PALLEKELE: Seamer Thisara Perera grabbed a career-best 4/63 as Sri Lanka bowled out Pakistan for 226 on the opening day of the final Test on Sunday.
Pakistan hit back to reduce Sri Lanka to 44/3 by stumps as left-arm seamer Junaid Khan removed Dinesh Chandimal and Kumar Sangakkara in the space of four deliveries.
Chandimal was out for eight, while Sangakkara was bowled for zero after making 199 not out and 192 in the previous two Tests.
The pitch had enough pace that confused the visitors and they have Asad Shafiq’s 75 to thank for getting the team past the 200-mark. (Agencies)
