Commentary

That's it from me, Srivathsa for now. Until the second Test which starts at the PSS in Colombo on the 12th of July, I sign off wishing everyone well.. Goodbye..

Interesting facts: This is only the fourth Test Sri Lanka have won without Murali since his debut. Also SL have never won a home Test series against Pakistan so far.

Herath: So happy with the way that I bowled. No jet lag as I had a whole day's rest when SL were batting. I had to perform well whenever given an opportunity. I've played with him (Sangakkara) for 3-4 years..he asked me to bowl normally...I got him out (Yousuf) 2 times before..I knew I could get him get again.

Sangakkara: It has been a great week, I was back home for the birth of my twins, you cant top that feeling. The wicket has been fantastic for Test cricket, would like to commend everyone, Mahela had to baby sit me through out the match. It is nice that bringing Herath from England has worked out. Would like to work on our batting for the second Test, work on where our off stump is and also the channels we need to bowl on.

Younis Khan: We did not think we will lose the game, main thing is that we did not have partnerships. All credit to Sanga and their boys, they put us under a lot of pressure. Batting first or second does not matter on this wicket. The series is still wide open.
