Pakistan made early inroads in a bid to win the first cricket test against Sri Lanka as the visitors claimed three wickets in the morning session of the fourth day Wednesday. Sri Lanka went to lunch at 94 for three. The hosts, who scored 312 runs in its first innings to trail by 149 runs, are still behind by 55 runs.

Saud Shakeel continued his strong run of form by posting a second century and helping usher Pakistan to a narrow first-innings lead at lunch on Day 3 of the series-opening cricket test against Sri Lanka. The left-handed batter was unbeaten on 119 as Pakistan reached the first interval Tuesday at 313-6, a lead of one run after a rain-affected morning session at Galle. After resuming on the overnight score of 69, Shakeel is now getting closer to his career-best test score of 125.

Pakistan’s pace bowlers Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi shared six wickets between them while Dhananjaya de Silva posted his 10th hundred before Sri Lanka was bowled out for 312 by lunch Monday on Day 2 of the first cricket test. Shaheen took three wickets for 86 in his return from a year out with a knee injury and Naseem returned 3-90 to help ensure Pakistan’s quicks outperformed the spin bowlers.
