Pakistan take control of first Test

Pakistan go into day two of their first Test match against Sri Lanka in the ascendancy.

Sri Lanka were bowled out for 204 runs on day one of their first Test match against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi earlier today.

It was the Sri Lankans that batted first and their innings was only saved by all-rounder Angelo Mathews, who made 91 runs before he was stumped by Adnan Akmal.

Meanwhile, Junaid Khan was Pakistan's most profitable bowler, having claimed five wickets at the expense of 58 runs.

In reply, it appeared that Khurram Manzoor and Ahmed Shehzad had got Pakistan through to the end of the day unscathed, but the former of the duo was run out for 21 runs after the final ball had been bowled.

Pakistan will resume tomorrow on 46-1 with a deficit of 158 runs.
