- Their highest is 377 also against Sri Lanka.
- 342: It is the highest successful run-chase in Test cricket in Galle.
- 158: Abdullah Shafique entered the history books, scoring 158.
- It is the second highest score by a Pakistan batsman in a run chase.
- 171: Younis Khan holds the record of highest score in run chase by a Pakistan. It also came against Sri Lanka.
- The win helped Pakistan move to 3rd spot in WTC Standings.
However, Sri Lanka will be happy with how Prabath Jayasuriya bowled. Although he could have bagged his fourth consecutive fifer but he was denied when Rajitha dropped Shafique’s catch. That was also the turning point of the match. Sri Lanka still needed 44 runs and if the catch was taken, Sri Lanka might trouble the visitors. Yet, it wasn’t the case.

The visitors Pakistan started Day 3 of the first Test on a bright note as they continued their onslaught on the Lankan batters. Opener Oshada Fernando went on to score a gritty 64 while Kushal Mendis continued his fine form as he scored a fine 76. Mohammed Nawaz shone for the visitors after picking up a fifer.
Though the rest of the batters departed without scoring much, Dinesh Chandimal continued waging his lone war as he approaches his century. Sri Lanka ended Day 3 on 329/9 and therefore has a lead of 333. The first thing tomorrow that Chandimal will try, will be to score his century fast and extend Sri Lanka’s lead to the furthest.
