Sri Lanka were all out for 214 runs early on day five of the third and final Test against Pakistan, leaving the hosts with 59 overs to get the unlikely target of 302 runs in Sharjah.
Sri Lanka started the day on 133 for five, having played most of the match with a draw in mind due to their series lead. Angelo Mathews and Prasanna Jayawardene were in the middle and lasted for another 13 overs.
Mathews was out for 31 off 128 balls, falling to Mohammad Talha, leaving Prasanna to bat with the faltering tail. He made the top score of the innings, reaching 49 before being caught by Azhar Ali off Saeed Ajmal.
The spinners took the bulk of the wickets, with Ajmal and Abdur Rehman taking seven between them as they wrapped up the tail, all for single figures, to bring on the lunch interval.
