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.

If Bangladesh can spend two sessions on the fourth day tomorrow with Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Kumar Das, then I can say for sure that this match will be a draw. Batting friendly pitches basically have very low chances of losing wickets which we have assumed a lot from the style of Pakistani and Bangladeshi batsmen. Except for Shakib and Zakir Hasan, every batsman has scored a half century so it is easy to understand that the wicket is a complete batting aid.

Yes, currently the Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh is more likely to be a draw as the two teams have scored runs. On the third day, Bangladesh team batsmen have batted well due to which they are playing well to meet the target given by Pakistan even though they have lost 5 wickets at the moment. If they meet the Pakistan team's target on the fourth day, this match will definitely be a draw, and the current style of the Bangladeshi batsmen looks like they will be able to meet the target. Yes currently Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim are batting they both have half centuries they will form a great partnership to score centuries.

Due to lost of first days play and also having Pakistani bowling not as par their standard Bangladeshi team having good chance of ending their first game as draw because currently they are having 316 with the lost of 5 wickets Mushi is still on crease, and he can stay for as much his team is needed Litton Das having good batting with quick fifty for him things are good for them in this game after long time having troubling performance.

Tomorrow we will be having fourth day of this test match and still first inning in progress mean no chance of quick wickets and having any chance of result but in case of quick wickets and bazball from Pakistani team we can expect some drama in last day of the game because Pakistani team is famous for their tricks and having some entertainment for the fans.

LOL.. the procession has started at Old Trafford. Sri Lanka at 57/3, with pacers taking all the wickets to fall so far. Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson and Mark Wood have taken one wicket apiece. And Lankans are still trailing by 65 runs. Trust me, avoiding an innings defeat is going to be difficult for them. Dhananjaya de Silva and Milan Rathnayake are not going to rescue them everytime. 56 overs remain in today's play and there is a good chance that England bowlers will wrap up the match by end of the day today.

We are currently in second session of third days play with Sri Lanka is still trailing by 27 runs and lost 4 batsmen with Chandimal is retired to hurt most chances he is not coming back for the batting with this all situation is clearly indicating we are going to have early ended of this match with good win for the England which is going to have fourth consecutive win in test matches at the home.

Veteran Angelo Mathews and newbie Kamindu Mendis at the crease for the survival of their team but English bowlers are having good success in taking of wickets all bowlers are having good time Shoaib Bashir is having some punishment but still he is trying his best for having something from this pitch weather forecast is not good for the next few days, so England is trying to have early ended of this game today.

Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam really give a good start to his team by almost scoring his Century but unfortunately unable to complete his century and young guy from Pakistan Muhammad Ali dismissed his important wicket which really hold on from long time and continuously adding his vital contribution to Bangladesh total while rest of batter add a bit contribution but not hold it long. Now the most important and set batter has been departure and Bangladesh just scored 218 with loss of his four wicket. Let see how can new batter mange things and build another handsome partnership which really eliminate the huge gap from required total for them. Anyway I still believe Pakistan will get them very shortly if they continue such hard length.

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.

However, at present, experienced Mushfiqur Rahim and Bangladesh wicketkeeper batsman Liton Kumar Das are at the crease for the Bangladesh team. Both of them are trying to bat responsibly for Bangladesh and already they have both completed half-centuries. Moreover, Bangladesh will depend a lot on this pair because if these two are out, then there is no educated batsman in the Bangladesh squad.

Shadman Islam is nearing his century, and he is batting on 93. The partnership between Shadman and Mominul Haque rescued Bangladesh. And this is exactly why I was saying that declaring at 446 was an illogical decision from the Pakistan captain. Now in all probability Bangladesh will avoid follow on, and there is a good chance that they will get the first innings lead as well. All of a sudden, the much feared pace duo of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah is looking quite ordinary. Spinners are doing a poor job as well.

Sadman Islam narrowly missed out on another century in his Test career. Bangladesh are batting their first innings today on the third day of the first Test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan. Right now Bangladesh are in a good position as they have already collected 316 runs for 5 wickets. Bangladesh team has five wickets in hand to overcome 132 more runs. When the Bangladesh team was in a disaster, Sadman Islam and Mominul Haque formed a strong pair by handling that situation. 94 runs came from the pair of them which was a relief for Bangladesh.

