GALLE: Saud Shakeel’s unbeaten century propelled Pakistan into the first-inning lead over Sri Lanka at Lunch on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test.
At the stroke of Lunch, Pakistan were 313/6 with Saud Shakeel unbeaten on 119 while Noman Ali stood firm with a valuable 13.
Resuming at an overnight score of 221/5, Shakeel and Salman Ali Agha stretched their gutsy partnership to put their side in command.
The pair added 57 runs more into their sixth-wicket partnership before Ramesh Mendis provided a much-needed breakthrough to Sri Lanka when he got rid of Agha.
The right-handed batter had a disappointing end to his sensible knock as he fell just 17 runs short of his second Test century. His 113-ball 83 featured nine boundaries and a six.
