Sangakkara is a happy man, winning his first Test as captain and leading his side to 1-0 lead. Galle has yet again lived up to its reputation. The highest score to win a Test here is just 6 runs, and had Pakistan won this game, they would have achieved only the third-highest score in the fourth innings at this venue. What an opportunity squandered! They've lost by fifty runs after they were in a situation to win this comfortably. There will undoubtedly be a lot of introspection about this devastating loss. There were not too many demons in the track, it didn't behave all too different from the way it did yesterday but some poor shot selection coupled with a professional display from Sri Lanka's bowlers shut them out. BBC Pakistan on course for Galle win  First Test, Galle (day three, close):Sri Lanka 292 & 217 v Pakistan 342 & 71-2Match scorecard -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amjal (centre) had three more wickets to add to his two in the first innings Debutants Mohammad Aamer and Saeed Amjal took three wickets each to put Pakistan in command of the first Test. With two days left in Galle, they need a further 97 after closing on 71-2. Sri Lanka lost opener Malinda Warnapura in the opening over and though Tharanga Paranavitana hit five fours in 49, they were all out for 217 in the 57th over. Looks like Pakistan have unearthed another gem of a quick bowler in Mohammed Aamer snakepleskin</blockquote>
