Pakistan's debutants have put Sri Lanka 320 runs behind after two days of the first Test between the two sides in Rawalpindi. The second day was played on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Pakistan still have seven first-innings wickets in hand, meaning seven batters are yet to be dismissed in their innings.
Debutants in the spotlight
Fast bowler Saqib Khan is one of four newcomers in the Pakistan side. Match photographs from the second day show him bowling, while Saud Shakeel and Arafat Minhas were also seen in action with the bat. Sri Lanka's Pasindu Sooriyabandara was among the fielders during Minhas's innings.
The contest is still developing, and the two teams have yet to complete the match. Pakistan's new players have been the most visible feature of the first two days.
What the 320-run gap means
In Test cricket, a team trailing by a set number of runs has scored that many fewer than the other side in the innings so far. Here, Sri Lanka are the side trailing, so Pakistan's total in this innings is 320 runs ahead of Sri Lanka's. Pakistan's seven remaining wickets mean the batting side still has resources left to add to that lead.
