Sri Lanka gives Pakistan a tough target of 377 runs for victory with the help of
Angelo Mathews who hits his fifth test century in the series-decider third and
final match at Pallekele on Monday. Sri Lanka resumed their second innings on
228-5 and were all dismissed for 313 with Mathews was the last man out after
playing a captain’s innings of 122. Pakistan fast bowler Imran Khan claimed his
first five-wicket haul after destroying the bottom half of the Sri Lankan
batting with the second new ball. Mathews being on 77 overnight added 117 for
the sixth wicket partnership with Dinesh Chandimal to extend the team’s lead.

Sri lankan skipper bound the middle order
together in the absence of Kumar Sangakkara after Rahat Ali had led Pakistan to
limit the hosts to 35-3 on the third day. Mathews escaped a run out chance when
he was on 88 and surpassed a three-figure mark. Imran dismissed Chandimal after
Misbah took the new ball when it was offered. Imran Khan dismissed Kaushal and
Suranga Lakmal before he was on a hat-trick when he got Dhammika Prasad edge
behind but Kaushal blocked the delivery successfully. The last man removed by
him was Mathews after a 252-ball knock.
