Colombo, Jul 2 : Check live scores of day 3 from the second test match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan being played here in Colombo.
Pakistan have declared! About time, I feel. Good impetus provided by Rehman and Misbah. Shafiq and Adnan Akmal departed early but Misbah hung in there and scored his 17th Test fifty. The Sri Lankan bowlers have toiled hard and it is now upto the batsmen to respond. Join us in a bit for the Sri Lankan innings.
Paranavitana and Dilshan are at the crease. Paranavitana is on strike. Aizaz Cheema will open the attack
Four slips and a gully in place.
This is the second highest score by a team batting first against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka. The highest is 580/9 declared by West Indies at Galle in 2010. In that match, Chris Gayle blasted 333.
Right, the Pakistan fielders are in the huddle. The Sri Lankan openers will be looking to pile on the runs on a pitch that is wonderful for batting.
