Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 1st Test Day 3 Summary & Score Card 24 June 2012

The narrative of this Test has been decided by the umpiring errors which now stand at at least 12. But again, what is disappointing is the absolute lack of fight Pakistan batsmen have showed. Their bowlers were sharp in the second innings, especially Junaid Khan, which can perhaps be one positive for the visitors.

Kulasekara outstanding again; he now has 24 Test wickets at 15.62 against Pakistan, compared to six wickets at 90.66 against other opposition.

You would have to think the match would probably not have gone into a fourth day had the follow-on been enforced. Pakistan ended day two with five men down; they end day three with three men down.

Please Misbah come and tuk tuk, I wont ever criticize you again…
