Sri Lanka’s bowlers put Afghanistan to the sword in Colombo and in command to win Test – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE (eLanka Sports editor) Sri Lanka’s bowlers wreaked havoc on Afghanistan, bowling them out for 198, and then raced to 80 fo no loss on day one of the only Test at the SSC stadium in Colombo. It was a day out for the fast men as Vishwa Fernando and Asitha Fernando combined with spinner Prabath Jayasuriya to unravel a potent Afghanistan batting line-up in just over half a day to set up what appears a historic first Test win against the visitors. The Afgans were all at sea on a seaming wicket which was exploited by a resurgent Sri Lanka side that has been reshuffled to include some veterans who were overlooked for a while. Only Rahmat Shah who smacked 91 off 139 balls with 13 fours had ...

Sri Lanka’s batters find form to thwart Afganistan charge – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Sri Lanka’s batters found fluency at long last and it made the difference between saving face, and humiliation, as they sealed a pulsating 4 wicket win with two balls remaining against Afghanistan,  to level the series.  On a Pallekelle track that showed few terrors, Afghanistan led by prolific run machine Ibrahim Zadran who smashed a dominant 162 off 138 balls took them to an imposing target of 313.
