2nd Test: Bowlers put Sri Lanka on top against Pakistan

By Saurabh Sharma December 19, 2019 • 21:45 PM View: 1669

Karachi, Dec 19: Pakistan's decision to bat after winning the toss backfired as Lahiru Kumara and Lasith Embuldeniya's four-fer bundled out the hosts for a paltry 191 runs in their first innings even as Babar Azam (60) and Asad Shafiq (63) slammed respective half-centuries against Sri Lanka at the National Stadium here on Thursday. In return, the islanders ended the first day at 64/3 with Angelo Mathews (8) and Embuldeniya (3) at the crease.

While Kumara conceded 49 runs, Embuldeniya was a bit expensive as he leaked 71 runs from his 20.3 overs. Apart from them, Vishwa Fernando picked up two wickets for 31 runs.
