Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, Second Test, Day 2 Live Updates And Live Score: On Day 2, Sri Lanka are steadily progressing towards a 400-plus total in the first innings. Dinesh Chandimal and Oshada Fernando hit half-centuries to drive Sri Lanka's total before Pakistan hit back with wickets to share the opening day honours in the second Test on Sunday. Chandimal, who hit 80, put on key partnerships including a 75-run fourth-wicket stand with Angelo Mathews, who fell short of fifty in his landmark 100th Test.

Mohammad Nawaz (17-2-71-2) is back on.

Lovely bowling! Nice bit of
