Bangladesh vs Pakistan
It's turning into a high scoring match as both team have score high. Pakistan batting first scored 448 at a loss of 6 wickets before they declared the innings in hope of getting Bangladesh wickets quick but instead Bangladesh is batting even better. This scoring at the end of 3rd day might mean a draw is highly probable.

Yeh Bangladesh is really doing good, I taught they Gona lose most of wickets before 300 but surprisingly they not only filled the required Target through some vital innings and partnership but took a handsome lead which may have put them on front seat to victory if Pakistani team failed to scored more than 500 in thier second innings, now Pakistan lose just single wicket but still they have plenty decent batter so any thing can expect but may be we will have drawn results as pitch really favor batting side also they will have last day too so let see where things will gone

England vs Sri Lanka
This one looks to be heading towards a result. England would want to all out Sri Lanka tomorrow so as to chase the score to win. I don't see much hope for Sri Lanka unless their bowling works like masic on England's 2nd batting.

I think there is no match and comparison between england and SiriLankan especially when SiriLankan play abroad as thier main strength is spin bowling which really work on thier home condition so when ever they played outside of thier home they will be in huge trouble so finally at day 4 england chased the required Target and won the match with a 1-0 lead in 3 matches series

No one was expecting a big score like that from Bangladesh. The people of Bangladesh aren't following this series much. Even there is a big change in BCB. I think the players of Bangladesh have completely played in a free mind. Which has helped them to play a good innings. Because they have the history of pathetic batting performance in test format on batting friendly pitch. This match is heading towards draw now. We shouldn't bet on anything else without draw.

SL tail went back to the pavilion rather quick, 204 lead was never going to enough and it didn't, SL could have done better in first inning.

Meanwhile, Pak vs Ban — finally a test that continues on day 5, been a while. Really wanted to see Mushfiqur make his 200, always feels bad when player gets out in 90s.

Exactly my dear friend. I was not expecting too. But they played really well. Did you see the batting of Mushfiqur Rahim. He played very well. He made 191 runs. Just near to the double century but unfortunately he got out at 191 runs. But his batting was really good.
Well now Pakistan has started their turn and they already lost one wicket. And now they made 27 runs with one wicket lost. I am looking that this match will be drawn. Because today is the last day and Pakistan is playing the second inning and Bangladesh played only one inning so 90% chances are that this match will be drawn. There is one possibility of winning of Bangladesh that is if they out the whole team of Pakistan under the trial. But this is looking impossible.

[hafiztalha]

Yes, You are right Mushfiqur Rahim played an outstanding inning of 191 runs unfortunately missed a well deserved double century by 9 runs short but Mushfiqur Rahim reached the team total to 565 runs in first inning of test match. The partnership of 196 runs between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mushfiqur Rahim played an important role to lead 117 runs for Pakistan. in second inning Pakistan lost their wicket of Saim Ayub at 5 score and currently 23 runs with loss of single wickets at the eid of day 4. Bangladesh now looking to picked some quick wicket at the start of day 5 morning session if they want to win this test match but more possibilities of test match was drawn.

1 st test game Pakistan and Bangladesh team,  both these teams already played their 1 st Inning and Bangladesh team effort in their 1 st Inning was  totally mind blowing and their few batsman showed brilliant effort in bat line and they chased the big runs of Pakistan team and Pakistan team made 448 runs but Bangladesh team made 565 runs. Almost 113 runs Bangladesh lead this game and now Pakistan 2 nd Inning started and they already lost their 1 st wicket successfully. S.Ayub was dismissed in start of 2 nd inning and made only 1 runs and now both Abdullah and Masood is continuing their lineup hope both will perform well. M.Rahim Bangladesh Batsman, he made 191 runs such a beautiful run they achieve in game and he hitted twenty two 4s and one 6s. Two batsman also completed 50 runs and these are the batsman Litton and Haque. Hasan Mirza also played very well and he made 77 runs in 179 balls and hitted six 4s.

Hmmm that is right that both teams have played their first innings. First Pakistan played well and they made 448 runs and declares. And when Bangladesh started their turn they played well to. The 448 runs is a high score but Bangladesh gave a tough time and chased that target and they made a lead for Pakistan. I appreciate the batting of one person from Bangladesh you know well I am talking about Mushfiqur Rahim he played excellently and made 191 runs.
Well Pakistan started their turn and they have lost one wicket too. And today is the last day and I think this match will be dra.

