Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 2nd Test Day 5 Highlights
Prabath Jayasuriya starred with a five-wicket haul as Sri Lanka won the match by 246 runs. The two-Test series ended 1-1.

Jayasuriya got Agha Salman out for four at the stroke of lunch in Galle to leave Pakistan needing an inconceivable 320 to win, or to ride out the last two sessions for a draw and a 1-0 series victory. The tourists were 188 for five with Azam batting on 76 after four wickets fell in the morning session. Pakistan resumed on 89. Off-spinner Ramesh Mendis struck on his first ball of the day to get Imam-ul-Haq caught behind, with the left-handed batsman adding just three to his overnight 46.

Jayasuriya, who took one wicket on day four, cut short Mohammad Rizwan's stay on 35 with his left-arm spin. Fawad Alam was run out for one. The hosts are racing against time to bowl the opposition out and level the two-Test series with overcast conditions and looming rain a threat in the port city, after bad light bringing early ends to days three and four.
