Pakistani batsmen Sarfraz Ahmed and Asad Shafiq put Pakistan back on track on fourth day of first Test match against Sri Lanka today.
According to local media reports, Sarfraz, a wicket-keeper who relishes a challenge with the bat, scored 96 off 86 balls in a stand that was studded with 13 hits to the fence. Asad Shafiq gets to his ton, his seventh one in Test cricket and it has been a superb knock from him.
Sarfraz´s latest effort followed his impressive batting during the previous series between the two teams in Sri Lanka last year when he scored 55 and 52 in the Galle Test and 103 and 55 in the next match in Colombo.
Sri Lanka will be disappointed with the way they bowled today. Sarfaraz and Asad Shafiq led Pakistan`s fight back on the scheduled fourth day of the first Test in Galle on Saturday. The three-Test series will be followed by five one-day internationals and two Twenty20 matches.
