Shoaib Malik 148* (369b 21x4 2x6) Abdul Razzaq 20* (31b 4x4)
And on that note, with the mandatory overs completed, play is
called off by mutual consent of both captains.
And the first Test ends in a draw.
Lankan bowlers tried their best on a dead track but some sensible
batting from Malik and Iqbal kept them at bay, they batted
beautifully throughout the crucial first session and the second
session,
Maharoof picked up Iqbal with the second new ball but Inzi joined
in continued on with the good work
Shoaib Malik went on to make his first Test century, in all he
played 369 balls and occupied the crease for more than four
sessions, in the end it turned out to be a match saving innings
and for that he gets a special award, Kumar Sangakkara bags the
Man of the Match award.
We hoped you have enjoyed the coverage, second Test starts on the
3rd of April, until then it's good bye from all of us here -
thanks for being with us.
