First day's play in the first test at Galle completely washed out....

Finally under way on day 2 but 18 overs lost already today.

Silva hits a very important century....

Shafiq gets his century while sarfraz misses out with 96....

Maybe Pakistan will get a bit of a sniff here.

The sniff has become a scent. Sri Lanka five down, and not many ahead. Two sessions to go.

Wow, Pakistan have squeezed out an impressive win on the last day. 7-fer for Yasir. That defeat looks bad on SL.

But they recover today. Nice work from some new bowlers.

Chameera on his debut is described as fast, by cricinfo. Off spinner Kaushal takes a first day 5-fer in his second Test. I think he's the one the Kiwis got after last winter.

Kaushal 5-42...not bad.

Yasir takes a five-fer, but half-centuries from Silva and Mathews put SL in a commanding position....

Shehzad and azhar hit 60s....

Bit of a collapse by Pakistan to the second new ball. To the seamers. Can the Pakistan spinners make the 150 chase a tricky one?

A century for Azhar....
