On a wicket which has started to assist the tweakers, it'll be imperative for the batters to remain positive and with Babar Azam out in the middle, Pakistan will hope for a better start today. If Pakistan are going to play the waiting game like this, Sri Lanka may get more chances with the ball turning and jumping big on batters occasionally. Prabath Jayasuriya to resume, a slip and a silly-point in place Kasun Rajitha then trapped Imam-ul-Haq in front and Prabath Jayasuriya sent Abdullah Shafique in a similar manner as the visitors ended the day at 24 for 2.

They have taken five wickets to put Pakistan right on the ropes and with nowhere to go!

86.2 M Theekshana to Babar Azam, 2 runs, loopy delivery wide of off, Babar went hard on the drive and squirts a thick edge, behind square on the off-side ...

Babar Azam has been given OUT LBW and he has reviewed. Was the off-break from Theekshana, Babar went back and across on the flick and missed, struck right in front of middle and was smashing into the leg-stump. Looks like a formality though, he was pinned right in front of the stumps, no bat and UltraEdge confirms it. In fact Babar was walking away as soon as he realised that there was no bat, gets patted on the back by his opponents for a job well done, so did the dressing room. In the end, the difference is a mere 4 runs and that sets up a second innings shootout. Naseem gave great support, batting out 52 deliveries himself, and ensuring that his team got as close to Sri Lanka's 222 as possible.

He became the first Sri Lankan and eighth bowler overall to bag three fifers in first two Tests of the career.

Pakistan was left tottering at 159/9 as they still trailed Sri Lanka by 63 runs in the second session on Day 2.

Amazing start to Prabath Jayasuriya's Test career. He became the first Sri Lankan and eighth bowler overall to bag three fifers in first two Tests of the career.

10.4 Mohammad Nawaz to Rajitha, no run, beaten! Karunaratne needs this to be missing. 10.3 Mohammad Nawaz to Karunaratne, out Lbw!! Big wicket late in the day for Pakistan. This was a normal offie from Mohammad Nawaz, didn't turn much but did skid on and beat Karunaratne for pace on the back foot flick. Would have been not out if the onfield call was not out. Sri Lanka only managed a 4-run lead and just as Karunaratne and Fernando were seeing off the day with a decent start, Nawaz struck to get ride of the Sri Lankan captain to keep this in the balance again. Sri Lanka need a 250+ target to put pressure on Pakistan in the final innings.
