Pakistan crumble to home test lowest against Lanka

Pakistan8217;s satisfaction at their success with the new ball was tempered by Wasim Akram having to leave the field after bowling just 2.1 overs, because of what appeared to be a groin problem.

Sri Lanka8217;s decision to put the home country in to bat paid off, as Pakistan went under their previous lowest in a home Test against Sri Lanka 8212; 209 at Faisalabad in 1995. Left-arm paceman Chaminda Vaas dispatched Saeed Anwar 23 and Aamir Sohail 0.
