Though Jayawardene, in his second last Test gets a big reprieve. He was declared leg before wicket by the on field umpire Ian Gauld, but when he challenged this decision, it was overturned by the third umpire. But after that both Sangakkara and Jayawardene played risk free cricket and put Sri Lanka in the driver’s seat after day of the Test match. Though it is looking like the match heading towards a draw. But cricket is an unpredictable game. It can surprise you anytime.
The Play has to be called off for the Third day of first Test between Sri Lanka and Pakistan at Galle due to heavy rain. Though the official closing time is 6 pm but because of heavy rain late in the day, the ground was flooded and no more play is possible today. Sri Lanka just lost one wicket in the whole day and is in the driver’s seat. Pakistan will have to take early wickets at the start of fourth day to get back in the game.
