Pakistan fought back on day two of the first Test against Sri Lanka, thanks to a counter-attacking partnership between Saud Shakeel and Agha Salman.

But they refused to let the pressure get to them, instead playing with a positive intent that helped them to score at a brisk pace. Shakeel hit 69 off 88 balls, while Agha made 61 off 84 balls, and the two batsmen put on a show of aggressive batting that caught Sri Lanka’s bowlers off guard.
