(writes through)
GALLE, Sri Lanka, July 4 (Reuters) - The bowlers dominated the opening day of the first test on Saturday, with Pakistan slumping to 15 for two after Sri Lanka were bowled out for 292.
The visitors were on top for most of the day before Sri Lanka fast bowlers Nuwan Kulasekara and Thilan Thushara picked up a wicket apiece before the close.
Kulasekara bowled Salman Butt for a duck when the opener shouldered arms to a delivery that cut sharply off the seam and left-armer Thushara trapped Khurram Manzoor leg before for two with another inswinger.
Earlier, Tharanga Paranavitana top-scored for the home team with 72 while all-rounder Angelo Mathews contributed 42 in 57 deliveries.
