Galle (Sri Lanka)—Pakistan had a day of typical
Pakistani cricket. Two of their debutants got
them off to a great start, but sloppy fielding
and a failure to keep a lid on the scoring meant
they hadn’t run away with the game. The Sri
Lankan batsmen, although never entirely
comfortable in the middle, kept
counterattacking, getting quick runs, making
sure they got themselves a fighting total on a
pitch that offered movement to bowlers of both
variety.
