Update
We are back for the Sri Lanka Innings..!1:55pm Ist / 1:25pm LT: INNINGS BREAK. Pakistan declared their first innings at 434/9 after a solid batting display, with five batters scoring half-centuries but none managing to convert them into hundreds. Debutants Tayyab Arif (57) and Mohammad Taha (51), along with Babar Azam and Arafat Minhas, made valuable contributions, while Saud Shakeel fell just seven runs short of a century and Ghazi Ghori missed his half-century by two runs.Sri Lanka would be pleased with their effort, having pulled things back after Pakistan looked set to cross 500. Asitha Fernando and Dilshan Madushanka picked up three wickets each, while Lahiru Kumara, Milan Rathnayake and Sonal Dinusha took one apiece. Sri Lanka have opted for a heavy roller ahead of their reply.
