South Africa needs 243 runs to win. They still have 9 wickets. If they can start tomorrow well, they will win the match. I think the team that plays well in the first session will win the match. But I am optimistic about South Africa's victory.

South Africa is in a really great position to win the match, they still have Faf du Plessis, Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock and if they can come together and play a good innings then South Africa can win the match. Glad that i did not place a bet in the match.

Bangladesh loss was a real surprise as the odds for West Indies were really high and thought about placing a bet on Bangladesh and the odds were 1.01 and hence thought of skipping that, if not i would have messed up big time Cheesy

India seems to have lost the grip of this test match now and most likely they might even end up losing it by innings and few runs now it seems . The only thing now that could save the match is some one in second innings play a marathon innings and pile up the score which though seems to be very unlikely from here. Credit to England team they way they have played the game so far and controlling this test from the first day .

The Pakistan vs South Africa match is turning out to be a very interesting one. The advantage is still with Pakistan, as their opponents need another 245 runs with 9 wickets in hand. But the partnership between Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen has made 92 runs, and has given hope to South Africa. And they have Faf du Plessis and Quiton de Kock to follow.. IMO, right now it is like 50/50. The match can swing either way.

South Africa needs 243 runs to win. They still have 9 wickets. If they can start tomorrow well, they will win the match. I think the team that plays well in the first session will win the match. But I am optimistic about South Africa's victory.

Scoring close to 400 runs in the last innings is an uphill task, especially for a team that has a fragile middle/lower order such as South Africa. Pakistani bowlers are in fine form and all it takes is just one good spell from either Hasan Ali or Shaheen Shah Afridi. I still believe that at this point Pakistan has a 90% chance of winning the match. The first session tomorrow morning is going to be very crucial. If the Pakistani bowlers can get one or two quick wickets, then South Africa is done and dusted for good.

I think the outcome of the whole match depends on the first 15 overs of tomorrow morning. If South Africa does not lose a wicket in the first 15 overs, they will win the match. Because now both the batsmen at the crease are playing great. On the other hand, if Pakistan can break Dussen and Markram's partnership quickly in the morning, I think South Africa will lose the remaining wickets very quickly.

Although I don't want to discount the effort put forward by the West Indies players, some attention must be given to the performance of Bangladesh during the last day of play. The captain (Mominul Haque) looked out of sorts and he didn't knew how to break the partnership between Mayers and Bonner. He made a number of tactical mistakes. I know that the BCB is not very fond of Shakib al Hassan. But if they want the team to perform, then Shakib must be made the captain.

Mominul Haque is a good player for Test matches. But not experienced enough to carry out the captain's duties. I think Mushfiqur Rahim or Shakib Al Hasan is much more experienced than the Mominul Haque. Bangladesh is already a very weak team for the Test format. So an experienced captain is very much needed to guide them in the right direction.

The Test match between Bangladesh and West Indies ended today. West Indies won the Test match by 3 wickets. Until yesterday, I did not think the West Indies would win this match. Kyle Mayers played great stormy innings of 210 runs. It was mainly because of his great performance that the West Indies were able to win the match.

No one actually gave any chance for West Indies. What was the chance that a team like West Indies (who lost the ODI series 0-3 in a very humiliating manner) would score 395 runs in their second innings to win the match (in the first innings they had scored 259). The West Indies playing XI comprised of three players who were making their test debut (Kyle Mayers, Shayne Moseley and Nkrumah Bonner), and one of them scored a double century.

Such an incredible test chase by West Indies. What I must say, Bangladesh took West Indies normally. But, when you deal with WI you have to beware as none one know their next move. A perfect example of over confidence, and captain Mominul have to do more works on it.

No one expected it. West Indies sent a relatively inexperienced squad. And it was the first time I was hearing about the guy who made the double century (Kyle Mayers from Barbados, who scored a double century on his debut). The guy who gave him support (Nkrumah Bonner) was also playing his first test match. These are encouraging signs for West Indies. The talent is still there, and the cricket board just needs to give chance to the younger players on a continuous basis.

