Sri Lanka head coach Chris Silverwood harped on the need to improve their fielding after dropping at least three simple chances in the first Test against Pakistan. “There are certain areas that we need to improve on, fielding being one of them," Silverwood said one day before the second Test, in Colombo (SSC). “There’s no hiding from it – we need to improve our fielding. There's progression in that department. We analysed the last Test match, and if we're honest, I think we fell short in all three departments. I think it’s part of learning as a group, we have to be honest with ourselves and reflect inwards. Without pointing fingers out we have to be honest with ourselves.”


All-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva was the sole shining light for the Lankans in the first Test, scoring a century and a fifty in the Test match. Pakistan, on the other hand, will look to complete a rare series whitewash and maintain their top position in the current cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC).
