As expected pitch started to give turns, and after initial loss now this partnership is very important for Sri Lanka as lead above  250+ will be secure for them to win this test or atleast draw it, Australia bowlers are trying fully to control this test match as they wanted to restrict SL below 200 runs. Now at the present stage all three options are clear , but i think Australia will win or atleast try to draw it.

Sri Lanka is leading by 288 runs in the second innings with two wickets remaining and now left only tale enders so I don't expect many runs tomorrow from these two wickets. They may add another 20 odd runs to the total and 300 plus runs will be a good score to restrict Australia. If pitch already supporting spin bowling then surely this match also SL will win.
It is going to be very tough day for Australia in the final day of this test match. I guess they will be set with the target of 300+  which must be a mammoth total when considering against Sri Lanka was spin attack. An easy win down under for Sri Lanka.

The current partnership between Dinesh Chandimal and Kaushal Silva will be very crucial for Sri Lanka and this partnership may decide this test match. Sri Lanka is still leading with less than 200 runs. They must at least need 250+ runs to defend Australia.

Shaun Marsh will be the key for Australia's chances to win or to draw this match. But Sri Lanka's spin attack will enforce this test match towards a result for sure.

Mitchell is bowling well at the moment and just dismissed Mendis for 18. Australia need a few more quick wickets and put Sri Lanka under pressure and try and bowl them out for under 200. Anything over this and it will be a tough ask for Australia to win the test match and I know Australia don't want to loose the series 3-0 so they will do everything they can not to loose and try and win the match. I actually think Australia can win this test match.

Srilanka does need a heroic batting performance from Mathews or any other batsman to make things interesting here, Lankan's must realize that hanging around is not going to fetch any dividends as you can get out any ball on this track, it's best to play positive strokes and try to score as many as quickly as possible. This is where Australia lost out yesterday being way too defensive and simply unwilling to try and play a few big shots and even the tail tried blocking like they believed that they could bat for 100 overs doing so  Grin

Rangana Herath's magic hands has taken six wickets which folded the Aussie batting line up pretty soon.by the close of play on the third day, it was impossible to say which team had the upper hand. if Srilanka could put a target of just over 250 runs on the board,i am sure the spinners will give the Aussie a very hard time in the fourth innings,the fate of the match all depends upon how Srilanka is going to bat today Smiley

Australia would be wondering how that turnaround happened. When that second wicket partnership was going strong, they would have thought that there was no way that Sri Lanka would gain the upper hand.

This match is going in the way of a first test match. Becuase in first test match also Australia was in good position in the first day and later on slowly SL take the control of a match. This match also may end in the same way if Australia doesn't control SL batsman in the second innings. SL has to put up at least 250 runs to defend the score. Hopefully, SL will bat well in this second innings.

I never expected that after great start Austrailia will collapse like this. just within 100 runs 9 wickets fell. Yup, this match is moving like a first test match. Now Sri Lanka 34/1. I think this game will not end with a draw. But SL has a chance to win this game. End of the day we will get a clear picture of this match.

Australia were in a very strong position to pile on the runs and even take a big lead in the match but what a great fight back from Sri Lanka. I still think Mitchell Starc is the key to Australia's bowling attack. He is now starting to get the ball to swing which can be very hard to play,if he can get a few quick wickets on day 4 then Australia have a big chance at winning this test match but Australia need to get them all out for under 200 runs for them to have any chance at winning.

AFter a good partnership other players were not able to cope up and in the mid the pitch also started to give turns and Australia again got all out against spinner taking 6 wickets and srilanka also lost 1 wicket in the first over, so i think tomorrow we can see lot of turns as the pitch is turning and it is helping the spinners.

Australia came on front position now, it is clear now that pitch is very good for batsmen. Australia has chances to win this matches there are couple days to go. It is becoming more interesting match like England and Pakistan where in 2nd inning situation took a dramatic turn and Pakistan won tremendously. Great cricket is going on in test matches these days.
Austrailia doesn't have a chance to lose this game I agree, But I am not sure that AUS will win this match Because now the pitch is supporting to Batsman. I think AUS will play full day. Tomorrow SL will get a chance to BAT, and they are also strong in Batting side. So I think this match may end with Draw.

Surprise Surprise.. Paksitan just need 40 runs to win this test match,what a brilliant performance yet again in this Test match by the pakistan. Yasir Shah taking 5 wickets and Wahad Riaz bowling really well and picking up two wickets.

Australia fighting back in the match. thought it was a horrible batting pitch,but now it has turned out to be the mental hindrance Smiley hope it will be a draw,or Srilanka has to produce some extra ordinary bowling from Rengana Herath

Pakistan has produced some excellent performance in this test match. Since from the begging they were dominating this match and they deserve to win the match.

Australia is trailing by 214 runs and still they got 9 wickets in the 1st innings. This the best start for Australia in this test series, they should make use of this good start put big total. SL may come back very hard today with good spin bowling, Australia need to build a runs slowly.

Pakistan has managed to draw the test series with this fantastic win. They started series with a big win and also ended series with a big win. Superb bowling performance from Pakistan bowlers in the second innings which made their win easy.

Australia got a good start but they also need to finish in good because in the first test also they were in good position to win the match after first innings but they failed very badly in second innings.

Today Australia started innings very well, and both Marsh and Smith reached already 100 runs mark. Today they didn't lose any wickets yet, and now a shortage of another 126 runs to reach SL total. It looks like they may try to win this match by quite a significant margin. SL is struggling to take wickets both well settled batsman.

I agree Australia has started very well today and congrats to Smith and S. Marsh on there 100 runs each. Australia will now be looking at batting all day and building a lead of at least 200+ runs before even thinking about declaring as they don't want to bat last on this pitch so if they can get a big lead then I think they will win the match. And not with spin but with Starc as he is in fine form with the ball and i can see him taking a bag of wickets. There is still plenty of time in this test match as it is only the start of day 3, this is the Australia team I am used too.

Australia is moving consistently classical batting performance from Shaun Marsh and Steven Smith tons of both helped them very well, now this test is moving to draw if Australia will get succeed to take lead of 100+ runs than it would be wonderful to make it decisive easily.

Pakistani team doing hard efforts to get it very close to make this match easy for it to win, England still trail by 20 runs and it 6 wickets at the moment and that is very good benefit which is taken by Pakistani bowlers into this test match, now Pakistan has very strong grip on this match and it looking it will win this match.

Predicting to see the push-ups of Pakistani team after the win... Thanks to Younus Khan for taking the score high to the sky. Wanted the inning defeat but still a simple win is pretty good too, specially against England and in England.

A ten wicket victory is nothing to be scoffed at.
Especially after they were trailing in the series.
Pakistan will now be relieved that they have drawn level in this series.