However, at present, experienced Mushfiqur Rahim and Bangladesh wicketkeeper batsman Liton Kumar Das are at the crease for the Bangladesh team. Both of them are trying to bat responsibly for Bangladesh and already they have both completed half-centuries.

Jamie Smith rescues England once more. They were reduced to 187/5, but now they have crawled to 358. Smith stood rock solid at one end, and he got good amount of support from the lower order batsmen (Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Matthew Potts and Mark Wood). At this point Poms are leading by 122 runs, and if they can get the Lankans out for 200 or so in the second innings then it will be a just another easy test win for them. Asitha Fernando picked up 4 wickets for Lanka, but he was expensive.

Both Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque have fallen. I think in Rawalpindi, the batting conditions are very much favored. Shadman got out after scoring 93 and Mominul Haque got out after scoring 50 runs. Currently, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan are on the crease. Most probably another draw is awaiting.

I don’t think the choice of declaring was a bad idea. Pakistan relied on the bad Bangladeshi batting form. They thought that they could get them out early and hoped for a chance to follow on. But as I have said, the condition is heavily favoring the batters. Previously, I thought only Mushfiqur Rahim would be the only one from Bangladesh team to get a decent score. But they have turned that around and proved me wrong which I am happy about. It is sad to see Shadman Islam miss his century though. Mehidy Miraz and Liton Das are yet to bat, but I don’t think Bangladesh will be able to get a lead in the first innings. Either way, I think this game would be a draw.

The match situation changed all of a sudden. Bangladesh was at 199/3, but then they lost two quick wickets - those of Shadman Islam and Shakib Al Hasan. Now they are 219/5. But the good news for them is that two of their most experienced batsmen are at the crease - Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das. Mehidy Hasan Miraz is to come next, and he can bat a bit as well. Khurram Shahzad has been good so far from the Pakistani side, but Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah have been disappointing.

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.

In the first innings of the first Test match against Bangladesh, Pakistan did not start well but they finished brilliantly. Pakistan's batting initially looked like they might be all out between 250 and 300 runs but the way the Pakistani batsmen batted responsibly later on was undoubtedly admirable. Pakistan declared the innings by scoring 448 runs while Md Rizwan was unbeaten on 170 runs. Bangladesh went into bat late on the second day but the good news for Bangladesh is that they haven't lost any wickets so far. If the opening pair can score 150+ runs then the middle order batsmen will be able to provide a good run support which will help Bangladesh get close to the runs Pakistan scored in the first innings.

Bangladesh team Shadman Islam is a very patient batsman as he entered the field as the first opener, and he gave a full performance in this first innings today. And collected 93 runs from 177 balls with a long patient batting performance. And the century is stuck for just a few runs, but he is now batting patiently to score a century.
Mushfiqur Rahim took over the bat after Mominul Hoque got out and has been fine in the field so far. But if Shadman can create a partnership with Islam then there will definitely be a chance for the Bangladesh team to win. Because only 253 runs are needed then the Bangladesh team can win the first series.

Pakistan team not looking fully united in this bowling spell. They are not using their reviews in the good way, as we can see they lost their 2 reviews that they got in the bowling.

Till 56 overs, Pakistan was losing their reviews. By the way, when ever the Pakistan took review then there was not all players were saying to take it or were fully align on it as a team. Only the player who are on the leg side appeal for it and Shan Masood always take review.

Also, when the Bangladesh team used their review then they knew it is not out, wickets were missing they could understand it. As we have seen on the first ball of 54 over that was did by Salman Ali Agha.

I watched the live broadcast of the first one day test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan. Bangladesh's bowling line-up was very aggressive till the first 16 overs, after that they could not bowl very aggressively against the Pakistani batsmen... heights today.

Bangladesh's fast bowlers did exceptionally well in the first hour of the play because of the grass and dampness of the pitch. They took 3 early wickets, but after the first hour balls came to the bat nicely and Pakistan batters took great advantage of the conditions. The pitch is perfect for batting and is way too flat to induce a result. I think this test match series will end up in a draw until we see some heroics from the bowlers.

