Sri Lankan seamer Dhammika Prasad evacuated both Pakistani openers efficiently as Pakistan got off to a flimsy begin in the wake of choosing to bat in the first Test in Galle.On the other hand, a century by Younis Khan, of course his 24th in test cricket, restored the wobbling Pakistani innings to lead them to 261 for the loss of 4 wickets at stumps.
Previous Sri Lankan chief Mahela Jayawardene, who is resigning from the more drawn out arrangement after the two-Test arrangement, exited to field in the midst of blasting fireworks as school kids provided for him a gatekeeper of honor with raised bats.
Monster blurbs of the batsman, who is sixth in the unequaled scorers' rundown with 11,671 runs in 147 Tests, embellished the Galle International Stadium where in the range of 2,000 home fans were available.
Pakistan were lessened to 19-2 by the sixth over before a fractional recuperation helped the visitors move to 59-3 by lunch on the opening day.
Captain Misbah -Ul-Haq was the fourth to fall, for 31 runs. Notwithstanding of the early fall Younis Khan and Asad Shafiq directed the guests to 261 runs for the loss of 4 wickets at the end of play. Khan was unbeaten on 133 runs while Shafiq was 55 runs not out.
