You heard it here first
Sarfraz and co. need to survive for another 12-15 overs
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
27 overs left and lead of 94 runs. Two overs for the change over. If Pakistan can bat another 12 overs and take the lead to around 120, it will be interesting.
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
50 by Sarfraz, well played. 
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
Sarfraz 2nd fifty of the game

178/9
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
Pak 180 all out
SL need 99 to win. Should be easy as they will have 21 overs to get it.
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
Why single 
3.59 pm Sarfraz remains stuck at the other end.. That single off the first ball was a grave error there but he was only delaying the inevitable. Superb effort from The Rangana who takes another six-for.. Absolutely amazing bowling considering nothing has happened on this pitch. Sri Lanka need 99 runs in 21 overs
Chathuranga: “If SL need to chase, Silva should not come as opener. Mahela and Tharanga would be finest combination.”
Uzair: “That was a rare blunder from Sarfaraz in this innings by taking the single on the first ball.”
80.2
Herath to Junaid Khan, OUT, that’s over! The umpire raises the finger! It’s the arm ball and the batsman plays inside the line.. that has hit him right in front of the middle stump. Junaid asks for areview but there is not much in that except some hope. No edge. It’s hitting leg stump. It’s game over.
Junaid Khan lbw b Herath 0 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Five balls left for Junaid
80.1
Herath to Sarfraz Ahmed,** 1 run, **he drags it fine with a sweep and wants a couple, but the fine leg fielder keeps them to a single

Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
Pak should open bowling with Ajmal and Rehman.
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
keep 9 fielder on the off and 
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
I don’t think so it will work. They will get boundaries very easily.
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
Missing two W’s who made England’s life miserable when they were chasing 120 or 125 score ! and they ended draw with loss of 8 wickets.
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
99 in 21 overs looks easy but this is test cricket, not an ODI so you can bowl a negative line i.e. there is no penalty or wide for bowling down leg side
early wickets will help
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
Mahela is walking out to open the innings
Chathuranga: “If SL need to chase, Silva should not come as opener. Mahela and Tharanga would be finest combination.”
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
Experienced Waqar is also there, lets see their strategy
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
Are you talking with them ?
0.1
Saeed Ajmal to Tharanga, FOUR
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
I think they should go with pacers and keep most of the fielders are on or off side and do almost wide balls. Pakistan spinners can’t do any thing especially Ajmal under pressure unable to do any thing.
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
Ya Allah Barish lay aa 
The field is spread, the idea is to slow them down
NO PLEASE NO.. grounstaff are moving about..
Re: Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 1st Test, Galle
please give ball to pacers with a long long run up and discussion 
A big lump of a cloud is moving in towards the ground
