Its raining and the odds for pakistan to win the match dropped instantly from 20 to 13 and draw from 25 to 15 . I don't think this match is gonna end as draw but I wouldn't say Pakistan doesn't have a chance. If they play well at 3-3.5 runs per over without loosing wickets quickly they can still do it .
If the match are to continue the chances for Pakistan to win the match are slim as they tend to lose wickets in a pile and with Younis Khan not in good form and with the help of rain it is a possibility to save the match and go for a draw rather than a win as they still need 359 runs .If Pakistan could chase this score they would be breaking some records on the way which i don't expect.

Pakistan needs 108 runs to win but have just 2 wickets remaining. Asad Shafiq scored a 100 and is pivotal on the things to happen next. If he manages to score another 30-40 odd runs without wickets falling. Then Pakistan will have a decent chance to win the match. It is a lil unlikely that Yasir Shah will stick around for long with the average of 11 runs/inning.

Pakistan scored almost 400 in second innings, never-mind but that's already a win for them. They clearly gave the message to Aussies that they can give them tough time in upcoming matches.

This match is not in Pakistan's hand, but looking at the second innings, it still should be considered a win for them. Very well batted, but captain Misbah surely played disappointed. He should learn sometime from Amir/Wahab.

True it will give Pakistan confidence going into the next test match at the MCG however if Smith didn't drop those 2 catches this match would of been over last night and Pakistan would of been all out for around 300 runs but that didn't happen and now we go into day 5 with Australia needing 2 wickets while Pakistan need 108 runs. As I said in a previous post Australia should of at least set Pakistan a target over 500 runs just to be safe. I still think Australia will win but it could get close depending on how well the tail bat.
