A day after Yasir Shah brought back memories of Shane Warne's 'Ball of the Century' with his sharp leg-break to dismiss Kusal Mendis, Sri Lanka spinner Prabath Jayasuriya produced an absolute ripper to dismiss Pakistan's talismanic captain Babar Azam. Babar, well set in Pakistan's chase on Day 4 of the first Test, was beaten all ends up by Jayasuriya's brilliant delivery. The left-arm spinner, coming from over the wicket, bowled it on the rough outside leg.

Pakistan in the hunt to chase down a victory target of 342 in the opening Test against Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Pakistan ended day four on 222 for three, still needing 120 runs to take the lead in the two-match series at Galle, where the highest successful fourth-innings chase is 268 by Sri Lanka against New Zealand in 2019. Shafique, batting on 112, and skipper Babar Azam, who made 55, put together 101 runs for the third wicket but spinner Prabath Jayasuriya broke through just a few overs before the close of play. Jayasuriya bowled talisman Azam with his left-arm spin around the batsman's legs with a delivery that spun sharply from outside leg to rattle the stumps of the right-hander, who looked visibly shocked. Wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan was batting on seven at stumps alongside Shafique, who had so far faced 289 balls and hit five boundaries and one six.
