Sri Lanka completed a dominant victory inside four days at Galle, despite stern resistance from Younis Khan and Asad Shafiq.

Pakistan began day 3 needing 225 to avoid the follow on, with their most experienced and least experienced batsmen at the crease. It was undoubtedly Sri Lanka's day yet again, and Pakistan will need a big contribution from Younis Khan if they are to get anything from this match, even if it's just some pride.

Pakistan started day 2 in a good fashion but was unable to get the all-important wicket of Sangakkara who stretched the Sri Lankan total to 472. The Pakistani batsmen then couldn't respond in a fashion that they would have liked to.

Day 1 of the first test belongs to Sri Lanka without a doubt. Dilshan and Sangakkara both made brilliant hundreds and Jayawardene is also looking well set. Pakistan would be hoping for a much better day tomorrow than what they had to face today.
