Ramesh grabs three to put Sri Lanka on top. Ramesh Mendis led an inspired Sri Lanka spin attack to leave Pakistan in trouble at 191-7 in reply to the hosts\u2019 378 on day two of the second Test on Monday.<\/p>\n
The tourists, who lead the two-match series 1-0, ended the day still trailing Sri Lanka by 187 runs in their first innings at Galle.<\/p>\n
Agha Salman resisted the bowling attack with his maiden Test fifty but fell to Prabath Jayasuriya\u2019s left-arm spin for 62 in the final moments of play before stumps was called.<\/p>\n
Jayasuriya got Salman caught at slip with a drifter coming into the right-handed batsman.<\/p>\n
Salman, who made his debut in the previous match, put on 46 runs with Yasir Shah, batting on 13, to lift Pakistan from 145-6.<\/p>\n
Ramesh rattled Pakistan\u2019s middle-order with his off-spin bowling on a pitch expected to turn more from day three onwards.<\/p>\n
Pakistan suffered from a lack of partnerships after losing first-match hero Abdullah Shafique for a duck and skipper Babar Azam for 16 on either side of the lunch break.<\/p>\n
Jayasuriya, who took 21 wickets in his first two Tests, bowled Azam on a turning delivery that got the edge of the dangerman\u2019s bat to crash onto the stumps.<\/p>\n
Imam-ul-Haq attempted to rebuild the innings with Mohammad Rizwan but Dhananjaya de Silva broke through with his off-spin to send back Imam on 32.<\/p>\n
