Cricket
Pakistan's Test side achieved the rare feat of three debutants scoring half-centuries in the first innings of the Sri Lanka Test on 2026-11-11, only the second time that has happened in 149 years.
Tayyab Arif, Mohammad Taha and Arafat Minhas all made half-centuries as Pakistan built a commanding total. Saqib Khan took two early wickets, and Sri Lanka initially struggled before an unbeaten partnership offered them some hope.
