Pak vs SL: Sri Lanka bowled out for 166

Off to a rocky start, Sri Lanka was bowled out 166 runs in 48.4 overs by Pakistan on day one of their second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Monday.

Abrar Ahmed and Naseem Shah rattled the home side, with Abrar taking 4 wickets and Naseem taking 3 wickets during the first innings.  

The bowling duo went berserk on Sri Lankan batters who couldn't find any clue to settle down at the crease.

Dhanajaya de Silva tried hard to replicate his first Test's heroics here but he could only score 57 before falling to Abrar with Saud Shakeel taking a well-judged catch.

Abdullah Shafique once again took a blinder at short leg off Abrar to remove unlucky Sadeera Samarawickrama who got out in the same way for the third time in a row this series.

Ramesh Mendis resisted a bit with his 27 runs but Sri Lanka fell apart just before Tea.

Abrar bagged four wickets while Naseem managed three.

Shan Masood, with a brilliant throw in the third over, provided an early breakthrough for Pakistan in the opening hour of the first day. Nishan Madushka remained unlucky as the throw went straight to thrash the stumps on the striker's end.

Shaheen Shah Afridi removed Kusal Mendis in the seventh over to further dent the hosts who decided to bat first after winning the toss following a delay due to early morning rain.

It was not too late when Naseem promised to be real destruction for Sri Lanka as he took back-to-back wickets in quick succession. The right-arm pacer bagged Angelo Mathews and Dimuth Karunaratne within his two overs closer to the 15th.

Mathews (9) and Karunaratne (17) were two experienced batters who were the need for Sri Lanka in the tough time.

Dhanajaya de Silva and Dinesh Chandimal walked off at Lunch with Sri Lanka suffering at 79-4.
