Player of the MatchAbid Ali
So that is it from this Test! There is one more game to go though and it is everything to play for in that one. Let's hope we witness a lot more cricket that we did in this one. The second Test starts on the 19th December at 0945 local (0445 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
Azhar Ali says they are very happy with how the batters batted. He also adds that the conditions were good to bat in and they made use of it, especially Babar and Abid. Further adds he himself was very confident but that has been his story recently, he has looked good but got out at the wrong time but he hopes to do well in the next game. States the bowlers need to be a lot more consistent, they are young and they will learn as they play more and more games. Ends by saying playing at home is completely different and he thanks the crowd to come and support them on a day where they knew a result was not possible.
Sri Lankan skipper, Dimuth Karunaratne, says he is pleased with how the team played. Further adds Dhananjaya and the two pacers who bowled were good. States they have a few positives heading into the next game. Informs Kasun Rajitha got injured and hence, he could not bowl further any overs in the match. Also tells they need to assess the wicket and come with a good plan in the next game. Ends by saying he would like to thank the fans who came in today and feels the Pakistan fans gave them good support.
MAN OF THE MATCH, Abid Ali, says it is a memorable moment for him and he hoped he could do well on his debut and he is thankful to the almighty. Further adds he was nervous but he enjoyed every moment out there. States he wanted to see off the new ball and then wait for the bad deliveries, he had plans of how much he wanted to score in every 5 overs and it went well.
A draw was never in doubt right at the start of Day 5? Well, what else can you expect in a Test match where only 167 overs could be bowled. Yes, it went all 5 days but except for the first and the 5th Day, we hardly had any play on the rest of the days. Sri Lanka won the toss on Day 1 and elected to bat, they put up a good first innings score with Dhananjaya being their star with a ton. He came out to bat on Day 1 and scored his ton on Day 5. The Lankans declared immediately after he got to his ton. Pakistan then had their chance to bat and enjoyed their opportunity. Especially Azam and Abid. Both scored tons and ensured the fans who came into watch the game, had their money's worth.
So out comes the light meter! The umpire feels it is not good enough to carry on and that is it from this Test match! Handshakes taking place out there. Azam is seen having a chat with a few Sri Lankan players and now everybody, slowly and steadily are walking off. The game ends in a draw!

FOUR! 100 for Babar Azam on his very first innings on home soil. He punches his fist in the air, takes his helmet off and has both his arms aloft. Best batter for Pakistan in recent times without a doubt. Also, it has been a very fluent innings by him. His third ton in Tests. He gets there by slapping this short ball through covers for a boundary.

Welcome back for the final session of this first Test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan players are out on the field and they are followed by the two Pakistan batsmen Abid Ali and Babar Azam. Both the batsmen are nearing their individual milestones. Dilruwan Parera to continue for the hosts after Tea.
... Day 5, Session 3...
A brilliant session for Pakistan! They have just lost the one wicket and have managed to score at a good rate as well. They lost Azhar Ali early but both Babar Azam and Abid Ali have racked up another excellent stand. The former is nearing his half ton and the latter his ton. The game is more about Abid Ali's ton now. Will he get to it? We will find out in sometime.

Lahiru Kumara To Abid Ali
MAIDEN TEST FIFTY! What a knock this has been from him. He has looked calm composed and settled out there through out his innings. Coming onto the delivery it was a back of a length ball outside off, Abid guides it past point and gets couple. He has 100 on ODI debut. Can he score a 100 on Test debut too? Thus becoming the first cricketer to achieve this feat.

We are back after the Lunch break. The Sri Lankan players too make their way out to the middle as they take their fielding positions. Out come the two Pakistan batsmen Azhar Ali and Abid Ali. Vishwa Fernando to start the session for the visitors. Here we go...
...Day 5, Session 2 ...
A good cricketing session this! Initially it seemed like it would be the visitors who would be the happier side but Azhar Ali and Abid fought back well with a 50-run stand. Sri Lanka struck early after declaring but that is the only inroad they could make. They did bowl well but the Pakistan batters were quite solid. More of the same is what Pakistan would like in post Lunch whereas, Sri Lanka would hope for a few early wickets. Join us in a while for the afternoon session.

Vishwa Fernando To Azhar Ali
Confusion and safe in the end. Ali taps one to the point region and the fielder there gets to the ball quickly. Abid Ali calls for the single but his skipper is not interested. Later on Azhar Ali takes off for the run seeing Abid Ali already half way down. The fielder from point has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Also Azhar Ali gets in with a dive. A single taken in the end.

Kasun Rajitha To Shan Masood OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Masood has been dismissed off a full toss! Rajitha himself can't believe he has struck on that delivery. Also, this time it is a legal ball. Masood slowly walks back and this is the perfect start for the Lankans. Masood creams this but does not keep it down. It goes straight to mid off where Chandimal takes a simple catch.

An appeal for LBW! Not given. On a length and around off, Ali looks to defend it to the off side but the ball keeps low and just takes the bottom of the bat. Vishwa Fernanado appeals but the umpire is unmoved. He then looks towards his skipper and Karunaratne calms him down. Replays later show that the decision of the SL skipper was good enough.

Kasun Rajitha To Shan Masood
Edged and taken! Has he or is it just short? Sri Lanka are claiming it and the umpire takes it upstairs. The SOFT SIGNAL IS NOT OUT! A length delivery around off, it angles away. Masood looks to defend but the ball goes off the outside edge and towards gully where Perera seems to have taken a low catch. An appeal but the umpire is not sure. He has a chat with the other umpire and then takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and guess what? Rajitha oversteps. No need of moving ahead as it is not a legal delivery. Also, the ball did not carry so it would have remained not out.