I thought yesterday Shaheen Shah Afridi changed his style of celebration after taking wickets but after listening commentary, I understood why he changed it because today he became a father and dedicated this celebration to his son. These are the words from the commentators.

Anyways about his performance he has played well in the end of the innings as he picked the two wickets. Pakistan has batted today too for some overs and they made 23 runs but they lost Saim Ayub at the start that could be hard for the Pakistan team in the game tomorrow but now everyone understands this match would not go in the favour of either team as we have only the last day left in this match.

The fifth day's play has already started and Pakistan are batting in the second innings against Bangladesh where they have managed to accumulate 32 runs on the scoreboard for the loss of 2 wickets so far. Pakistan is still 84 runs behind Bangladesh. The current situation of the match looks like the result of this match will be a draw as we have seen that both the teams have completed their first innings and it took four days for both teams to complete their first innings in one day surely the two teams will not be able to complete their second and last innings. If Bangladesh can quickly make 10 wickets fall, things will be different.   

Pakistan lost two wickets quickly if in between they can build a good partnership and they can play till half time of the day then the result of this match will not go in favor of any team and the result of this match will be inconclusive.

What a luck that Abdullah Shafique has, In 21.2 overs he wanted to dot that ball (ball was short) he sat below but by chance, the ball touched the edge of the bat and went up towards four but everyone there and Abdullah Shafique too thought this could be out but it was not, what luck is it. If you are watching this match, then you can understand even the commentator has tried by saying “What A luck he has.”
Babar Azam is batting alongside Abdullah Shafique as well. In the last innings, Babar Azam was out on the zero runs but not this time because he is playing average so far.

England won the 1st test match against SL by 5 wickets. In the 3rd inning, SL's top order failed miserably. The Sri Lankan middle order played sensibly and helped their team to get a lead of over 200. Kamindu Mendis scored a brilliant hundred and was equally supported by the experienced batters, Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal. This target was not enough to hold England back and they won the match quite comfortably. Joe Root played a handy inning of 62*.

Bangladesh team gave a handsome lead of over 100 runs to Pakistan. BAN's middle and lower order played exceptionally well and contributed significantly to the team total. Although Pakistan lost 2 wickets early in the 3rd inning, this match will end up in a draw because of the flatness of the wicket.

[AirtelBuzz]

We saw a different Bangladesh in the first test match against Pakistan. I don't remember the last time I saw the Bangladesh team give such a great batting performance in a Test match. Bangladesh team batsmen Mushfiqur Rahim, Sadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Liton Kumar Das and Mehdi Hasan Miraj played their best against Pakistan. Mainly based on the impeccable batting performance of these few batsmen, the Bangladesh team climbed the mountain of runs. But the most regrettable thing is that Mushfiqur Rahim missed his double century by just 9 runs, he could have achieved another record if he played with a little more patience and attention.

By the way Pakistan team again came to the field to bat their second innings yesterday. They have already lost three wickets for 66 runs.Babar Azam's dismissal in today's match was spectacular as Bangladesh's new bowler Nahid Rana was bowled out directly.

[JSRAW]

Before this series kicked in, who'd have thought that Pakistan might find themselves in the trenches? They can only blame themselves, starting from the management, curator and then the team.

Some brain fade moment from Shakeel and due to his wicket Bangladesh are sniffing the blood here, their body language has changed completely. A couple of more wickets and they can create a history.

[3kpk3]

All eyes on Rizwan at the moment since he is the backbone of the Pakistan batting department these days. If Bangladesh manage to somehow remove him quickly, they could actually win this one instead of settling for a draw.

Also, what the heck is going on with Babar Azam these days? He has been out of form in the test format for quite a while now.

Before the start of the series, no one thought that Bangladesh would ignite like their country's student movement on Pakistani soil. Pakistan declared for 448 in the first innings as their team management thought they would not be able to take advantage of Pakistan's home ground in Bangladesh. Shakib, Nahid Rana's bowling of two crucial wickets really put Pakistan under a lot of pressure. The future of Pakistan's match depends on the wickets of Rizwan and Shafique, but they are now picking up runs quickly and are 16 runs behind Bangladesh. At the moment, Bangladesh's bowling spell needs a change as Nahid bowling line length looks very weak resulting in Pakistani batsmen getting runs.

