Update
We are back for the second session!
7:42 AM
Update
12:32 PM IST, 12:02 PM Local Time: The first session is done, with Lanka batting tremendously well and settling in here in Rawalpindi. With only one wicket falling today, they have done amazing work. The day began with Kamindu and DDS playing nice cricket, but Kamindu fell short of Abbas with his proper length and line setup, and Kamindu got a nipping edge to him,, followed by DDS and Kusal Mendis, both right now having a partnership of 66 runs in 109 balls, well settled by both of them. On the other hand, Pakistan will look to have more wickets in their column ahead of the second session; bowlers are looking nice and touch with the line, but batters have outshone them completely. Stay tuned as we are going on a 40 minutes break!
