Pakistan had a day of typical Pakistani cricket. Two of their debutants got them off to a great start, but sloppy fielding and a failure to keep a lid on the scoring meant they hadn’t run away with the game. The Sri Lankan batsmen, although never entirely comfortable in the middle, kept counterattacking, getting quick runs, making sure they got themselves a fighting total on a pitch that offered movement to bowlers of both variety.
With both Pakistan openers gone, the middle order will have some work to do. Those 2 early wickets in the Pakistan innings are making Sri Lanka’s total of 292 look very good.
