Sri Lanka v Pakistan, 2nd Test, Colombo, July 12-16

Pakistan bowled out for 90 in the first dig.

Gul strikes back for Pakistan!

Obviously not playing in Cardiff.

Bravo Red.

typical rubbish Pakistani effort

Aye, they really aren't doing themselves any favours in the build up to a home and away series with Aus.

If you get bowled by Kulasekara, then you deserve everything you get.

Pakistan are back to there best :p.

I think they never lost a series in Srilanka before but from last 4 or 5 years we broke so many records like this so this is going to be another one.

lead of 150, but pak 39 for no loss. could be interesting

Until there was a fightback, I was going to say "Who do Pak think they are, England?".

Oh well. I'm sure there'll be other opportunities.

I said several months ago that Fawad Alam would be a star for Pakistan. PP said no way, and that some bloke who's nowhere near the test team is more talented......

Is there something wrong with the pitch or did both sides bat like millionaires in the first innings?

Fawad Played well i saw him playing few times and i was not impressed at all and my 1st impression was he is more of a bowler than a batsman :p.

He played very well and really impressed by the way he played spinners.

Pitch is eased out now and pakistan should give atleast 280 Runs target to srilanka.

There is enough time in the match thanks to the p!sspoor first innings batting by both sides. Nothing less than 400 should be the mark! There is enough time to go for it!

incredible match. seems to be dominated by collapses with the odd batsman getting a score. 171 to win the series. could be quite tricky for the lankans

Pak back to their mercurial best.

From 1/285 to 320 all out.

SL set 171 to win, got to be tricky one for them.

Must have got better odds this time.

Even after leaving aside '08 when Pak didn't play a single test, when was the last time Pak actually won a test match?

jan 2007 vs sa at PE

So its more than 30 months since they last won a test.

Thats incredible.

since the england tour in 2006 they have won 3 of their 19 test matches. they won 2 out of 3 against the windies, so thats 1 out of 16 against the rest. this must surely be the worst period for the pakistani test team since they started playing tests

Great start for SL, 23 runs already on board.

In euphoria of their Twenty20 win, they might tend to forget they've not been much better than WI in last few years.

WTF? Pak lost 9/35. Isn't that taking the piss even for them?

Maybe they thought they had enough for a t20 win?

SL may just finish it off today itself.
