LIVE Lanka Premier League 2022: Galle Gladiators won by 12 runs

This victory must improve Galle's spirits. Not just because it was against the leaders of the table, but also because of how they were forced to respond. It appeared that an early conclusion was in the cards at 10:04 in the afternoon. However, fifty-plus scores from Thanuka and Nuwanidu helped them reach par, and that momentum also fueled Galle's bowling effort. It was undoubtedly a chaseable score, but Kandy never really got going in the pursuit until Karunaratne entered the crease; by that point, it was too late for them. He and Bandara gave it their all, but Galle maintained their composure to win the game.

Pakistan vs England 2nd Test: Harry Brook says THIS after winning Player of the Match

"I tried to learn from my mistake in the first innings. I wanted to put the pressure on the spinners and it worked. We knew before coming into the game that it is going to be a turner, they have been asking for it and there was a lot of talk in the dressing room as well, so wasn't surprised. We just tried to go out there and play our band of cricket, happy that it came off."

Pakistan vs England 2nd Test: Babar Azam says THIS after defeat

"We were not up to the mark in the first innings. There were a couple of soft dismissals but were well short of the mark. We fought back with the ball and bat in the second innings but it was not enough. There were a couple of good partnerships but in the end we did not finish well as a batting unit. It was a dream start for Abrar and he used the conditions well. Looking forward to the Karachi Test and we will do our best."

Pakistan vs England 2nd Test: Ben Stokes open up after victory

"Obviously different conditions and differently played games but fantastic to be a part of both the games. We had a look at the wicket and it was tricky against slow bowling, but as the game progressed the cracks opened up and our seamers came into the game. The way in which Jimmy and Robbo bowled in the series and our spinners as well, they are going to deliver more often that not (referring to him not bowling). Amazing debut for Abrar and many congratulations to him. He took 7 wickets but we were still scoring runs against him. I just look around and look at my options and see who gives me the best opportunity to pick wickets."
