Sri Lanka were 63-2 in their second knock at stumps, having lost first-innings centurion Kaushal Silva (five) and star batsman Kumar Sangakkara (18) in the 21 overs before close. Azhar Ali caught Silva at third slip off Wahab Riaz and later snapped up Sangakkara at short-leg off Yasir Shah. Opener Dimuth Karunaratne was unbeaten on 36 and nightwatchman Dilruwan Perera had yet to score as Sri Lanka enter the final day's play on Sunday still trailing by 54 runs with eight wickets in hand.
Yasir Shah picked up a wicket off the first ball of the day by sending back night-watchman Dilruwan Perera for a duck. The batsman shouldered arms to a straight delivery and was bowled. Sri Lanka slipped to 63/3.
