Middle order puts Sri Lanka in driver’s seat on Day 1 of final test

Sri Lanka batted with grit and determination to take control of the deciding Test in conditions that promised more parity with bat and ball after the run-fest in the previous game at the SSC. In a much improved bowling performance, the Indian seamers got decent movement off the deck and Pragyan Ojha extracted both turn and bounce to often unsettle the Sri Lankan batsmen. But the Sri Lankan middle order of Thilan Samaraweera, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, kept the hosts on track in their attempt to post an intimidating score on a surface that looks good to produce an outright result.

Sri Lanka survive Afridi storm to beat Pakistan in Asia Cup opener

Sri Lanka managed to hold on to their nerves amidst a blistering century by Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi, who scored 109 off just 76 balls in what was undoubtedly the best innings of his career, and a brilliant spell of fast bowling by the returning Shoaib Akhtar, to come out on top in the opening match of this year’s Asia Cup, registering an exciting 16-run win over Pakistan to get the tournament off to a flying start.
