Anyone watching this test. BD seem to have started slowly but the talk is the pitch is very flat.

Its slipped under the rador.

Its a great chance for BD to win a test against someone other than Zimbabwe.

I don't count those wins against the West Indies.

Bangladesh wont be happy loosing a wicket of the last ball there.

Pakistan are meant to have dropped a lot of catches, some things never change.

The trouble with Pakistan is when they drop a lot of catches like this, then people start to question whether there was intent.

I just hope they were all genuine drops.

Pretty good morning session for Pakistan. Holding onto chances certainly helps.

So far been a brilliant day for Pakistan.

Hafeez has a 100 and is going at a good rate as well.

Pakistan RR at present is 3.8 Pushing along well with plenty of wickets in hand.

200 up for Hafeez :clap

Pakistan going to bat the day out and have a lead of about 200 me thinks. A great chance for the bats to increase there career averages. Younis will feel likes he's missed out here.

I'm wondering on such a pitch how long they should give themselves to bowl BD out.

Lunch tomorrow could give them a 300 run lead. 5 sessions should be enough to force a win.

He has, and always will be, a boom and bust batsman. Very little technique to his game, he just wafts hard at the ball, and on some days you get lucky.

His luck is in today. Next test he will be out in the first over.... c'est la vie!

Seems like a pitch that we could all score a test 100 on though
