Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Sri Lanka in some trouble

Masood followed Abid by reaching his fifty, showing his class by lofting Perera high and handsome over long on. He soon reached his fifty with a double off Kumara. Responsible innings from the southpaw. During the course of the inning, he also completed 1000 Test runs!

Pakistan are on the move, with runs coming thick and fast. Ali, in particular, has been in splendid, capsulised by the glorious drives he crunched off Kumara. In desperation, SL also took a review against Abid fo an LBW but no no avail.

Abid finds his zone

Fernando continued to bowl too straight and duly got punished by Abid Ali. He also slog-swept Embuldeniya to the boundary boards, and reached his fifty with a double off the spinner. Hundred followed by a fifty. Abid Ali in his own zone.
