But first, two Tests in the UAE. And I'm happy to confirm that Thirimanne will not be moving off bottom spot in the forum's global rankings any time soon.

A pretty even first day with Karunaratne run out for 93 and Chandimal unbeaten on 60. Yasir Shah becomes fastest to 150 wickets for a spin bowler(27 matches) beating Clarrie Grimmett.

CHANDIMAL COWAN AND DOUBLE COWAN KLAXON
Or are they Hameeds these days? I’m not sure.

CHANDIMAL COWAN AND DOUBLE COWAN KLAXON Or are they Hameeds these days? I’m not sure. Made 155 though. Sri Lanka finish on 419 and Pakistan start their innings well, the playing of Hereth will be the key.

Sped right up there. Didn't get his Faf. Sad. Another sparkling innings from Lahiru Thirimanne there.

Crikey. Could go to the wire, this! 85/6 right now...
Does that compensate for the early part of the Test being so dull though?

My fifth favourite cricketer spoils it all.
Somerset fans may now say how many wickets Bess would have taken on this pitch.

Herath's 400th test wicket and 101st against Pakistan according to the text commentary - that's a mad %

Hereth picks up the final wicket and finishes the match with 11, also becomes 14th bowler to taking 400 Test wickets.

This is a really interesting Test series, interspersed with long periods of tedium.

Third innings collapses are saving Test cricket.

The LO series has been pretty miserable thus far, but this is just funny.
