100 for Javed Omar.
This match is going for a straight draw, I don't see any of the 2 sides being bowled out twice.

hold on to ur horses. we still have today and 3 more days. who knows, pakistan MIGHT [exception] pull a MIRACLE and lose the match :~)
End of over 105 (3 runs) Bangladesh 269/2
Danish Kaneria 26-8-70-0 - College End
Mohammad Ashraful 48* (127b 5x4) Javed Omar 107* (326b 16x4)
Either Pakistan bowling looks really weak or Bangladesh players are playing with confidence. They have done their home work, Bangladesh still have Rajin Saleh, Alok Kapali, Khaled Mashud, Khaled Mahmud, who are waiting for their turn.
If Pakistan is unable to break this partnership bangle can score close to 500 easily. In order to attempt to draw or win this match Pakistan must attack, improve bowling, make bengla player play risky shots.
I wonder what Miandad is thinking right? It is amazing to see the team which has lost 21 test matches out of 22 is playing with so much confidence. We need miracle, Pakistan must not let Bangladesh score more then 400 hundred, and if they did I think we will lose this match. Pakistani player can't perform well under pressure and I really don't expect much from Hafeez & Taufeeq.

Its a mixture of both...Bangali batsmen are playing with confidence and the bowling also is very weak. Shoiab Akhtar has been good, but not dangerous and the less said about others the better. I think Danish has really let the team down as he is the only quality spinner. Hafeez and Malik are both ODI bowlers, they don't give away a lot of runs, but in test cricket, they dont take many wickets either and thats what Pakistan needs right now.
At Lunch: Bangladesh is 302/2
Batsmen: R B 4s 6s S/R
Javed Omar (RHB) 118 351 17 0 33.62
Mohammad Ashraful (RHB) 70 186 7 0 37.63
This is getting worse and worse for Pakistan. Bangali batsmen are showing a lot of courage and patience out there.

Bangladesh no doubt will score over 400+ runs, now the challenge for Pakistani team is try to win or draw this match. I don't know if it will be possible for Pakistan because the batting line up is very weak, Our openers usually don't perform well under-pressure and I really don't expect much from them. I think it is up to Yasir, YoYo and Inzi bhai to show some magic.
This match should be do or die for Pakistani openers, their performance in this match should be 100% and if they don't then PCB should find their replacement as soon as possible. (Imran Farhat, Salman butt, Imran Nazir, Farhad Adil).
I don't understand why they have 2 ODI bowlers in the test match, I can understand Hafeez because he is an Open but Shoaib Malik. ???
I don't think Danish can do much at this stage, pitch is dead and it will only help batsmen, let's hope Taufeeq & Hafeez can make 100+ on this pitch. :)
For the 3rd match, I think PCB should move Yasir to #2 slot and bring Imran Farhat or Salman Butt @ #1. But it took Pakistan quit some time to find someone who can play @ #3 slots. I don't know if Saeed bin Nazir can fill #1 or #2 but we must find someone. It all depends on what PCB wants to do with the chronic problem of opening pair. If Yasir is moved up to #2 then Mishbah or Saeed bin Nazir must fill in #3 slots.
At this rate BD seems to be heading for 550/600 runs. It will provide a very stiff challenge for the Pakistani batsmen.
121.4 Shoaib Akhtar to Javed Omar, OUT: Gone! good fast swinging full toss, Javed Omar tries to drive it, beaten between bat and pad, ball hit the legstump, a great innings comes to an end
Now it is perfect time to put more presure on Bengla team... Danish must take some wickets now.
Finally, Shoaib gives us a break...but he needs support from the rest of the bowlers...
3 wickets in 10 balls, two to Shoaib and one to Kaneria. The ball is reverse swinging now and BD are finding it difficult to play it.
Another one gone to the reverse swing of Shoaib. BD now 315/6 from 302 /2.
Shoaib on fire.
finally some good news for Pakistan :D

'They' say that during the lunch break Middan Bhai was seen with the ball in in one hand, and PEPSI ki bottle ka dhakaan in the other.
