After the match, Pakistan's Test skipper Babar Azam was asked whether he would consider the day-night format for the next match, which will be in Rawalpindi as well. The second match was about to take place in Lahore, but it has been moved to Rawalpindi amid growing concerns over daylight.
Suddenly, a match with a pink ball will cause trouble for them, as there are not many days left before the second Test match against Sri Lanka. The 1st Test match ended today, on November 13, and Day 1 of the second match will be on November 17, at the same venue.
Babar Azam demands more time before a day-night Test match
"I think it's a good option, but it requires proper preparation. We play with the red ball throughout the year, so suddenly switching to the pink ball within a couple of days doesn't give a Test team enough time to prepare adequately. It is certainly an interesting option, and if we have more time to prepare for it, it could be a different ball game altogether," Babar Azam told the broadcaster.
Sri Lankan batter fought well against Pakistan
Sri Lanka was under pressure when Pakistan started to bowl. With the new ball in hand, the home team bowlers took two wickets early in Sri Lanka's innings. The visitors started their fight-back with the help of their middle-order batters.
In the second innings, the bowlers from the island nation delivered a few well-timed spells as well. Pakistan eventually lost eight wickets in the innings for 284 runs before the end of Day 5. Babar Azam scored 34 runs in this phase of the game.
