Sri Lanka's last two wickets added only 14 runs after lunch, as Pakistan limited their first-innings deficit
to 150, after it had threatened to be much greater at the end of the first day. Angelo Mathews, who had a let-off on 4, made it count, making 27 and helping the lead touch 150 with a slog to midwicket off the persevering Saeed Ajmal, but fell off the next ball, getting a leading edge to a doosra as he looked for a single to keep the strike. It was Ajmal's fourth wicket, just reward for having bowled unchanged through the day.
Thilan Thushara had earlier fallen soon after the break, trapped in front by Abdur Rauf, as Pakistan continued their resurgence after lunch. They'd taken seven Sri Lankan wickets for 76 runs on the second day; now it was the turn of the batsmen to continue the good work done in the field.
