Skipper Younis struggling to avoid follow-on


KARACHI: The fourth day’s play in first test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka is underway at National Stadium.

Younis Khan's unbeaten ton helped Pakistan fought back to save their first Test against Sri Lanka with a resolute display of batting.

The new Pakistan captain, who came under fire for his questionable fielding tactics that allowed Sri Lanka to amass 644 for seven declared, took his team to safer shores with an unbeaten 149. Misbah-ul-Haq (20) was the other unbeaten batsman. At stumps, Pakistan were placed at 296-3, still 348 runs behind Sri Lanka and needing 149 more to save the follow-on.
