Pakistan has a wonderful chance to secure a historic victory in the third Test against Sri Lanka.
Younis Khan and Shaan Masood both deserve enormous credit for the manner in which they played. Shaan Masood and Younis Khan came together at 13 for 2 in a chase of 377, and the unbroken 217-run stand between Masood and Younus is already a Pakistan record for the fourth innings of a Test, surpassing the 212-run stand between Javed Miandad and Mudassar Nazar against New Zealand.
The duo responded with the highest fourth-innings partnership ever for Pakistan. Now Pakistan has entered the final day’s play on Tuesday needing a further 56 runs in hand on a wearing but easy-paced pitch at the Pallekele International Stadium.
Pakistan’s most veteran players Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq are on ground to mark the historic win against Sri Lanka.
If Pakistan wins, it will be the first time a visiting team will have scored more than 300 runs in the fourth innings to win a Test on Sri Lankan soil.
