Great knock from KP, gutted he didnt finish it off, i know he wanted to finish it off in style, but would have been far better walking off unbeaten.

True but he's too arrogant to do that. IMO

Asia Cup - 1st match

Bangladesh v Pakistan

Pakistan won by 21 runs

[Corthus]

Sad to see Dravid go he was exception for India over here last summer their best player by a mile and although he didn't have a good winter he was an exceptional player. On another note it was fantastic to see Tendulkar finally get his 100th century yesterday. It took him longer than he would have liked i expect but it's a been a magnificent effort to do what he has achieved over his career.

Final: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Dhaka

Sri Lanka 318

England 122/7 (32.1 ov)

England trail by 196 runs with 3 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

Day 2 - Session 2

[Corthus]

Another pretty ordinary batting performance by England. Outside of Cook who got a good ball the rest threw their wickets away and it could have been worse without a few useful runs from the bowlers. Still the bowlers have given them a chance after picking of early wickets again. If they can finish Sri Lanka off quickly they still might be able to rescue it.

[LarsUlrichTheSecond!]

Lots of pressure mounting on Andrew Strauss...

[Corthus]

He played well today, probably annoyed with himself for getting out as a big score was there but it's been a much better batting performance so far. Though the rest have to back up the good start and get a big total first innings now.

[brizaroni]

KP shone again to get us to 460 all out.

KP - 151 out lbw.

He batted like he did a few years ago.

Roll-on day 4.
