Pakistan set 271 to win

Sri Lanka have set Pakistan a target of 271 to win the second Test in Colombo.

After Mahela Jayawardene [54] and Kumar Sangakkara [59] had both been dismissed before lunch, it was left to Angelo Matthews and Dickwella Dickwella to boost the Sri Lankan second-innings total.

However, Dickwella was trapped lbw by Wahab Riaz shortly after lunch, while Rangana Herath, Thisara Perera and Chanaka Welegedara were all dismissed for ducks.

The only tail-ender to make any significant contribution was Dhammika Prasad [19], but he was run out by a substitute fielder as Matthews made 43 to help Sri Lanka build up a significant lead.
