Karachi, Dec 19:
Pakistan fought back after being dismissed relatively cheaply today as bowlers dominated the opening day of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Karachi.
Lahiru Kumara and Lasith Embuldeniya grabbed four wickets each to dismiss Pakistan for just 191 before the home team had the visitors at 64-3 at stumps at the National Stadium.
Kumara took 4-49 while left-arm spinner Embuldeniya finished with 4-71 after Pakistan won the toss.
But Pakistan staged a fightback with the wickets of Oshada Fernando (four), Dimuth Karunaratne (25) and Kusal Mendis (13) leaving Sri Lanka still 127 runs behind on the first innings.
