Sri Lanka, trailing Pakistan by 117 runs on the first innings, were 63 for two in their second knock at stumps on the fourth day of the first Test on Saturday.
Dimuth Karunaratne was unbeaten on 36 and nightwatch Dilruwan Perera had yet to score after Pakistan removed Kaushal Silva (five) and Kumar Sangakkara (18) in the 21 overs before close in Galle.
Pakistan, replying to Sri Lanka’s 300, made 417 after Asad Shafiq scored 131 and shared a sixth-wicket stand of 139 with Sarfraz Ahmed (96) and 101 for the ninth with tail-ender Zulfiqar Babar, who hit 56 off 60 balls.
Pakistan’s last five wickets put on 321 runs after the top five had fallen for 96.

Going grey? A stylist's advice
If you’re going to go grey, a great style, well-cared for hair (in a sleek, classy style, like a bob), and a young spirit and attitude go a long way, says Maria Dowling, founder of the Maria Dowling Salon in Dubai.
It’s easier to go grey from a lighter colour, so you may want to do that first. And this is the time to try a shorter style, she advises. Then a stylist can introduce highlights, start lightening up the roots, and let it fade out. Once it’s entirely grey, a purple shampoo will prevent yellowing.
“Get professional help – there’s no other way to go around it,” she says. “And don’t just let it grow out because that looks really bad. Put effort into it: properly condition, straighten, get regular trims, make sure it’s glossy.”
