Yeh Pakistani batting order were terribly departure at thier first innings on a very low target unexpectedly in such situation where south African at a same time scored several centuries but they failed which lead the results to follow on, and to be honest saim absence really suck no doubt he has failed to deliver some good number in his recent innings, but the momentum and form he carrying on can really help Pakistan to Atleast push their opponent abit down.

Well now pakistan are looking in good touch because they scored more than 150 partnership and now it's look like may be we will have some good innings from them. Baber and Shan were trying thier best to scored their centuries and trying thier best to give a good start to his team

Pakistan batting well in second innings but they have a long way to go. Still 208 runs to be scored to give target to South Africa team and remember Pakistan has no Saim Ayub for this test. Shan Masood finally scored some runs his side but the job is not over yet, he need to continue playing like that on day 4 and try to score double century like Ryan Rickelton. Six South Africans bowlers were used in second innings but only Marco Jansen was able to pick a single wicket.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹

Compared to the first innings, Pakistan team has been able to strengthen their batting performance a lot in the second innings. South Africa failed to meet the target given in the first innings but Pakistan is batting well in the second innings. Shan Masood, as a captain of the team, has batted exceptionally well and his brilliant century is currently 102 runs. Moreover, Babur Azam has scored 81 runs and his batting performance was good but unfortunately he got out. However, if Pakistan team wants to maintain their dominance then they will definitely have to play well in today's match. If Pakistan team wants to score 208 runs then they will be able to meet the target of South Africa, and if they want to win then Pakistan team must be at its best in bowling and batting.

Maintain Social Distance, Stay safe.

The first innings of Pakistan is 194 runs which is so poor for the targeted runs. They already a huge runs. For that Pakistan started their 2nd innings. Shan Masood is on the field right now. He collects 102 from 166 balls. Babor Azam gave the perfect company to Shan Masood. he collected 81 runs from 124 balls. But unfortunately, he lost his wicket. Pakistan trail by 208 runs. If Pakistan fulfills there trail runs then it also gives the lead to South Africa with 300+ runs then they will fight South Africa.Best of luck South Africa.

Practically nothing can be said about Pakistan because in the first innings only 197 runs were all out and the follow on could not be avoided whereas in the second innings Pakistan managed to make a partnership of 205 runs. But sadly Pakistan's first wicket fell and Babar Azam was out for a team-high 205 and a personal 81. There were only 6 overs left in today's third day but Babar Azam's dismissal at this last time is really bad. Hopefully, Pakistan can collect 215 runs on the fourth day and give a run lead. But we as supporters expect Pakistan to draw this match.

I don't understand how a team's performance can be so erratic. The team that couldn't score 200 in the first innings scored 205 runs from the opening pair in the second innings. The Pakistani batsmen proved that they have the ability to bat well. They have the ability to play well even against strong bowlers. But their performance is very erratic.

Pakistan's total at the end of the third day is 213/1. However, Pakistan is still trailing by a huge margin of 208 runs. Pakistan has the ability to take a decent lead. But I doubt whether they will be able to. There is also a possibility that Pakistan will face a batting disaster in the first session of the next day. However, I hope Pakistan will be able to bat well tomorrow. Then the match is likely to be competitive. However, if Pakistan can take a big lead, the match is more likely to be drawn.

I was looking at the test bowling averages for Indian bowlers:

Jasprit Bumrah: 19.42
Mohammed Siraj: 30.87
Prasidh Krishna: 26.00
Mohammed Shami: 27.71
Shardul Thakur: 28.38
Ravindra Jadeja: 24.10
Ravichandran Ashwin: 24.00
Washington Sundar: 25.20
Mukesh Kumar: 25.57

Out of these bowlers, Siraj is the only one with a >30 average. I am not sure how he is able to find an automatic spot in the playing XI every time. Perhaps close relations with Kohli and Rohit helps.

Maybe back home Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can be held accountable for the air of inclusion in Mohammad Siraj's squad. A bowler must be held accountable for scoring runs at an economic rate of over 30 which does not reflect the bowling power and skill of a bowler. Today's match is a definite loss and Australia will win if they can add 25 runs in the conditions of the Test so far. Not only will India's bowlers be held accountable for their bowling, but some of the senior players, including Virat Kohli, will also be held accountable for their batting.

