Sri Lanka 406 for 3 (Jayawardene 136*, Samaraweera 130*, Sangakkara 70, Warnapura 59) v Pakistan


On a warm day in Karachi, when Test cricket returned to Pakistan after 16 months, the Sri Lankan top order indulged themselves to reach a strong position by the end of the opening day. Mahela Jayawardene presented a visual treat, Thilan Samaraweera and Kumar Sangakkara accumulated steadily, and Malinda Warnapura thrilled with a breezy knock as the visitors cashed in after winning the toss on a perfect batting pitch.
There is something extremely graceful about Jayawardene's batting. Perhaps, it's the economy of movement, his ease, and the languid flow of his bat's movement that catches the eye. There was a delicious straight drive on the up off Umar Gul today that captured his innings in a nutshell. The ball landed short of a length outside the off stump. Sachin Tendulkar, or even Sangakkara, imparts velocity to such deliveries with a fierce thump at the point of impact, whereas Virender Sehwag would rely on tremendous bat speed. Jayawardene seems to just caress his shots. Today, he waved his bat forward to meet the ball with the middle and it sped away. And he did it repeadtedly through his innings to compile his first Test hundred against Pakistan, the only country missing from his list of centuries.

Pakistan 44 for 1 trail Sri Lanka 644 for 7 (Jayawardene 240, Samaraweera 231) by 600 runs


Mahela Jayawardene struck his first double-century outside Sri Lanka - his fifth overall - while Thilan Samaraweera went past 200 for the first time in Tests to bat Pakistan out of the game on the second day in Karachi. They feasted on an insipid bowling attack, rendered helpless by the flat pitch, and posted 437 runs - a Test record - for the fourth wicket. Sri Lanka eventually declared on 644 for 7 but Pakistan's batsmen may not have it as easy as the visitors did after Muttiah Muralitharan dismissed Salman Butt shortly before

Pakistan 296 for 3 (Younis 149*, Malik 56) trail Sri Lanka 644 for 7 dec by 348 runs

Pakistan's new captain Younis Khan hit a fine century and combined well with his predecessor Shoaib Malik to thwart a stiff challenge from the Sri Lankan spinners. On a pitch that got increasingly slower, Sri Lanka fought hard but Younis stood firm to lead Pakistan some way towards avoiding the follow-on.
Younis' innings said a lot about his character and batsmanship. You could describe it as 'typical' but that would be too flippant. His captaincy had been castigated for his first-day field settings, which allowed Sri Lanka to run away to a mammoth total. Today, Younis replied with his bat.
He defended a lot but didn't poke around. He slog-swept and reverse-swept but never looked desperate or too cheeky, as he often does in one-day cricket. He had occasional problems with Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis but didn't get bogged down. The loose balls were punished and Younis created run-scoring opportunities regularly with planned, calculated shots.
