It was just a 14-minute and 16-ball formality for Pakistan on the fifth morning to grab Sri Lanka's last three wickets, dismissing them on their overnight total of 212 in the second innings
When the third day's play ended Pakistan were in a strong position with 395-2, having an overall lead of 315 after conceding an 80-run lead in the first innings
Abid Ali becomes the ninth batsmen and first Pakistani in the history of Test cricket to achieve the feat of consecutive hundreds in their first two Tests
Pakistan's 19-year-old pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi took 5-77 and was ably supported by new-ball partner Mohammad Abbas (4-55) to keep Sri Lanka down to 271 on a tricky National stadium pitch
A weather-hit draw failed to set pulses racing in Pakistan's homecoming Test match against Sri Lanka at Rawalpindi but Abid Ali completed the unique feat of scoring hundreds in both his ODI and Test debuts
Only 91.5 overs have been bowled thus far across three days in the first Test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and with the first innings yet to be completed a result seems highly unlikely
