The second Test between Pakistan vs Sri Lanka in interestingly poised. Sri Lanka bowled Pakistan out for 262 on Sunday but paid the price for not enforcing the follow-on.
Wahab Riaz took 4/41 as the Lankans got all out for 96 in their second innings, setting Pakistan a target of 317.
However, Pakistan lost wickets on a regular basis before Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed fought back for Pakistan with gritty fifties. At stumps on day 4, Pakistan required a further 119 runs to win with five wickets in tact.
Sri Lanka, a surprise winner of the first Test in Abu Dhabi, can become the first team to beat Pakistan in a Test series in the United Arab Emirates if they don’t lose this second match.
Sri Lanka racked up 482 in their first innings at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium as Dimuth Karunaratne made a career-best 196.
