PALLEKELE. – Shan Masood and Younis Khan compiled unbeaten centuries to keep Pakistan in the hunt for a landmark victory in the series-deciding third and final Test cricket against Sri Lanka yesterday.

Set a challenging target of 377 runs, the tourists recovered from a shaky 13 for 2 to move to 230 without further loss by stumps on the rain-free fourth day in Pallekele. Left-handed Masood, playing only his fifth Test, was unbeaten on 114, having reached his maiden century by lofting off-spinner Tharindu Kaushal for a six over long-on towards the end of play. – AFP.
