11.28pm So Pakistan have then accomplished what they set out to do this morning, picking up the final four Sri Lanka wickets before lunch. Sri Lanka in turn have added 63 to their overnight total. Ramesh Mendis was the last man out, following a brisk 35, an innings that added a little gloss to what had initially looked to be a pretty underwhelming morning for the visitors, after they had lost both overnight batters - Niroshan Dickwella and Dunith Wellalage - within the first hour of the day. Overall, Pakistan will likely be the happier of the two sides, having kept Sri Lanka under 400, on what is still a decent surface for batting. While 378 is a competitive total, Pakistan will feel pretty confident in making some healthy inroads into that deficit by the end of play today. Sri Lanka will need to bowl well here.

Yasir Shah to RTM Mendis, OUT, Bowled him! This is the top spinner from Yasir on a length, 91kph, and it rushes Mendis, who looks to stay back and work this on the onside, but it's through him before he can get his bat down. And Pakistan have finally wrapped things up!
