NEW DELHI: An unbeaten 94 from Dhananjaya de Silva and a gritty half-century from Angelo Mathews helped Sri Lanka to overcome a Shaheen Afridi-triggered top-order collapse as the hosts reached 242 for 6 against Pakistan at stumps on Day 1 of the Galle Test.
After captain Dimuth Karunaratne opted to bat, Shaheen Afridi ran through the Lankan top order, as the hosts found themselves reeling at 54/4 in the morning session.
