Haris, Sarfraz toil to keep Pakistan alive

Dilruwan Perera struck in his first over


Pakistan took the Test by the neckline with six wickets in the primary session. Safeguarding 136, a frantic Sri Lanka pushed back with five wickets of their own, after lunch. Once more, a Pakistan-Sri Lanka Test that had appeared to be so terrible for a lot of its span, has been stunned into life, and hangs scrumptiously to be decided in the last session of the amusement. Pakistan requires 69 runs. Sri Lanka requires five wickets.

Haris Sohail and Sarfraz Ahmed appear to be settled at the wrinkle, having put on 31 unbeaten runs together. Be that as it may, Sri Lanka has one of the best fourth-innings administrators ever: Rangana Herath, two wickets to his name as of now, should add a couple of additional to his count, if Sri Lanka is to pull off a bombshell.

Pakistan's crumple was as much their very own consequence uncertainty, as Sri Lanka's aptitude in misusing it. Sami Aslam sent a ball to slip in the fourth finished, pushing at Herath without certainty. Not long after from that point forward, Azhar Ali had neglected to get forward to a Suranga Lakmal conveyance, and edged that conveyance to the guardian too. All of a sudden, at 7 for 2, what is in actuality a little target, had developed exponentially in stature, and nerves had well and really set in.


Shan Masood was then out bat-cushion to Dilruwan Perera, short cover jumping forward to finish an athletic takes. Babar Azam was dropped on 3 by Niroshan Dickwella, however soon gave the wicketkeeper another shot - this one securely ate up. With Asad Shafiq's wicket to Herath - the batsman playing an interesting combination of a slice and a safeguard to what was not one of Herath's better conveyances - the match may even have swung in Sri Lanka's course, Pakistan lessened to 36 for 5. The strained remain amongst Sarfraz and Haris has leveled the scales, maybe notwithstanding tipping them the other way, yet Sri Lanka in spite of the fact that with the bat they were resigned, Sri Lanka are battling now.
