[al Furqaan]

Excellent resolve shown...need to bat another session by these guys and we could be well on the way to drawing this match.

[nadim 98]

Very happy with this session.

[Gowza]

terrific first session, this is how to play test cricket

[Dilscoop]

Now let the hopes be reborn and praises come alive, and welcome the downfall from post-lunch sessions.

Been a boring session to be honest, well done to Bang for sticking around though, think this match is likely to end in a draw and our attack is gonna have to look at themselves, the track is tough no doubt but the likes of Best has been poor and for some reason Narine isn't creating many chances, we've missed Roach very badly imo, and it's no surprise considering he's one of the top three wicket takers this year in test cricket,

The follow on is out of the question now, now the aim should be to get a 120-150 lead, if we do that then a result is still possible, anything under 100 though and a draw it will be.

Excellent first session. Loved the way Naeem played. A great way to come back to International cricket. Our worry for #4 position should be over now

[BANFAN]

SN/JS should take a lesson from here, what he never learnt after playing so many years....

[M.H.Rubel]

It was a very nice batting by Naeem. Shakib was nervy initially. Ride on luckbut he covered well. Well done boys carry on.

[mali007]

Impressive session !! Keep it up .

[al Furqaan]

450-252 = 198 more for my predicted bear minumum score to say we're a decent side.

[Rabz]

Alhamdulillah !!!
Could not have asked for anything more.
88 runs and a session dealt with wickets intact.
Well played so far Naeem and Shakib.

This is how you play test cricket.

Not predicting any result yet... But I understand why it's boring for you, as it was for us day before yesterday....now it's our turn to torture you...

[ialbd]

ghumaite te jete hochhe for an early meeting tomorrow morning....

Shakib & Naeem er century chai.... thats a must... and this is Shakib's chance to make it even bigger than that......

[mali007]

Naeem has improved a lot , good prospect for test.

[AsifTheManRahman]

Naeem is the real deal, but unfortunately the previous management didn't see it and kept batting him at #8 before dropping him for no reason.
