Kasun Rajitha to Abdullah Shafique, A run out appeal but Shafique survives! A fuller ball, outside off, nips a bit away. Shafique tries to push with soft hands but gets an outside edge to first slip. The fielder collects and hits the stumps at the striker's end and appeals. The replay shows Shafique was out of his crease but his bat touched the ground just in time.

Kasun Rajitha to Abdullah Shafique, Length and outside off. Shafique punches to the left of covers for a quick single. A little bit of hesitation for that run but the batters make it.

Sri Lanka on the other hand have been much better in this session but have the tendency of delivering loose deliveries that release the pressure. Prabath Jayasuriya and Ramesh Mendis picked up a wicket each but there is a lot of work to be done by them. The Pakistani batters have been too good in this fourth innings and the bowlers are finding it hard to create a chance. One opportunity did come their way though. Niroshan Dickwella dropped Abdullah Shafique when he was on 70 to a Dhananjaya de Silva delivery that was angling down leg. How expensive will that prove to be? Prabath Jayasuriya needs to step up as Dimuth Karunaratne is betting on him dearly to get the breakthrough. Lets us see if Sri Lanka will be able to come back strong in the final session. Join us at 3.00 pm IST (9.30 am GMT) for the third session of Day 4.
