Pakistan is currently playing its thrid test match against hosts Sri Lanka at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. The match is scheduled for 8-12 July 2012.
Sri Lanka, which has a 1-0 edge over Pakista, the second test having been washed away in rain despite Pakistan's brilliant batting, elected to field after winning the toss on 8 July.
And it was disheartening to see Pakistan's top order line crumbling for just 56/4, with two ace batsmen azhar Ali and Younis Khan sent back to pavillion for nothing. It was captain Misbah and Asad who stayed on crease for 40 and 75 respectively to regain hold over the match.
However, the visitors were all out for paltry 226, with Perera emerging as the top wicket taker for the Islanders, who sent back four visitors for 63, with five maidens. Herath took three and Kulasekara took tow wickets.
Coming to bat, the Lankans did not fare well either as by stumps thye had scored 44 with three of their bartsmen sent back.
Sangakkara, recently elevated to top position in the batting ranking replacing Chanderpaul was out for zero by Junaid Khan. Chandimal was alos LBW by Junaid for 8 and Jayawardene was LBW by Sami.
The Day-2 commences 4:30 GMT today with opener NT Paranavitana still on crease since yesterday at 13.
