Thought we could use this for other scores of interest Internationally.

At the moment Pakistan are chasing 7/644 as we know

Pakistan are currently 4/452 with Younis Khan on 242*. Murali has already bowled 53 overs.

The game is obviously going to be a draw with the game currently in the second session in day 4.

This is one of the flattest pitches ever put together i think, cricket in Pakistan is nearly dead, be lucky to be 200 people there today.

i said he was over rated once......

fair start to his captaincy career with a solid 242* ....
first game he has been the offical captain of his country!!
well done to him, but obviously the pitch helps

Sounds like the best way to get someone out on that sort of pitch is to bowl slow high full tosses that land in front of the batsmen and hope they miscue or get a stumping out of it.

That would mean it isn't a full toss spelly?????????

A hand grenade, in fact. Or maybe try to get to the batsmen on the full so they have to move around the crease a bit to avoid being hit.

That would get me moving

There have been 3 Double centuries so far in this Test.
Has this been done B4 in Test cricket?

Kumar Sangakkara is bowling. First time he's ever bowled in Test cricket.

That would be good to watch. What is wrong with Murali? He getting a bit tired after bowling 50+ overs in the innings?

302* to Younis Khan.

I notice the umpires are Steve Davis and Simon Taufel.

99 more and could we see the Great Brian Lara make a comeback ?

Well he's got 11 overs left today and all day tomorrow. If he really has a crack is 500 out of the question?

New ball just taken after 160 overs.

I think that if curators in Pakistan (if there's such a thing) don't want to make pitches that will give half a chance of a result, they might as well play one Test and make it timeless. That would be interesting.

Well done to the South Aussie but it is a bit ridiculous preparing a pitch like this.

They do it all the time, here is two from 2006:

5/570 after 201 overs.

Murali has bowled 59 and Mendis 54

No chance of a result so maybe Younis will try and bat all day tomorrow if he survives the last few overs.

I know there has been heaps (well not literally) of 2 double centuries, but I can't find any with three in them.
