Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 1st Test Day 2 Live Score Updates: Sri Lanka Aim To Keep Pakistan Under The Pump

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 1st Test Day 2 Live Score Updates:Pakistan will resume their innings on the second day of the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka at the score of 24 for 2 at the Galle International Stadium. The visitors were in the driver's seat when they had bundled out Sri Lanka for 222 runs with the help of Shaheen Afridi's 4 for 58, but the hosts bounced back beautifully and reduced Pakistan to 24 for 2 before the umpires called for Stumps on the first day. Azhar Ali (3 not out) and Babar Azam (1 not out) will resume the Pakistan innings on Sunday. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Pakistan trail by 198 runs. It looks like a huge score on this pitch where it’s hard to bat on. It will test the batters' ability to play the spin and the defensive technique may not work all the time on this wicket as the demons are live and Sri Lanka will have nothing but spin from both ends. Both the batters are relatively new so Sri Lanka will hope to make early inroads while Pakistan will need a big partnership and some disciplined batting to block things out, especially from the current pair of Babar Azam and Azhar Ali. An interesting Day 2 is ahead of us and let’s hope the rain stays away from the action. Stay tuned for further updates.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the action on Day 2 of the 1st Test match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan. The pitch at Galle is not what batters enjoyed the most and now the Pakistani batters have to grind hard to battle through these testing conditions. They have already lost both the openers cheaply and the batters at the crease will have to deal with more spin on Day 2.

… Day 2, Session 1 …

So, Pakistan still trail by 198 runs. Still, a long way to go in this match but Sri Lanka will attack Day 2 with spinners