One thing is true that India's batsmen have played worst compared to India's bowlers, especially the senior players of their team. At the moment, India's senior players, i.e. the senior batsmen of their team, are not playing well. Despite having so many of India's best batsmen, only one batsman from their team scored a half-century. If Rishabh Pant had not scored 61 runs, India might have been all out for a much lower runs. The way Australian batsmen performed against India, I think Indian batsmen should learn from Australian batsmen how to bat well. We saw that in today's match too, the Australian cricket team won the Test match against India, meaning they won the fifth Test match against India.

In this prestigious Test series against Australia, India won only the first match while Australia won the remaining three matches although one match of the series was drawn. We have seen quite a lot of excitement throughout the series. Since the two parties were almost equal in terms of strength, neither side spoke at all.
Indian bowlers showed aggression towards Australian batsmen in second innings Australia bowlers again showed aggression towards Indian batsmen which made this series more interesting. But if India could have won the fifth test match then this series would have been a draw but it was not like that.

~Talking about Pakistan, they did worse where South Africa were bowled out for 615 runs while Pakistan lost 6 wickets for 155 runs.

Pakistan is a team whose players' performance is impossible to predict. South Africa managed to collect a total of 615 runs in their first innings. This is a big collection on this pitch. And I could not even imagine that South Africa will collect so much. Pakistani bowlers could not take any advantage in their first innings.

In the first innings, we saw very bad batting from Pakistani batsmen. Pakistan lost all their wickets for just 194 runs. The top order players played very badly. Babar Azam and Rizwan batted a little better. Otherwise, Pakistan might not have collected even 100 runs.

But the interesting thing is that Pakistan collected 199 runs in the second innings and have not lost a single wicket yet. Shan Masood is unbeaten on 98 runs and Babar Azam is unbeaten on 79 runs. The match is likely to be competitive.

Practically nothing can be said about Pakistan because in the first innings only 197 runs were all out and the follow on could not be avoided whereas in the second innings Pakistan managed to make a partnership of 205 runs.

But we as supporters expect Pakistan to draw this match.

Pakistani cricket is having nature of unpredictable but still we have one accept one thing in last few years we have huge downfall into their performance which is surely big concern for them and their fans.
Batsmen were always without good technique and patience, but now bowlers are also having poor run in last few years which bring them badly down hopefully we will have some improvement in near future even I am not positive about this due to poor management in PCB.

However, the performance of each of Pakistan's batsmen is very erratic. I will not be surprised if Pakistan loses all its wickets before 200, even if Pakistan collects 400+, it will not be surprising. It is impossible to give a prediction about the batting of this team's batsmen.

I said I wouldn't be surprised if Pakistan lost all their wickets before 200. And Pakistan did lose all their wickets before 200. Pakistan lost all their wickets in the first innings for 194 runs. At the same time, I also said that it is impossible to predict the batting of Pakistan's batsmen. I have seen many others think the same. Pakistan and Bangladesh are teams whose performance is completely impossible to predict.

Pakistan could not score 200 runs in the first innings but started the second innings brilliantly. Pakistan had just lost their first wicket. Pakistan managed to score 205 runs from the opening pair. Babar Azam returned to the dressing room after scoring 81 runs. Shan Masood is still at the crease after scoring 102 runs. Every batsman in the Pakistan squad has the ability to play a big innings. So there is nothing surprising in Pakistan scoring 500/600 in the second innings.

The follow on couldn't be avoided by the Pakistan team and they were all out at 194 runs. Only Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan showed some resistance but as soon as they were out, the Pakistan team lost all the wickets quickly.

South Africa did not hesitate to enforce the follow-on and that was the perfect decision by them. There was no point for them to bat again when the lead was over 400 runs. However, Pakistan started the 2nd innings in a good way. I wasn't expecting that. Both Shan Masood and Babar Azam have put on 80 runs and Pakistan hasn't lost a wicket. Strange !!!
Anyways lets see how long can they go ? It is a matter of time when Pakistan will start losing wickets again.

We can confirm that Pakistan will not win their second Test match by looking at their batting performance. After losing the first match, they are facing defeat again in the second match, especially against South Africa, their batting and bowling performance could not improve. The runs scored by South Africa in their first innings were really huge, South Africa scored 615 runs. However, Pakistan was all out for just 194 runs in their first innings, their batting performance was very disappointing and bad. Today, Pakistan is batting again in the second innings and the way they are batting, it seems that they will fail to meet the target given by South Africa. Still, Pakistan needs to score 381 runs to meet South Africa's target, and they may lose wickets to achieve this run. And we can pretty much confirm that South Africa will be able to win the match against Pakistan in this Test series.

