I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
Sri Lanka in their second innings condition so far could have a lead of 150 runs at most which would not create any pressure for England. Moreover, if England can bowl Sri Lanka out before the first session of the fourth day's play, then England will be assured of victory by today itself.

Bangladesh is performing very well against Pakistan especially if they could not create much pressure in bowling but when it comes to batting everyone's contribution is commendable. In particular, Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das remain intact on the wicket, so if they can get through the two sessions of the fourth day, the run lead will be taken. However, if both teams are performing exceptionally well in this match, it will be decided by a draw.
Srilanka is leading with 82 runs at this time and today is the fourth day. Srilanka has lost 6 wickets and I think they will make a lead of 150 runs almost. And this will not be a good target. England will chase this target easily and can win match easily.

From Bangladesh. I really appreciate their performance. Like we can see Shadman Islam  is playing well and current partnership of Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim is going well. They are playing really well and if they will continue to play today. And play the whole day so their is surety that this match will be drawn.

Sri Lanka though lost 6 wickets on the third day to build a lead of just 82 runs. If they build a lead of 150, there will be no chance of Sri Lanka winning against England, such a small score, England can easily fill it.

Bangladesh team must be commended for posting such a huge score and their batting performance was outstanding. These three batsmen have batted seriously and still the partnership between the two will definitely take the team to a better level if they start the match today. A total of 132 runs will meet Pakistan's target in today's match, and we can be certain that this match will turn into a draw.

After waiting for many overs finally the captain Shan Masood had decided to give over to Naseem Shah because at that time, Shadman Islam was batting on the 85  runs and to stop his century Shan Masood gave over to Naseem but he was not able to stop him in that over instead of picking wicket Naseem Shah has given 8 runs (2 fours) to him. I think after Naseem Shah, if he had to stop his century Shan Masood had to give over to Shaheen Shah Afridi. However, Muhammad Ali delivered the next over very well and out him on the 93 score.

Yes, it must be accepted that the players of Bangladesh team batted very patiently in this test match. But in my opinion Bangladesh team players need to be more aware for this match. So that Bangladesh team players can become tough against Pakistan. However, the batsmen of the Bangladesh team must be praised in this match. Because the batsmen of the Bangladesh team still managed to hold the first innings game against the team like Pakistan, it is a big success for the Bangladesh team. I saw Pakistan team's first innings score and thought that Bangladesh team will be far behind against Pakistan team. But the players of the Bangladesh team have reduced the gap a lot by breaking everyone's expectations. However, let's see where this match ultimately stands.
Exactly. Bangladesh playing very well like we can see that they have made 316 runs and they lost only 5 wickets. By the way I saw a best thing in the Bangladeshi player which is better than Pakistani players that is team work. All of Bangali players played their own role in the match. But Pakistani players mostly lost their wickets. Only two players played well.
Well today is the fourth day and I am looking that this match is will be drawn. Because If Bangladesh will play the half day. So there will be one and a half day so this will be really difficult to play 2 innings in that time. So definitely this match will be drawn.

England is seeming to have an upper hand here, SL must muster up at least 250+ lead to any chance at winning this game, SL's bowling ain't that good, so their batting must fill the shoes of lack of good bowling, the current batting pair (Chandimal-Kamindu Mendis) must create a big partnership here and not fall shortly after day 4 starts, as it usually goes.

I haven't seen a test match go till day 5 for a good while, hopefully it's this match.



BTW, Bangladesh doing pretty good against best pace attack in the world.  Grin

Sri Lanka ended the third day with a lead of 82 runs, with just 4 wickets remaining. To have any chance of remaining alive in this match, they need to get the lead to at least 150. Not going to be an impossible task, as their lower order is not that bad. On top of that Shoaib Bashir has been disappointing so far in this innings.
Mathews and Kamindu Mendis' partnership tried to turn the match around, but Mathews got out after their partnership when team took 173 runs. Chandimal, Mendis will depend on the pair of these two tomorrow which way the match will go. If they play well in the first session tomorrow I don't think it will be difficult to get 170+ runs, but tomorrow is going to be a very challenging day for Sri Lanka. England bowled with 6 bowlers in the second innings except Bashir all got wickets, but I think England team performance is very satisfied.

