Test ends in a draw

KUMAR Sangakkara compiled his eighth double hundred in tests and with able support from Prasanna Jayawardene salvaged a draw for Sri Lanka on the final day of the opening cricket test against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, yesterday. Sri Lanka survived some nervous moments at the closing stages of its second innings before being all out for 483 to set Pakistan a victory target of 170 from 21 overs. Pakistan decided against the chase and reached 21 for one, with the loss of double centurion in the first innings, Taufeeq Umar, when stumps were drawn. Sangakkara (211) and Jayawardene (120), both unbeaten overnight, batted resolutely to add 201 for the sixth-wicket.
