Day 3: Stumps
11:26 AM
Update
16:16 Local Time, 16:46 IST: The weather wasn't looking promising at all since the hour, but they continued to play. Now it's gotten much darker, and the umpire took out the meter and decided to stop the game due to bad light. And there's the official news: the umpire has called for STUMPS on day 3. Another day, another early start, but the day belongs to Lank. Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva started positively. DDS was dropped at 40 by Saud Shakeel, and he never looked back. Abbas was the only bowler today to get only a wicket of the day of Kamindu, but Kusal never let them be happy afterwards. Kusal and DDS batted 60 overs and scored 249 runs together and scored 100 runs together. Never let the bowler settle down there; this was not the day Pakistan was hoping for, and we will look to bounce back tomorrow. Join us on day 4.