After Babar Azam there was just one hope that they have Saud Shakeel and he has lost his wicket early too as he wanted to play long shots for that he moved his steps further but he missed this shot and ball goes to keeper’s hand. The keeper has not left this chance he moved his hands very fast and hit to the wickets. Saud Shakeel was out after Babar Azam. In that time, we have seen 2 back to back wickets. The Pakistan team was not playing well at the start of the game and lost wickets quickly which was really not expected of them.

[Farhan99]

The only problem I see with the Sri Lanka team is that they have only 4 wickets left. However Kamindu Mendis is playing at 56 and looking set and his partner  Dinesh Chandimal is also settled down. If these two continue their innings, it would be nice for the team. Let’s see, I just hope this match will not go in tie and will end with a good result for the one team.

Yeah, In second innings Sri lanka team made 326 runs and gave the target of 205 runs to England excellent batting by Kamindu Mendis scored 113 runs and Dinesh Chandimal played 79 runs innings Sri lanka team played good innings excellent bowling by Matthew Potts and Chris Woakes took three three wickets. England team easily chased the target 205 runs with loss of 5 wickets Joe Root played 62 runs match winning innings from sri lanka side Asitha Fernando and Prabath Jayasuriya takes two two wickets credit goes to England team for their brilliance performance in this match they showed strong batting performance in both innings. Sri lanka team could not play well in first innings they failed to put pressure on England team from starting of the match and the sequence continued in second innings which causes lost for Sri lanka England team leads 1-0 of the three matches test series

I am very sad to see such decline of Pakistan. Yesterday also I said that the match will be a draw. Because both Bangladesh and Pakistan batted very well in their first innings and completely unexpectedly Bangladesh scored 565 runs in their first innings. None of us expected Bangladeshi batsmen to bat so well.

However, I thought I would see a better performance from the Pakistani batsmen in the second innings as in the first innings. Pakistan scored 448 runs in their first innings losing only 6 wickets. But in the second innings, Pakistan lost all wickets to collect only 146 runs. The Pakistani batsmen could not last long at the crease against the bowling of two Bangladeshi spinners Shakib and Miraz. Miraz took 4 wickets and Sakib 3 wickets.



Pakistan team gave a target of only 30 runs. If the target was 150+ then maybe there was a chance for Pakistan to win. But this possibility is no more in the target of 30 runs. Bangladesh have already collected 22 runs without losing any wicket. Bangladesh need only 8 more runs to win.

[jasonjm]

Exceptional performance from Bangladesh. What a commendable performance from the Bangladesh cricket team, especially their bowlers. At one stage, I thought the match was heading toward a bearing draw, but Bangladesh bowlers and Pakistan's unpredictable cricket proved me wrong. Pakistan bowled out on 146 runs and gave a target of 30 runs to Bangladesh. Bangladesh won the match by 10 wickets. Bangladesh spinners turned the game upside down and they have punched above their weight. Exceptional!. Apart from Rizwan, no other batter looked comfortable against Bangladesh spinners. Some of them played needless shorts. Pakistan hasn't won a single test match at home in the past 3 years and has the worst home record among the test-playing nations. I think PCB have to think about doing something different to take advantage of the home conditions.

[Webetcoins]

Also, what the heck is going on with Babar Azam these days? He has been out of form in the test format for quite a while now.

Mehdi Hasan Miraz break the backbone of Pakistani cricket team, and now they all are stretching this after having historic lost at home against Bangladesh team which was before this series having not good deal, but now they can feel proud as they have massive win against team like Pakistan at Rawalpindi Cricket stadium.

Now Pakistani management can blame themselves for this defeat because they have never done any homework against any team and having results like these against weakest sides their best bowling attack concede 565 runs then their batting lineup fail to give any positive sign on this pitch where we have Bangladesh at full control.

Babar Azam is completely down after losing captaincy even it's good for his career, but he is not coming out of this trauma as we have reports from the Gary Kirsten personal groupings killing this team badly for some time they have to fix this.

[Popkon6]

The players of the Bangladesh team put the pressure on the Pakistan team in the second innings in terms of batting and bowling, and in the end 146 runs were scored by the players of the Pakistan team. But here Shakib Al Hasan and Mehdi Meraj put pressure on the Pakistan team, Shariful Islam in the first innings and Hasan Mahmood in the 2nd innings gave the best bowling performance of these four star players.

 However, the Bangladesh team won the test match by ten wickets, although Pakistan's players managed to score very few runs and lacked patience in this match. Shakib Al Hasan and Mehdi Hasan Miraj were the most feared on the bowling side, but the Tiger batsmen of the Bangladesh team proved to be the best for the Pakistani players.
