SL vs PAK 2023: 2nd Test Day 2 Stumps, Pakistan is at 178/2 and Lead by 12 runs | Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 2nd Test 2023

SL vs PAK Day 4: "England have Bazball so Pakistan have Pakball." This quote is making headlines as Pakistan are treating Sri Lanka the same way that England did to them. Pakistan batted beautifully and gained a massive lead of 397 runs at the Stumps of Day 3. The weather was better than what was forecasted and now all eyes are on the weather report of day 4. This post will let you know the SL vs PAK Day 4 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Sinhalese Sports Club,&nbsp;Colombo.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump To:</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-pak-day-4-weather-forecast">SL vs PAK Day 3 Pitch Report</a></li><li class=""><a href="#sl-vs-pak-day-4-pitch-report">SL vs PAK Day 4 Pitch Report</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Pakistan were flawless today and played aggressive cricket. They charged selected bowlers and squeeze the maximum out of it. With their fierce stance, they stretched 12 runs lead to 397 runs lead in just a day of Test cricket and overall, it was a day of utter domination from Pakistan.



Agha Salman's second Test century, Saud Shakeel's record-setting half-century, Abdullah Shafique's first double hundred, and more highlights made the visitors delighted. The Sri Lankan team was let down by their batsmen on the first day, but today they made mistakes with the ball. 



It's reasonable to say that they have been batted out of the Test, and their only option now is to continue to bat for a very long time in the hopes of salvaging a draw. Pakistan might declare overnight or they might play for one more session and extend their lead over 450 and then declare.



Down below is the SL vs PAK Day 4 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Sinhalese Sports Club,&nbsp;Colombo:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-pak-day-4-weather-forecast">SL vs PAK Day 4 Weather Forecast</h2>



Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka 2023 | Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 2nd Test match is being played at&nbsp;Sinhalese Sports Club,&nbsp;Colombo&nbsp;from July 24 to July 28 starting at 10:00 AM Local and&nbsp;10:00 PM IST.

ACC TO WEATHER.COM, the weather is predicted to be slightly overcast throughout the day and probably the sun will be out in Colombo. As the weather websites show, there are quite low chances of rain for Day 4 which would not affect the match as such. A 512% chance of rain is predicted in the morning hours and drops to 8% at mid-noon and in the evening. It hopefully ain?t going to interrupt the game on Day 4 and we can watch some action. The Temperature in the morning is expected to be around 29? C and stay around 30?C for the day.



Winds with a speed of around 15-20KMPH will gust towards the West-Southwest. Humidity will also stay at the average rate of 80%. So, the possibilities of rain are there in the morning hours but we can hope for a pretty healthy and decent part of SL vs PAK day 4 of 2nd test match.<a href="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/plugins/gumlet/assets/images/pixel.png"></a>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sl-vs-pak-day-4-pitch-report">SL vs PAK Day 4 Pitch Report</h2>



An obvious flat track! The Sinhalese Sports Club Ground offers a batsman-friendly surface where spinners may effectively contribute by extracting turn and bounce right from day 1. On this field, bats who can successfully handle spin have an edge in terms of scoring significant runs.



The stump line is breaking down and the pitch appears to be dry. Spin will become more crucial as a result of the wear and tear that these footmarks. The Pacers may pose a threat if the balls land in those regions.

Pakistan vs England: The first day of the opening Test-Match between Pakistan and England came to an exciting end with the Shaheens posting a score of 328-4 on the board.



Thanks to skipper Shan Masood's century on the first day of play at the Multan Cricket Stadium, the Green Shirts rebounded excellently in the first Test against England on Monday.



Having won the toss and chosen to bat first, the national team was dealt an early setback when opener Saim Ayub (4) was caught behind off the bowling of Gus Atkinson.



However, captain Shan Masood and opening batter Abdullah Shafique stitched a partnership of 114 runs for the 2nd wicket to help their team reach a score of 122-1 at lunch.



The 1st day of the 1st test ended with Pakistan putting up a score of 328-4 on the board with the duo of Naseem Shah (0 runs in 3 deliveries) and Saud Shakeel (35* runs in 72 balls) unbeaten at the crease.



The ongoing three-match Test-Series between Pakistan and England is a part of ICC?s WTC (World Test Championship) 2023-2025 cycle.



Earlier in the game, Shan was adjudged LBW by the umpire off the bowling of debutant pacer Brydon Carse. However, the Pakistani skipper took a review immediately and his decision payed off as the verdict got overturned as replays showed that the ball had pitched outside the leg-stump.



Shan then ran two quick runs and brought up his half-century in 43 deliveries.



Opener Abdullah Shafique was given a lifeline when he was batting on 35 runs as he opted to take a risky-single and Ollie Pope, the stand-in skipper of England, missed the stumps by a very small margin with his direct throw.



Despite missing the run-out opportunity, Pope made up for it as he caught the catch of Shafique in the 60th over off Atkinson as the opener walked back to the pavilion after scoring 102 runs in 184 deliveries, which included 10 fours and two huge maximums.



Pakistan?s other opener Saim Ayub didn?t have a good outing with the bat as he made just four runs and got out early.



Moreover, the best-batter of the day, Shan Masood was dismissed by Jack Leach in the 63rd over, after scoring 151 runs in 177 deliveries, with the help of 13 fours and two maximums.



Babar Azam, batting at number four, came on the crease with the motive of scoring 50+ runs but ended up scoring just 30 runs in 71 deliveries as Chris Woakes got the better of him by catching him plumb in front of the stumps.



The duo of Jack Leach and Chris Woakes picked up a wicket each while fast-bowling All Rounder Gus Atkinson dismissed two batters.

Pakistan vs England: Pakistan Post 328 runs on the board as Shan Masood dominates with a century in the opening-test

pakistan-vs-england-pakistan-post-328-runs-on-the-board-as-shan-masood-dominates-with-a-century-in-the-opening-test

Pakistan has announced the playing XI for the first Test against South Africa. The Boxing Day Test between the teams will begin on 26th December at the Supersport Park in Centurion and will be part of the ICC World Test Championship as well. 
Pakistan has made a bold call related to their playing XI for the first Test against South Africa. The Shan Masood-led side has dropped solid opener Abdullah Shafique for the first game, especially after he failed in the ODI series. The batter bagged three ducks in three games. 
With Abdullah Shafique not playing, Pakistan will be opening with skipper Shan Masood. It will no doubt be a massive Test for the batter, as opening the innings in South Africa isn't an easy task. He will be there at the top along with Saim Ayub, who slammed two centuries in ODIs. 
Babar Azam will be batting at No.3 and will be making his comeback into the team after being dropped from the England Tests. It will be a great opportunity for him to reclaim his place in the team and prove his prowess with the bat in the two-match series. 
Kamran Ghulam, who slammed a debut on a century, also has made the cut into the team for the Test against South Africa. Vice-captain Saud Shakeel and keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan will be handling the middle order duties along with Salman Agha, who will be spin bowling all-rounder. 
The pace department for Pakistan is pretty solid, as Aamer Jamal will be the seam-bowling all-rounder. Khurram Shahzad, Naseem Shah and Mohammad Abbas will be the three Frontline pacers in the team for the first Test against South Africa. 
<h2>Pakistan playing XI for the first Test against South Africa </h2>
Here's the Pakistan playing XI for the first Test against South Africa: 
Shan Masood (c), Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel (vc), Salman Ali Agha, Aamir Jamal, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shahzad, Mohammad Abbas.
