  • 96.6

    Mohammad Abbas to Dilruwan Perera. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to silly mid off for no runs, fielded by Ali. Sri Lanka opt to declare to give their bowlers a run out and try to find some rhythm. Good decision with the next match just around the corner. Wonderful scenes from this morning as Dhananjaya finally made a century after beginning his innings on day one. Sri Lanka posted a decent total and now it's over to their bowlers. There will be some nerves around in the Pakistan camp as Abid Ali pads up for the first time in Test cricket. Perfect situation for him though with no pressure and he can take his time.

    Handshakes all round and that will finish what has been a frustrating Test match for all involved.

Maybe not the most thrilling of matches but hopefully things will be a lot different in Karachi next week.
