Pakistan make steady progress against Sri Lanka

Pakistan have moved their score to 85-0 at lunch on day three of the third Test match against Sri Lanka.

The home side began the day on 19-0 after being put into bat during the closing stages of Friday's play after Sri Lanka declared on 428-9.

Boundaries were few and far between during a pedestrian morning for Pakistan, but Khurram Manzoor and Ahmed Shehzad remain unbeaten on 41 and 42 respectively.

However, Pakistan still remain 343 runs behind Sri Lanka in a match that they need to win to avoid losing the three-match series.
