We are back. Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique to open for Pakistan.
...Day 2, Session 2...
Pakistan will be slightly disappointed at the break. They bowled well but allowed the tail to end 15-20 runs extra. Pakistan took the new ball hoping for some swing but instead, the seamers went for runs. There is definitely a turn on this pitch now. Pakistan have to be careful against the quality Sri Lankan side. Join us back for the second session in some time.
Excellent last stand from Sri Lanka which have helped them to get over 300. Pakistan will not be disappointed as they have taken the final four wickets in the first session. Dhananjaya de Silva was the star for Sri Lanka as initially he along with Angelo Mathews helped the hosts to recover from being 4 down for 50-odd runs. Sri Lanka kept losing wickets later but Dhananjaya de Silva batted well with the lower order, got his ton and along with the tail got the score above 300.
