Pakistan were flawless today and played aggressive cricket. They charged selected bowlers and squeeze the maximum out of it. With their fierce stance, they stretched 12 runs lead to 397 runs lead in just a day of Test cricket and overall, it was a day of utter domination from Pakistan.
Agha Salman’s second Test century, Saud Shakeel’s record-setting half-century, Abdullah Shafique’s first double hundred, and more highlights made the visitors delighted. The Sri Lankan team was let down by their batsmen on the first day, but today they made mistakes with the ball.
It’s reasonable to say that they have been batted out of the Test, and their only option now is to continue to bat for a very long time in the hopes of salvaging a draw. Pakistan might declare overnight or they might play for one more session and extend their lead over 450 and then declare.

SL vs PAK Day 4 Pitch Report
An obvious flat track! The Sinhalese Sports Club Ground offers a batsman-friendly surface where spinners may effectively contribute by extracting turn and bounce right from day 1. On this field, bats who can successfully handle spin have an edge in terms of scoring significant runs.
The stump line is breaking down and the pitch appears to be dry. Spin will become more crucial as a result of the wear and tear that these footmarks. The Pacers may pose a threat if the balls land in those regions.
