collect around 250.

Shan Masood is at crease with Babar Azam. The both need to stay on the pitch till stumps and if does happen then Pakistan had a good chance of taking lead in first innings.
Shan Masood is playing aggressively which is what Pakistan required, scoring 49 runs on 62 balls. Not much success for Australian bowlers so far.

Today 2 nd day of this test game Australia team vs Pakistan team was ended. Pakistan team won toss and elected bat first in this game. Australia team concluded 1 st inning, Australia team dismissed entire batsman and Australia team scored 318 runs in 96.5 overs. Opener batsman effort was outstanding, D.

South Africa finished first session without much damage. But they were pathetic in the first hour. From a position of 208/8, they allowed India to get to 245. The partnership between KL Rahul and Mohammed Siraj added 47 valuable runs (of which the latter added 5 runs). These runs may prove to be critical in the end. Two of the South African bowlers were impressive (Kagiso Rabada and Nandre Burger), while the other two failed completely. And they didn't used any of the part-timers such as Aiden Markram or Keegan Petersen.

With the help of Kl Rahul's 101, India managed to collect 245 runs. India started their first innings very badly. So 245 runs is a good enough collection for them. If Kl Rahul does not play well, the Indian team would have lost all the wickets within 160-170. Rabada managed to take 5 wickets and Burger 3 wickets.

South Africa did not start their first innings well. They lost the important wicket of marakram by just 11 runs. At the end of 16 overs, South Africa managed to collect 49 runs after losing 1 wicket. Elgar 29 and Zorzi 11 at the crease now.

Indian bowlers are not doing well. They picked up South Africa's first wicket for 11 runs. And now South Africa's collection is 84 runs. The Indian bowlers could not pick up any wickets.

Since India cannot collect big, if the Indian bowlers do not bowl well in this match, the chances of India losing are high. India scored only 246 runs. South Africa are currently trailing by just 161 runs. Elgar and Zorzi are batting very responsibly now. If the partnership of these two batsmen is prolonged, India will be under more pressure. South Africa will probably be able to take a lead of 100-150 runs very easily.

Pakistan at the end of day 2 scored 194 runs in loss of 6 wickets. At one stage 102/1 Pakistan is looking to give huge lead to Australia but Australia amazing bowling performance picked fast wickets of Pakistan team. Very disappointed batting from Babar azam is out for just 1 score. Now Muhammad Rizwan is playing at 26 runs note out with fast bowlers amar Jamal on 2 score. Australia Will looking to picked the wicket of Muhammad Rizwan and all out Pakistan in under 250 runs, Pakistan trail by 124 runs.

KL Rahul's performance has been truly exceptional, and he has shown great skill to take India to a competitive total. Worth mentioning are KL Rahul's pairings with the lower order batsmen, who have helped India recover from a precarious situation. The pitch conditions are definitely challenging for batting. South Africa have so far scored 138 runs for 3 wickets with the game still underway and Elgar continues the batting for South Africa with 82 runs. Africa are in a slightly better position, it is not clear which way the match is going, but India can come back with their strong bowling line-up.
