Galle: Pakistan’s Abdullah Shafique smashed his second test hundred to put the tourists on course to accomplish a massive chase. Pakistan finished on 222-3 needing 120 runs to grab the lead in the two-test series. Shafique combined with Imam-ul-Haq (35) in an opening stand of 87 and later raised 101 with skipper Babar Azam (55) in a vastly improved batting display by the tourists who were skittled out for 218 in the first innings.
