PAKISTAN VS SRI LANKA 2ND TEST

It promises to be another absorbing day. Do join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye.. With the bowlers having set them up, the batsmen made sure that the efforts of the first two sessions didn't go in waste. Kaushal Silva and Dimuth Karunaratne batted with caution. The former had some luck. A bat-pad appeal against him was negated by the third umpire, but he could have been given out LBW. A lapse in concentration saw Karunaratne throw his wicket away, caught behind off Junaid Khan for 28. This was the latter's 50th wicket against Sri Lanka, in his 13th Test against them. Kumar Sangakkara is looking at ease and will look to take his team into a position of ascendency when play resumes tomorrow. A day of dominance for Sri Lanka. They lost the toss, were asked to bowl and responded superbly by bundling out Pakistan for just 138. There wasn't a lot in this pitch, but Dhammika Prasad exploited the new ball to take out Pakistan's top-order. The post-lunch session belonged to the mystery spinner, Tharindu Kaushal. In an unchanged spell, he ripped out Pakistan's middle and lower-order, returning with career-best figures of 5/42, his maiden five-wicket haul in Tests. There is some confusion whether it's the end of play or not. The batsmen look confused and the umpires are currently having a discussion. They feel that the light is not good enough and it's stumps on day 1.
