Pakistan snatch third Test win to draw series against Sri Lanka

Pakistan have drawn the three-Test series against Sri Lanka in the United Arab Emirates thanks to a dramatic victory in Sharjah.

Sri Lanka opened up a first-innings lead of 87 but were then bowled out for just 214 in the second innings, with none of their batsmen achieving a 50 or more.

That left Pakistan requiring 302 runs in the final two sessions of the Test on day five, something that they achieved with just a couple of overs remaining.

They reached 107-3 at tea before Azhar Ali achieved his century in the final session to guide Pakistan towards victory.

Captain Misbah-ul-Haq saw them home by reaching 68 not out by the end and hitting the winning run to spark jubilant scenes in the Pakistan camp.
