Pakistan skipper Babar Azam made a defiant 119 to thwart a Sri Lankan spin attack led by Prabath Jayasuriya on day two of an evenly poised first Test on Sunday. Azam single-handedly took the tourists to just four runs short of Sri Lanka's 222 as he put on a 70-run tenth-wicket stand with Naseem Shah, who made five not out from 52 balls, in Galle. Sri Lanka were 36 for one at stumps after skipper Dimuth Karunaratne fell lbw to left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz, for 16.
Pakistan took control of the proceedings on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle on Saturday. Star pacer Shaheen Afridi led Pakistan's charge with four wickets on Day 1 as the Babar Azam-led side kept Sri Lanka under the pump. Shaheen gave Pakistan the first breakthrough in the morning session as he forced Karunaratne to chop a delivery on to his stumps. Shaheen pitched a good length delivery outside off, and Karunaratne came forward to defend it, but ended up getting a thick inside edge, rattling the off stump.
Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah and all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz have been picked to play the first Test against Sri Lanka as the tourists announced their XI On Friday.

Nawaz, a left-hand batsman who bowls left-arm spin, will return to the side after almost six years.
