SL vs PAK 1st Test Day 1 Highlights: Pakistan Lose Two Wickets On ... (Cricket Country News)

Highlights Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 1st Test, Day 1, Cricket: Sri Lanka and Pakistan resumed their rivalry in a two-match Test series.

Thus if Pakistan wins all games, they will surely qualify for the final. Both teams hosted Australia in their most recent series but failed to beat the visitors. They will look to continue the momentum on the second day of the match.

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 1st Test (Cricbuzz)

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 1st Test. Day 1: Stumps - Pakistan trail by 198 runs. SL - 222. PAK - 24/2 (18). CRR: 1.33. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Azhar Ali*, 3(38), 0, 0, 7.89. Babar Azam, 1(7), 0, 0, 14.29. Bowling, O, M, R, W.

On a wicket which has started to assist the tweakers, it'll be imperative for the batters to remain positive and with Babar Azam out in the middle, Pakistan will hope for a better start today. If Pakistan are going to play the waiting game like this, Sri Lanka may get more chances with the ball turning and jumping big on batters occasionally. Prabath Jayasuriya to resume, a slip and a silly-point in place Kasun Rajitha then trapped Imam-ul-Haq in front and Prabath Jayasuriya sent Abdullah Shafique in a similar manner as the visitors ended the day at 24 for 2. There was a lot of standing water on the covers, it's clear that they need time to get the ground ready Or did the ball drop on the half-volley, it was Karunaratne who was diving forward at cover - it did carry and will go down as a chance, came at a nice height as well.

45.6 M Theekshana to Yasir Shah, no run, a half-chance and it didn't stick, Oshada was the fielder at FSL, and he nearly claimed another dismissal. 44.1P Jayasuriya to Yasir Shah, 2 runs, was it a chance? Was a low full-toss and Yasir swept it straight into his bread-basket, but unlike Nawaz's dismissal, the ball popped out after hitting his chest, and he couldn't grab it on the rebound. 43.3 M Theekshana to Yasir Shah, no run, Theekshana tosses one around off, Yasir leans across and defends it to the on-side 12:33 Local Time, 07:03 GMT, 12:33 IST: The day started with a chance dropped off the first ball and ends with a techincal chance being shelled - but in between, it was a one-man show and it was Prabath Jayasuriya who has spun Pakistan into a corner. Babar Azam has held one end up, and he was lucky to survive a confident LBW review, but it's up to him to ensure that Pakistan get as close to SL's 222 as possible.

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, Live Cricket Score: 1st Test match, Day 2 at the Galle International Stadium.

Day 2: There was rain in Galle before the scheduled start time for the match, but it stopped before the start of the play. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. Sri Lanka vs Pakistan HIGHLIGHTS, 1st Test, Day 1: Pakistan are trailing Sri Lanka by 198 runs with Azhar Ali and Babar Azam unbeaten in the middle. But Theekshana played a defiant knock in just his second Test and put on 45 runs for the last wicket with Rajitha, unbeaten on 12. The pace spearhead struck in the third over of the day to send back skipper Dimuth Karunaratne for one, and leg-spinner Yasir Shah soon combined with the quick bowlers to have Sri Lanka in trouble after they elected to bat. Day 1 recap: Pakistan's Shaheen Shah Afridi led an inspired attack to bowl out Sri Lanka for 222 but the hosts hit back with two wickets before stumps on the opening day of the first Test on Saturday.

Chandimal settled under the skier, but the wind threatened to drop the ball in front of him, had to dive forward in the end and he does so, bringing up a smart two-handed catch. 59.4 Ramesh Mendis to Babar Azam, no run, flighted on middle, Babar gets a good stride forward on the block 61.3 Ramesh Mendis to Babar Azam, no run, the off-break now, Babar gets a good stride forward as he defended

Galle Test fascinatingly poised after 12-wicket opening day (ESPNcricinfo.com)

Sri Lanka fought back well, adding 89 runs for the last two wickets and then removing the Pakistan openers cheaply.

The pair would bat for over an hour, comfortably dealing with the short stuff the seamers threw their way, while also occasionally finding the gaps in the covers. At the height of their 49-run stand - which would be Sri Lanka's best of the innings - the hosts were going at around four an over. And while Chandimal would fall shortly after tea - caught in the covers courtesy an excellent take by Yasir, diving full stretch to his right, off Hasan - Theekshana and last man Kasun Rajitha would continue to frustrate the visitors. Had Chandimal had his way, though, he probably would have played a more watchful knock on a wicket that needed patience, even if it wasn't quite the raging turner Galle is known for. The zenith of his knock came when Sri Lanka were at their lowest, having just a few overs prior lost their eighth wicket. The first two were short balls disdainfully dispatched in front of square leg, while the final brought up his 22nd Test fifty, a delightful front-foot clip piercing deep square leg and deep fine leg that reached the ropes on the bounce.

10.4 Mohammad Nawaz to Rajitha, no run, beaten! Karunaratne needs this to be missing. 10.3 Mohammad Nawaz to Karunaratne, out Lbw!! Big wicket late in the day for Pakistan. This was a normal offie from Mohammad Nawaz, didn't turn much but did skid on and beat Karunaratne for pace on the back foot flick. Would have been not out if the onfield call was not out. Sri Lanka only managed a 4-run lead and just as Karunaratne and Fernando were seeing off the day with a decent start, Nawaz struck to get ride of the Sri Lankan captain to keep this in the balance again. Sri Lanka need a 250+ target to put pressure on Pakistan in the final innings.
