Herath helps Sri Lanka stun Pakistan in series opener


Tue, Jul 7 Sri Lanka's bowlers engineered a dramatic Pakistan batting collapse to clinch a 50-run victory on
the fourth day of the opening test on Tuesday.
Pakistan resumed the day on 71 for two, needing just 97 runs with eight wickets remaining to win
the opener of the three-match series, but wickets tumbled from early in the morning session and
the tourists were bowled out for 117 in less than 45 overs.
Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath, who was rushed into the contest from English league cricket
after an injury to Muttiah Muralitharan, sparked the collapse with the wickets of Mohammad
Yousuf (12) and Salam Butt (28).
