Sri Lanka were left fighting to save the first test against Pakistan on the third day in Abu Dhabi yesterday, still trailing by 108 runs at tea.
Opener Dimuth Karunaratne was bowled by paceman Junaid Khan for 24 before Kaushal Silva (32) and Kumar Sangakkara (14) as Sri Lanka reached tea at 71-1, having started their second innings with a 179-run deficit.
Pakistan were bowled out for 383 an over before lunch, after Sri Lanka had set a first innings total of 204.

Sri Lanka’s pace and spin attack led the comeback in the first session as Pakistan lost their last six wickets for just 54 runs after resuming the day at 327-4.
