Pakistan’s batsmen crumbled in a disastrous final session at the Galle International Stadium as they were reduced to 48 for 5 at stumps in reply to Sri Lanka’s commanding first innings total of 472 all out.
The tourists remain 424 runs behind Sri Lanka and need to score a further 225 runs to avoid the follow on.
Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara narrowly missed out on his ninth double hundred as he was left stranded on 199.
