Younis, Masood turn tables on SL: 3rd Test, Day 4 (Pallekele)

Shan Masood and Younis Khan came together at 13 for 2 in a chase of 377, and with the help of poor Sri Lankan bowling posted the highest fourth-innings partnership ever for Pakistan.

They now need only 147 runs to achieve the highest successful chase ever in Sri Lanka. Earlier, Mathews’ fifth Test century had stretched Sri Lanka’s lead to 376, even as Imran Khan picked up his maiden five wicket haul.

Pakistan 215 and 230 for 2 (Masood 114*, Younis 101*) need 147 more runs to beat Sri Lanka 278 and 313 (Mathews 122, Chandimal 67, Imran 5-58)