The target for the Bangladesh team is a huge one but so far so good for them. Scoring 111 runs and losing only two wickets is not a bad start at all. Other teams may have panic lost many wickets because of the pressure of 400+ runs by the other team but Bangladesh batsmen showing a good deal of resistance to the Pakistan bowlers.
The opener from Bangladesh, Shadman Islam , is batting on 48 and will get his 50 soon. Bangladesh would want him to score a big 100 and make life easy for their team. Zakir Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto were out early Mominul Haque is looking good at 31 runs. The big question is how close the Bangladesh team reaches the Pakistan first innings total.

Right now Bangladesh team is in a very good position. To be honest, I have not seen such responsible batting from Bangladeshi batsmen for a long time. At the moment, Bangladesh has collected 134 runs with the loss of only 2 wickets. Bangladesh lost their first two wickets very quickly. Shanto added only 16 runs and Zakir only 12 runs on the scoreboard. Zakir's strike rate was only 20. But his innings did not last long.

Bangladesh mustered 134 in 48 overs by lunch break. Shadman Islam collected 53 runs from 123 balls and Muminul Haque collected 45 runs from 66 balls unbeaten. The Pakistan captain has used only 5 of his bowlers so far. But no bowler is able to take advantage today.

Bangladesh still need to collect 314 runs. I am not sure if Bangladesh can collect big if the Shadman-Muminul pair is broken. We have seen many times that the top order of Bangladesh has batted well but the performance of the middle order players has been very poor.

England vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test already started. Sri Lanka won the toss and they opted to Bat, they made 236-10 runs in 1st inngins where they had lost 3 wickets at 6-3 runs but they tried to move on and keep giving their effort to go ahead. Milan Priyanath(72) and Dhananjaya de Silva(74) showered legendary performance finally and help their team to develop their score, to set a decent Target for opponent. Although 236 run isn't a good target when it comes to test match but i must say, they did their best when rest of players out with lower runs. Shoaib Bashir and Chris Woakes got 3 wickets each. Besides england already started batting and till now they made 259-6 runs in 1st inngins.Ollie Pope(6) can't able to score something big, a decent score done by Joe Root(42), but Harry Brook(56) did half century, so for Jamie Smith(*72), even he is still on the Field. Hope england will score good amount of runs maybe 320runs+ in this 1st inngins.

I will agree with you. It was really quick all out by the Sri Lankan team. I was expected to at least the 300 run from the Sri Lankan team in this test series. Their openers batsmen are fully failed to do perform and Angelo Methews made golden duck in test series this is really shame for the Sri Lankan team.
And the performance from the England is going good they will definitely cross the 320 runs and also win this series as well.

There is no clear winer for the Manchester test as yet because if Sri Lanka team was out early at 236 runs, the England team response was not that good too. When the 2nd day ended, they were 259 runs with 6 wickets down. Jamie Smith is playing at 72 runs but he is running short of partners at the other end. The Match may tilt towards England if he and remaining England batsmen get a good lead. If they are out early, the match will be in level mode.

Pakistan declared their inning at 348 runs by losing 6 wickets only. Muhammad Rizwan is playing at 171 runs very close to double century, but Captain decided to declare the inning. Bangladesh lost their first wicket at a score of 31 runs. Zakir Hassan was out after scoring 12 runs by the bowl of Naseem Shah. Bangladesh current score is 46 runs by lossing only single wicket. Shadman Islam is set on crease, played a lot of deliverie and is currently batting at 17 runs, and Najmul Hossain Shanto Captain of the Bangladesh team is also playing well at 11 runs. Now Bangladesh trail by more than 400 runs. I think this pitch is batting and didn't helped for bowlers so test match might be drwan.

Pakistani batsmen have done their duty properly. Pakistani batsmen have done a good batting. The team lost three wickets for just 16 runs. However, due to the performances of Shakeel, Rizwan and Saim Ayub, Pakistan team scored 448 runs with the loss of only 6 wickets. This is a huge score considering the pitch. On the other hand Bangladeshi batsmen are not experienced in Test format. So it's a big score for Bangladesh too.

As usual we are not seeing good batting from the Bangladeshi batsmen. Although I did not expect to see good batting from Bangladeshi batsmen. Bangladesh team has already lost two wickets of Zakir and Captain Shanto. Shadman 26 and Mominul 7 runs unbeaten Bangladesh collect 67/2. Bangladesh team is still behind by a big gap of 381 runs.
