On the first day of the second Test in Galle on Sunday, Dinesh Chandimal scored his fourth consecutive half-century to help Sri Lanka reach its goal before Pakistan rallied with late wickets.
Chandimal, who scored 80 runs, formed significant partnerships, such as a 75-run fourth-wicket stand with Angelo Mathews, who failed to reach fifty in his historic 100th Test.
Play was suspended for the day due to poor lighting after Sri Lanka reached 315 for 6, having chosen to bat first in an effort to avenge their series-opening defeat.After pace bowler Naseem Shah hit with the second new ball, wicketkeeper-batsman Niroshan Dickwella (on 42) and debutant Dunith Wellalage (on 6) were still in the batting order.
