A tough day of Test cricket which saw Sri Lanka score at a run rate of two and a half runs per over, with Pakistan chipping away to ensure they weren't batted out of the match on the first day. With five wickets in hand Sri Lanka will be hoping they can reach the 400-run mark tomorrow to take them some way to securing the series win.
After bowling out Australia for 211 in the 1st innings, Pakistan got their 1st innings off to a shaky start, slumping to 111/4.
Asif Iqbal's presence at the crease brought some much needed stability to Pakistan's innings as he partnered with Haroon Rasheed, adding 94 runs for the 5th wicket. Javed Miandad walked out to the crease following Haroon Rasheed's dismissal with the scorecard reading 205/5.
Asif Iqbal and Javed Miandad added 115 runs for the 6th wicket and ensured Pakistan got a substantial lead. Asif Iqbal had scored 120 runs over his four-hour long innings
I want to know what ppl think about the two skippers as test captain, as far as test captaincy is concerned, i'm not a fan of them as both are defensive and pretty average, however i believe Dhoni is still better than Misbah.
Most likely bowlers for Pakistan's WC 2015 campaign will be Mohammed Irfan, Junaid Khan, Umer Gul, Bilawal Bhatti and Anwar Ali.
