Tanmoy: "Perfect declaration from Pakistan. Unless they can lure Sri Lanka to go for the target, it wouldn't have been easy to get all the 10 wickets with about 120 overs. This is tricky for the visiting team. Can't just defend 150 overs. Game on. "
12.20pm Danyal tells me that Pakistan have just declared, setting Sri Lanka a mammoth target of 476.
12.00pm So that's lunch and there's no declaration yet. Pakistan went at nearly six an over in that session, making 160 in 27 overs for the loss of Azhar Ali, but not before the captain made a hundred. Babar has since become the fourth batsman to reach the landmark this innings, only the second instance of the top four each making hundreds in the same innings of a Test. What's the target Pakistan have in mind? Are they thinking In terms of overs or runs? We'll find out in about 40 minutes. Stay tuned.