Bangladesh vs Pakistan
It's turning into a high scoring match as both team have score high. Pakistan batting first scored 448 at a loss of 6 wickets before they declared the innings in hope of getting Bangladesh wickets quick but instead Bangladesh is batting even better. This scoring at the end of 3rd day might mean a draw is highly probable.

Bangladesh team is trailing the score by 132 runs. To be honest the Bangladesh team has played really impressive. Tomorrow, they could lead the game as well if they would not lose their wickets and playing safe but also they must have to remember the days are less and it is going to end soon. Today was the third day and tomorrow is the second last in which Bangladesh have to finish their innings and this time, the Pakistan team also have to play in batting/ bowling otherwise this match will be drawn and the hard work of Saud Shakeel and Rizwan could be wasted. By the way, Pakistan team got into this match with only pacers, i wonder if they misjudge the pitch  Huh

Sri Lanka is literally fighting an uphill battle right now. Right now Sri Lanka is only leading by 82 and they have only four wickets in hand. So it looks like England might have a pretty generous target to chase. Remember the third day has not been finished yet. Right now Chandimal and Mendis is in the middle. Mendis is on 56. This is probably the last recognized pair for Sri Lanka. After this, not much batting to come.  So England has a very good chance to win this test match. They just have to get Sri Lanka all out quickly.
My guess on the South African team on their batting performance came true that they crossed over 330 run and they took the 358 it's good starting for them but I am seeing that here srilankan Batters are doing good in their second innings they took 204 run in 6 wicket and it is seems that they can make more than 280 run in this match.  But I am looking for the second innings of the South African team.

The biggest regret I have is that Shadman Islam failed to score a century, even though he failed to score a century, I thank him because he gave the best batting performance for the Bangladesh team. Scoring 93 is the most challenging as no other player has performed so patiently.  But I thought Shakib Al Hasan was the best but he failed in a short span of time. And get out and walk off the field but the Bangladesh team is at the most risk, because all the batsmen they have now are basically not attacking batsmen. I think it will never be possible to win with Pakistan team with this performance.

Bangladeshi International test cricket team is low class team and they have to be more strong to win against Pakistan. Pakistani test cricket team is better team than Bangladeshi team. Pakistani test players always stay on the  wicket . Pakistani cricket players always teach many skills to  Bangladeshi players and Pakistani players are legends and Pakistan have big name like Younus Khan and Misba ul Haq which played well and Pakistani team achieved 1st ranking in test format. But now , Pakistani team is not playing like champions but now they are enough strong as comparison to Bangladeshi team.Bangladesh players have pressure because country situation is bad and they can lose their job and they are referenced players and new government will take different steps.

Decent recovery from Sri Lanka at Old Trafford. Angelo Mathews got his half-century, and as a result Sri Lanka has crawled to 125/4. They are leading by 4 runs now, which is good news since it makes sure that England need to bat again. Since today is the third day, I was expecting Shoaib Bashir to have some impact with his bowling. But he has failed to pick any wickets till now. And their strike bowler Joe Root hasn't yet come out to bowl in this innings. Prabath Jayasuriya and Asitha Fernando to come next. Sri Lanka will definitely fancy their chances.

Sri Lanka scored 236 runs in the first innings, leaving England to meet the target. However, England scored 358 runs in their first innings to give Sri Lanka a lead of 122 runs again. However, Sri Lanka is currently batting in the second innings, although England's bowling line is very good in today's match, which is putting Sri Lanka under a lot of pressure at the moment. Moreover, in today's match, the Sri Lankan team is batting disappointingly, their batting performance is not good at all, they have lost four important wickets. On the third day, the Sri Lankan team went into bat and gave away a lead of only 1 run, although their batting performance did not improve much.
England team played brilliant in first innings they scored 358 runs what an inning played by Jamie Smith of 111 runs from Sri lanka side Asitha Fernando takes four wickets while Jayasuriya took three wickets. In second innings Sri lanka team is not playing well they lost their four wickets on 153 runs Angelo Mathews with 65 runs is on the crease their players could not save wickets and the partnership is not looking great. Sri lanka team lost their first 2 wickets  on just 1 run thats why pressure on next batsman from start of the innings they needed to save their wickets and build a big partnership to come back in this match Sri lanka team lead only 36 runs on day 3 going off and six wickets in hand now

This one looks to be heading towards a result. England would want to all out Sri Lanka tomorrow so as to chase the score to win. I don't see much hope for Sri Lanka unless their bowling works like masic on England's 2nd batting.

