    2/6

    3/6

    Dhananjaya steals the show for Lanka

    Dhananjaya was the rock in this Lankan side. After adding 100-plus runs alongside Karunaratne, he went on to stitch an 82-run stand with tail-ender Ramesh Mendis, who returned unbeaten on 45. These two stands floored the visitors. Dhananjaya looked so assured during his stay and played the ball late. He brought up his 9th Test century, including a second versus Pakistan.

    4/6

    Ramesh Mendis deserves credit

    Credit should go to Ramesh Mendis, who came in applied himself. The message was to get quick runs and he did that with ease. He scored a 54-ball 45*, hitting five boundaries. The 80-plus stand helped SL gain a lead over 500.

    5/6

    Pakistan bowlers disappoint on Day 4

    Pakistani bowlers didn't have any momentum at all. They failed to tie down the Lankan batters and there wasn't enough pressure. It was a frustrating day altogether and Babar Azam won't be happy. They managed just three wickets and one of them was a run-out. Hasan Ali was smashed for three fours in an over by Ramesh Mendis.

    6/6

    Pakistan lose one wicket in reply

    Pakistan lost the wicket of Abdullah Shafique early on. He perished for a 51-ball 16. Prabath Jayasuriya claimed his wicket. Since then, Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam have dug in. They have added 47 runs and will want to show more character on Thursday.
