That was a sick catch by Ashraful! Hey, give credit where it's due! He was always one of the better fielders in the side.

[NoName]

Ash does it again!

[Vepu]

this is why every cricketer shud practice dance moves like sir ash.that was moon walk side on

[Rifat]

Nice catch and dance moves by Ashraful hahahaha

[22Yards]

Ashrafuls dancing skills coming handy there. Good catch

[Roni_uk]

Lol. BTW since when Ash started to wear a hat?

Now the goal is not to lose a wicket today! Haha. Let's all hope for the best.

[BD_TigerZ]

Tamim must fire..Mullah spot should be under fire if he dosent get 50 atleast..

[Naimul_Hd]

20 runs less would have been great. Anyway, still the test is even ! We gotta score 300+ runs in the 2nd innings !

[Bonglababu]

some improved bowling at the end. 106 runs of lead isn't that much provided our batters play sensibly.

[ialbd]

Just for the sake of discussion, whats a defendable target for this pitch? 270+? That means we have to score 370+ in our second innings..... hmm...

[cricbook]

we can do it.......106 not that much trust me....pitch is good ...n we r coming to bat not morining or not evining....perfect time ...no due or rain ....so allah help us....lets play for victory.

[Rabz]

Last one down.
Good catch by Ash at the boundary.

Time for some decisive batting.
Ideally, should look to set them a target of 300+.

But can our batsman do something they are not so famous of ?
Putting up a good solid 2nd innings show.

[Rifat]

Mushfqiur sets up a trap for Eranga, and Alhamdulillah it worked

[Crickbang]

wow if he hadn't made that cool move, would have gone over for a six! hahhahah. Good catch though.

At a minimum, we need to bat until the end of fourth day. That should give us a good total to defend on 4th day... This is a good test to see if our batters pull through for us! I have faith in our team...

[Cric Boss]

Ash-fool

[RazabQ]

well about 20 less that what Chandimal said was the goal for lead. I'd hazard 40-50 more than I would have preferred. Can we bat out till tomorrow evening?

I am dropping Mullah to no. 7. He does well there. He can bat with the tail if we struggle. Remember the epic 178 with Abul: :P

370 on a deteriorating pitch by our batsmen? Highly improbable.

[Rabz]

Tamim is due for a good test knock.
Its been a while.

[BD_TigerZ]

350 should be target. Must get a good start. No brainfarts please!!

[cricman]

Need to bat out 5 sessions
