Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test, Sri Lanka tour of Pakistan Test Series, 2019 - CommentaryPAK vs SL, 2nd Test, Sri Lanka tour of Pakistan Test Series, 2019 - Commentary

Shahbaz Shakoor: Peace and cricket in Pakistan, message for all cricket playing nations to come and play in Pakistan. We love cricket. How well they are performing on their own pitches.

Fahad Humayun: "Pakistan need to win at home. All the games. May be that will help them in Test Championship. I hope they will do well in New Zealand and England by seeing their record."

Ahsan Kiani: "Pakistan will feel much better after this series, Bangladesh is coming next so they are pretty much in the contest as far as Test Championship is concerned."

Manish Jain: "This has been a good little counter attack from Niroshan. Is not going to affect the end result much but will definitely help his confidence."

Muhammad Amir: "No doubt Pakistan are going well but is it enough effort from Pakistan to go on further in the Test Championship?" -- It's their loss in Australia that's going to come back to bite them eventually

Sandeep vangara: "After watching 1st innings, didn't expect Sri Lanka to be at this stage. But it's Test cricket and it's a beauty. Anything can happen."

Talha Wajid: "Interesting to see if either Naseem Shah or Shaheen Afridi will try to get 5-fer. Already watched some stunning deliverers from both youngsters."

Hussnain Chaudhary: "Cold afternoon in Saudi Arabia. Black coffee without sugar tastes sweet because of Pak performance."

Ahsan Kiani: "Crowd getting behind Pakistan team. This is the thing they missed in the last decade."

Mohsin: "@Erick, Your words had a profound effect on Yasir! You should've said it earlier."

Erick: "Come on Yasir Shah! You're a champion. Find that lost spirit inside you, Pakistan needs you!"

Waseem Rana: "Haris Sohail is a better option than Yasir in the current situation for Pakistan. Azhar Ali can try himself also."

Manoj: Great opportunity for the SL's young and talented batsmen to make a case for themselves in this innings. Good batting track, inexperienced quickies, perfect for batting!

Manoj: "Babar Azam has been in excellent form in the longer format over the last few months, but he still has a long way to go. 3 hundreds form 45 innings doesn't justify his talent."

Aryan Joshi: "The best batsman of the team should be batting at number 4. Steven Smith for Australia, Virat Kohli for India. That's why Babar Azam should always bat at 4 irrespective of the situation."

KAPIL: "Too early for Babar Azam...he should start performing in crucial matches against quality sides and learn to finish matches as well like Smith and Kohli do. They single handedly win the match for their team."

Peerzada Nayeem: "@Saad, it is a Sunday today. Could you please tell me which school is open on Sunday."

Saad: "I am right now in school and watching this match." -- And why do you want your Principal to know?

Haseeb Arshad: "I should say, the time has come to convert Fab 4 to Fab 5, How impressive Babar Azam is in all formats. Just Impressive."

Kushal Roka: "Is there any record so far of the top four hitting 4 centuries by a team in a single innings of Test match?" -- Yes, just once, by India against Bangladesh in 2007

Sayed hussain: "Pakistan team always follows its openers. If the openers score, the middle order batsmen will also score runs for sure. This is the beauty of PAK cricket."

Lucifer: "It is fun watching Babar scoring runs at Test level with ease."

Omair: Abid & Masood were too good give a huge confidence to Azhar Ali. He is finally scoring which he missed whole year, hope he score more

Ali: Pakistan's record at NSK is just phenomenal just like Abu Dhabi. They have just lost twice at both the venues.

Mohd Abbas: Shan case, is it justifiable for an opening batsman to have 27 average with strike rate of 43 with 1 ton? Is there really lack of good test batsman in the country? 'He's batting well today though'

Pratik: Well this match looks evenly poised, Sri Lanka have to find a way to get wickets! Pakistan has to post a decent total, no collapse needed, and bowl really well! This Sri Lankan team have a good record of chasing, cannot take them lightly

MSP: Vishwa Fernando's innings reminds me the one he played with Kusal Perera at Durban for the final wicket.

Ravi Atreya: "Lead of 100 odd runs will definitely hurt Pakistan."

Dinesh: "@Reddy Prasad: Have some faith in Karunaratne. He already won a series in SA where the other Asian teams achieved nothing."

Arslan Khadim: "Naseem Shah needs more control over line & length than pace. If Pakistan are able to manage their team selection then surely they can beat any other team of the world."

Sai Akhil: "Why is Kusal Perera not playing? Is he injured?" -- Nope. He has been dropped

waseem: "@Prasad: For proper transition you should have a strong domestic cricket structure which can supply the players for the highest level. Problem with West Indies and Sri Lanka is that they aren't getting proper talent, even Australia and India struggled for a brief period when the great players retired."

Akhash: "@Amit Vikas Oak, Also, 13 Australians selected in the IPL auction." -- Hence proved

Muhammad Usman: "It's too early for Naseem Shah in Test match cricket. Pakistan should take him and have him for 2 years with the team without playing and the bowler Mir Hamza who only played 1 Test should be treated well. This is how you can build a good team."

Reddy Prasad: "Sri Lankan cricket taking far too long time in transition phase. 4+ years down the lane after 2015 WC and are still not able to find proper replacements. Very poor stuff. Cricket slowly losing its charm."

Amit Vikas Oak: "Three Lankan batsmen have fall on 13. Extra runs conceded by Pakistan are also 13 till now. Unlucky figure 13 continues to rule." -- Of course. 13 is Australia's biggest contribution to cricket! Not Bradman.

Arham Ahmedq: "Mickey Arthur is well aware of the fact that Pakistani batsman get trapped against left arm spinners, especially Babar Azam!!! So he had played a left handed spinner and he had done his job. While Misbah is just trying his tricks and experiments on Pakistan Team."

Akshat Sheth: "Pakistan please preserve Shaheen Shah Afridi as he is so valuable to their set -up and also don't let him retire like Amir or Wahab. He was your best bowler in Australia and right now also. Pakistan cricket needs a leader of the pack which he is capable of and World Cricket needs Pakistan to step-up."

Karthik: "Chandimal once led the side and is now trying to find a place in the squad."

Muhammad Usman: "Yasir Shah is not in nick. I think that Kashif Bhatti (left arm spinner) could be a good choice for Pakistan as Embuldeniya did well for SL in the 1st Innings."

Waseem bopara: "If Yasir Shah fails to pick a wicket then Pakistan are in real trouble here. Chandimal, de silva all these can bat long."

Farrukh: "Pak bowlers struggled in Australia due to lack of ability to generate pace and bounce. These local conditions seem to be a bit more conducive their style of bowling. It's important that they do not let SL get a lead beyond 20-25 runs."

Nitin: "This Test match getting interesting. We love to see high scoring ODIs & T20 matches but in Tests our taste suddenly get changed. Low scoring Tests always have more excitement."
