Sri Lanka took hold of the second Test against Pakistan after its bowlers came good Monday on the second day at the Galle International Stadium.
After being criticized for being unable to defend 342 runs in the first Test, the Sri Lankan spinners tightened their lines and bowled to good lengths to help the hosts to an 187-run lead in their bid to even the three-match series.
