Colombo: The rain-hit second Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka ended in a dreary draw in Colombo on Wednesday.
The host leading the three match series with 1-0.
Sangakkara, who was stranded on an unbeaten 199 in the first Test at Galle, was dismissed for 192 after helping Sri Lanka avoid the embarrassment of a follow-on on the fifth and final day.
The hosts, who began the day needing 74 more runs to make Pakistan bat again, were all out for 391 in the post-lunch session in reply to Pakistan’s 551/6 declared.
Pakistan, leading by 160 runs on the first innings, made 100/2 in their second knock when skipper Misbah-ul Haq close the innings soon after tea to attempt an unlikely win.
The third test between both the South Asian countries will begin on Sunday.
