Sri Lankan cricketers on top against Pakistan

7:32 am on 13 July 2009

The Sri Lankan cricketers are on top after the first day of the second test against Pakistan in Colombo.

The tourists decided to bat first and were bowled out for just 90 with seamer Nuwan Kulasekera taking a career-best 4 for 21.

Sri Lanka ended the opening day on 164 for 3 in reply, leaving them well-placed to build on the 50-run win in the first Test at Galle last week that gave them the lead in the three-match series.
