Second day of the 2nd test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka was just like a replica of the first test at Karachi with runs showering all the way. Samaraveera could find his consecutive double ton in the tour and Dilshan also went beyond century to pile up a mammoth score of 606 in the first innings which was bent to a halt by Gul (6/135). Pakistan seemed less bothered of the heavy score and took off with a blistering start and at stumps were at 110/1 with the loss of Butt for 48 and Manzoor being unconquered at 59.

Sri Lanka walked into the 2nd test against Pakistan with a clear objective of wrapping it but faced early blows on the hands of Umar Gul as they lost 3 early wickets. Sangakkara and refurbished Samaraveera stood for more than 200 runs together and both hit tons to ice the cake for the visitors on the first day. At stumps SL score remained a well constructed 317/4 though their valuable pair was broken late. Gul took home 3 out of the total 4 wickets fell on 1st day.

1553 runs scored over 5 days and only 18 wickets claimed. That certainly was not the best advertisement for Test cricket. Quite naturally not even 1500 spectators turned out to watch the 1st test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Karachi that ended in a dull, dreary draw on Wednesday.

The last day of the match was interesting and full of excitement. Pakistan had huge expectations for Younis Khan to get past Brian Lara’s record of 400 not out. This didn’t happen as Fernando cleaned up Younis Khan earlier in the day and dismissed him for 313 runs. Pakistan was disappointed at this but Younis Khan received praises all around the ground.
