Today Sri Lanka played well. Both mahela and thilan could make centuries. 406/3 in first day, I hope sri lanka will score 600+ tomorrow.

 

wow 406 for 3, it's a really really good first day score and they hit more than 50 awesome boundaries.

 

Sri Lankans are back on track.......

 

yes, I'm sure Sri Lanka will win this series as ODI win.

 

Me too. Let's see whether they can end up it on a winning note.

 

It's Mahela's last test series as the captain, he batted pretty well today, with today's century now he has scored centuries against all Test playing nations as a captain. Well Done Mahela!!!

Total (3 wickets; 90 overs) 406

 

Well tour was already started from yesterday and Sri Lanka started well as Jayawardene and Samaraweera both scored century and both are playing so we can hoping 600+ runs in first innings.

 

Sri Lanka 436/3 (103.0 ov)
It seems they will score 700+ within today, Dilshan is awaiting show another century

 

Yes but I think they will declare their innings today before 20-30 overs to go so I guess 600+ runs would be enough for them to not losing the match.

 

well now it's 600+ runs with two fine double hundreds by Mahela and Thilan. Pakistan got hard time ahead, lets see how the Sri Lankan bowlers gonna handle the Pakistanis.

 

Well Sri Lanka played well and put huge score and make sure they can't lost the match from here. Jayawardene and Samaraweera scored double hundreds. Let's see how Pakistan reply,

Sri Lanka 644/7d
Pakistan 19/0 (6.2 ov)

 

PAK 44/1 , By considering tomorrow result, we can tell what will happen to this match!

 

Well tomorrow would be big day and I think it will decide the results of the match as if Pakistan fail to score then surly go for innings loss!

 

Let's hope for tomorrow...

 

Yes tomorrow is the big day.

 

Nothing for bowlers,so like like it will be Draw,

 

its a big game lets see what happen