South African batsmen played well and set a tough target for Pakistan which is 615 in both innings and it is really tough for Pakistan as Pakistan batsmen can score only 194 runs in first innings which is very low and Now Pakistan are playing the second innings. Pakistan now has a chance that if they score 500 runs in the same innings then they will be able to win this match otherwise they will lose this match. So Pakistan batsmen scored 80 runs in 17 overs and the good performance is that they scored more runs and did not lose any wicket. I think the way Pakistan are playing they can win this match. South Africa bowling can put Pakistan under pressure at times so Pakistan must defend and collect runs to win the match. If Pakistan wins this match, it will change the direction of the match very hard which will raise the hopes of many people.

Someone from the top order of Pakistan had to take responsibility and make a partnership. But now, they will have to play to avoid the follow-on. South Africa already won the first match and they are playing fearless cricket at this moment. I don't know how they became that strong in Test cricket that they even qualified for the Test championship Final. You cannot play a Final just by winning a match, or a series.

Now in short time, we will have chase started by Zimbabwe things are going to be not easy but still we will be having entertaining end of this second test after having poor and bore end of first test match now winning target is 278 for Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe team have started the chase. Afghanistan team played well in the second innings and the same has shattered the easy winning opportunity of Zimbabwe team. Rahmat Shah(139 runs) and Ismat Alam (101 runs) took Afghanistan team to a strong position. With the target of 278 runs Zimbabwe has started well, and Afghanistan team giving its best to break partnership. As of now Zimbabwe has scored 75/2 and they need another 195 runs to win the match.

They have been playing pretty well for the last two years and they deserve to be a finalist. But, I didn't notice since when they became unbeatable in test format. Anyway, Pakistan should try to at least draw the match if they can.

Unfortunately, Pakistan could not avoid the Follow-On, meaning Pakistan was all out for 197 runs. Pakistan has already started their second innings but Pakistan is trailing by 400 runs. Pakistan performed very poorly, especially after losing three crucial wickets yesterday, scoring only 197 runs today, losing seven wickets. However, no matter how hard Pakistan tries, if they cannot build a long partnership, then it will not be possible for Pakistan to draw this match and if they are to draw, they will definitely have to build a partnership that will last more than two days. That's very impossible for Pakistan.

Pakistan is batting already with the loss of 3 wickets. Another problem for the Pakistan team is that they lost one of the best players ever who can be a special option in all formats, the one and the only Saim Ayub. In the South Africa innings, he was injured while fielding and could not even stand in the ground. Then the player took him and then he went upstairs with the help of a chair. I hope he will be fine in the next few days. However, Shan Masood who is the captain did not score too and right now Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are batting and this is the crucial partnership from Pakistan team point of view.

Saim Ayub right ankle got fractured during fielding and is out for next six weeks, there are news that he will receive further treatment in England. Due to this reason Pakistan has to play this test with 10 batsmen. Disappointing batting from Pakistani batsmen in first innings and they are now batting for second time after South Africa opted for follow-on. Shan Masood with average of 29 runs don't even deserve a place in Pakistan team but he is unfortunately been made captain. I my view South Africa will win this test quite easily.

Draw? You're kidding, right? They are trailing the proteas by 456 runs and only have 4 wickets remaining who are all bowlers themselves. Pakistan are done and South Africa have pretty much wrapped up this series.

The Pakistan team trails by 421 runs, and the first innings has come to an end. In such a situation, there is zero chance of the Pakistan team winning the match. The third day's second session is going on. The Pakistan team needs to withstand another two days, which isn't possible. One of the best bowling teams wasn't able to perform with the bowling. At least the batting line-up should've performed well. For a long time, the Pakistan team has depended on limited players in all formats of cricket. This needs to change. If that happens, Pakistan will be better, and the cricket board too isn't focusing on bringing up players and making them progress.

I don't think Pakistan will avoid follow on because they already lost 6 wickets at 161 runs. All players goen out and bow tail ender come to carees and it's very difficult now for Pakistan to score 260 which is required to avoid follow on in first inning of this test match. Pakistan batting line collapsed except Babar Azam who scored a well deserved half century and out after scoring 58 runs, while Muhammad Rizwan missed his half century by 4 run short. South Africa's bowling performance is outstanding, especially Kagiso Rabada, who picked 2 important wickets, and all South African bowlers picked up some wickets. South Africa is now the hot favorite to win this test match and also the series.
