Pakistan have defeated Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the first Test between the two nations, mainly in part to a brilliant bowling display by Yasir Shah.
Sri Lanka were bowled out for 206 in their second innings, after being 132-3, with Shah taking 7-76.
The teams went in early for teawith Sri Lanka setting a target of just 90 runs, and when they returned, Mohammad Hafeez and Ahmed Shehzad hit 46 and 43 respectively to emphatically beat their opponents.
The hosts were 132-3 when Wahab Riaz ended the stand between Lahiru Thirimanne and Dimuth Karunaratne before lunch. Angelo Mathews got a contentious decision immediately after the break before the rest of the order collapsed.
The second Test will be at Colombo and starts on Thursday, June 15.
