Pakistan is in commanding position in 1st test match against Sri Lanka after day two.
Score
Pakistan 327 for 4 (Younis 136, Misbah 105*) Sri Lanka 204 Pak lead by 123 runs.
The two times Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan had batted together against Sri Lanka before, they had added 130 and 100. Today, they improved that stat further with a 218-run stand for the fourth wicket that flattened Sri Lanka after an encouraging start, and gave Pakistan a solid first-innings lead. The partnership came at a crucial juncture when the game was in the balance and ensured Pakistan took a firm grip of the Abu Dhabi Test. During its course, Younis scored his 23rd century - and sixth against Sri Lanka - while Misbah, unbeaten at the end of the second day, crossed the 100-mark for the fifth time in Tests.