Both Bangladesh and Pakistan have a habit of losing matches in which they have an advantage. No one really expected West Indies to win this match, as they needed close to 400 runs in the second innings. But after taking three quick wickets, the Bangladeshi bowlers allowed the situation to slip out of their hand. The captain also showed lack of maturity. All credit to Kyle Mayers and Nkrumah Bonner though.. they saved West Indies from complete humiliation.

^^ yeah and seems right way, still 180-190 overs left in this match. 120-130 overs should be enough to get 10 wickets during the last inning on the 4th-5th day pitch.

Lower order and tailenders can only delay the outcome, unless both Sunder- Ashwin produce some blinder.

......
England should use Archer-Bess combination for last spell.

Last pair who can play longer innings, if one wicket goes down then it won't take more than 5 overs to wrap the tail.So far Ashwin and Sundar is playing very patiently, but morning session will be more crucial to bat on so I don't think they can pass the 1st session. And even if ENG started with 250 runs lead they can simply score 150+ with fast scoring rate and ask their bowlers to do the remaining work because 4th and 5th day not going to be very easy for betting.

Windies won!!!!

Pakistan vs South Africa match is also going to 5th day chase.. incredible for test cricket.

Today we have really beauty of Test and cricket as Bangla tigers was in full control for first 4 days but in last 2 sessions West Indies won this match with the help of two debutants they done one off greatest job for cricket and West Indies 395 last days is never been easy but happen.
Pakistan vs South Africa still both have full chance to win this match most chances Visitors will win because Markram and Dussan solid so they need to stay for level the series and good win in Pakistan.
India vs England is also very interesting still all three results wide open any thing can happen if tail enders stay some more and frustrate England then most chances we are going to have draw otherwise England done very good job for third consective win in Asia.

I did not see that coming, West Indies pulling off an unexpected upset chasing a huge total in the 4th innings, two unknown players taking the West Indies home in difficult situation and Kyle Mayers was making his debut and went on to score a double century and that too in crucial situation, Bangladesh players also did not expect this coming and hence they declared the second innings.

Will be see another upset by South Africa as well. England also can win the match as they are in a really strong position. This will be the week of upsets Cheesy

England dominated the match and it is great to see India getting dominated from visiting teams and the bowlers were able to pick 6 wickets and now the tail end players are in the crease, Sundar and Ashwin can only delay the duration of the match and they are playing a patient innings and they still trail by 345 runs but i doubt England will enforce the follow on because the bowlers are tired and they might play a couple of session if that situation arises.

I think rain interference is the only way India can survive this one since the match could possibly end up as a draw. This is a dominating performance by England in the first test in every single aspect.

You cannot expect rain in Chennai during this period, so that is out of the way Grin

. Rishabh Pant is counter attacking and playing as if he is playing the shorter format with a strike rate of 143. He is looking to disrupt the line and length of Leach and if he gets out in this period it will be disaster but if he gets through and score a big hundred it will be great.

Still 16 wickets (6 + 10) are left in the match for Indian and being a number one team, someone should step up and save this ship.

If India bats longer then the match will end up in a draw, it all depends upon how much runs India will be able to put on the board in the first innings. India needs to build partnership and they can save the match.

The first target for the india team is to save the follow-on and the exact target for that is 378. India still have to make around 170+ runs to avoid it. For this to happen the rest of the batsmen need to support Pant who is looking good at 85 not out. If he could stay and avoid the follow-on, india could think of saving this match.

Horrible batting performance so far by the Indian team. Kohli is struggling these days just like Smith. 4 wickets gone for just 80+ runs when chasing a target like 550+ paints a bad picture for India.

Indian team always need a wake up call before any big series so consider this blessing in disguise. I am positive that Rohit/Kohli both going to get big runs soon and Team will come back hard at England.

Draw would be too bad for this series, England played excellent cricket and they deserve to win if they are able to maintain the momentum.