Sri Lankan start was not good in this test match, but they have done good fightback first restricted England with fair lead and now having good batting specially from Angelo Mathews he is doing impressive job with using his experience lead for the Sri Lanka is 24 which is not enough but as currently both Angelo Mathews and Kamindu Mendis are doing batting we can expect them to stay on crease and try to have good lead before end of days play because this is important part of the test match.

51 runs partnership bring some frustration for the English team as we are having some long meetings on ground for breaking this partnership 26 overs remaining in today's play if we have 60 to 70 more runs with no lost of wicket then we can expect good pressure on England because weather reports are also not good for the last two days in Manchester as well.

I think the Bangladesh teams are making the runs in good style as they are not depending on the fours and sixes means they are not relying on the boundaries, in every ball they are trying to take runs and if one over they hit the boundary then in the next over, they were trying to play safe that was really good and help them to make a partnership.



By the way, I think the real pressure was on the Shadman Islam when he was batting on the 93 runs. He was too nervous at that time to play the balls of Naseem Shah and the other bowlers of Pakistan because for the second time, he was going to create his century in test but failed.

After the wicket of Mominul Haque, Shadman Islam almost lost his wicket but somehow he was not out even the umpire also raised his finger but he took the review even though everyone there thought, it could be wrong even he himself because they all were thinking it was out but that was not.

His partner who was batting with him at that time forced him to take the review then the result was good for the team and after that, he was hitting the shots as well. He was using many balls but still at least he was playing good and in the test match, the runs matter the most and not the strike rate.

Sri Lanka vs England
Sri Lankan team have improved and stabilized a lot this year and we are going to see competitive tournament in Sri Lankan tour of England. Sri Lankan 1st innings was not impressive, Except for Dhananjaya De Silva and Milan Rathnayake, non performed with bat but looking at England's play we can say the pitch is tough to bat. At the late stage of 2nd day, England are 4 down at 187.
The SiriLankan team is mostly perfect decent at their home ground because they have quality spinners, which really suit with that condition while their opponents feel huge trouble while playing in SiriLankan home ground condition But now things have become really shocking because a part of their home ground thier spinner showed his magic here too but still unfortunately home ground experience makes England have the upper hand on them which is why thier bowling lineup is really on top. SiriLankan scored 236 in thier first inning, losing their entire wicket while England now not only chased the required Target but also hoped they would take a handsome lead to push results in thier favor. England loses his 6th wicket too so may be they will hardly score 100 more runs which will be much more than enough to defend.
To me Sri Lanka perform is not that special and impressive.  Yes if we talk about his women, then his performance is good.  And this is Sri Lanka first match against England, so I would prefer England to be the best.  That's why I don't think Sri Lankan batsmen are better.  Their batsmen have enough pace and strength to give the target a hard time.  On the other hand, England batsmen have scored 358 runs.  Sri Lanka are playing their second innings.  Their batsmen still have a chance to make their pace quick and strong enough to win this match.  If they fail to do so, England have a chance to win the match.  And my prediction says the same.  And in the second innings, the Sri Lanka batsmen also lost 2 wickets in 3 overs and scored 10 runs.  England will win this match.

Sri Lanka could not bat well in their first innings. The pitch was not bowling friendly. Sri Lanka's innings stopped at 236 runs. Collecting 300+ would make the match more competitive. Moreover, if the Sri Lankan bowlers had performed well, the match would have been more exciting. England managed to take a big lead of 122 runs in the first innings. Although England's innings stopped short of 300, Sri Lanka had a chance to perform well in the second innings and try to win the match.

Sri Lankan batsmen are not performing well in the second innings either. Sri Lanka lost four wickets to collect only 95 runs. Experienced batsmen like Dinesh Chandimal are out of the crease due to retired hurt. I would say it is difficult for Sri Lanka to score even 220 runs now. Now Sri Lanka's collection is 123 runs. Sri Lanka team managed to take a lead of only 1 run. Sri Lanka may not be able to set a target of more than 100 runs. It is not difficult for England to win the target of 100 runs. But if Sri Lanka can provide a target of 200+ runs then the match will surely be competitive again. But the probability of this is very low.
