Mohammad Yousuf continues to hit test hundreds, while
Ajantha Mendis continues to fail against Pakistan. The best

King Sanga erred in 18th over when he
gave ball to Isuru Udana, the foot soldier who
lost it for SL. Till that time Murali and Malinga had 1 over each left to ball. Had Murali or Malinga given the ball, there would have been a bit more pressure on Pakistan. 26 off 18 balls. And then it read 8 ...
