1st Test Pakistan v Sri Lanka Match Ends in Draw

Karachi: The first Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka ended in a draw after some late excitement when the tourists lost quick wickets briefly raising hopes of an unlikely result here on Wednesday.

The tourists averted defeat after losing five wickets for just 120 runs, finishing the match with the score of 144-5 in their second innings.

Pakistan declared their first innings for 765 for 6, 121 runs ahead of Sri Lanka's total and the visitors made 144 for five from 31 overs in their second essay on the fifth and final day at the National Stadium.

The result of the match on the flattest of pitches was a foregone conclusion and the only interest left on the final day was whether captain Younus Khan would get past legendary Pakistani Hanif Mohammad's 337 or West Indian Brian Lara's world record highest innings score of 400 not out.

Pakistan skipper Younus Khan failed to create history as he fell for 313, 24 runs short of Pakistan's highest Test score of 334 held by Hanif Mohammad, made against the West Indies at Barbados in 1958.

Brief Score: Sri Lanka 644/7 dec (Mahela 240, Samaraweera 231) and 144/5 (Sangakkara 65) drew with Pakistan 765/6 dec (Younis 313, Akmal 158*).
