  • 55.1

    Sonal Dinusha to Mohammad Taha

    Wicket! Caught By Dhananjaya de Silva. No Run. That's the inexperience coming through! Was a tossed up arm ball outside off, looks to slog sweep it but top edges it straight up in air, three fielders were converging but Dhananjaya was quick to call for it and he eventually completes a good catch, Taha was looking solid but the only false shot in his innings has cost him his wicket.

    We are back for the final session of day 1.

  • Update

    2:41pm Local Time, 3:11pm IST : Another good session for Pakistan who were able to consolidate their advantage from the first session. The pair of Shakeel and Taha have already added 55 runs and they have looked solid throughout although there have been some plays-and misses. Pakistan's skipper Babar Azam began the session with 3 boundaries in one over against Madushanka as he brought up his 35th Test fifty although he departed shortly after that. Shakeel came in with his calm presence and he was able to dig in and play in his usual manner as he didn't looked rushed at all. Taha on the other hand looked solid as well as the duo focused on picking the singles and playing out the good deliveries. Sri Lanka did try different tactics with Asitha using his inward angle, Madushanka taking the ball away late while Kumara banged the ball hard into the surface. They were able to generate some plays-and-misses but none of them could result in a wicket. Milan Rathnayake has been the standout bowler so far as he has been able to hit the right lengths consistently. Join us in 20 minutes for the final session on day 1.
