Second Pakistan-Sri Lanka Test drawn
The third and final Test starts in Pallekele on Sunday with Sri Lanka leading 1-0 in the series following their 209-run victory in the first Test in Galle last week.
Earlier, Sri Lanka, replying to Pakistan’s first innings total of 551-6 declared, were 278-5 at stumps on the fourth day of the rain-hit second Test.
Tillakaratne Dilshan scored 121 and Sangakkara was unbeaten on 144, with Sri Lanka still 74 runs away from saving the follow-on at the Sinhalese Sports Club.
With two innings yet to be completed, the Test appears headed for a draw after bad weather on the previous two days restricted play to only 71 of the stipulated 180 overs.

Although test ended in draw but it has given us few conclusion. First Kumar Sangakkara is a world class batsman and we need a special plan to tackle him in 3rd test. Misbah can no longer be termed as a DEFENSIVE captain. His recent approach towards the game has been very very aggressive.
