       Pakistan on the other hand have a tough challenge ahead of them,
        they need a highly improbable 369 runs to win, with the pitch
        starting to help the spinners, Murali will be the key and the

Match State: Delay - Day 5 - Rain

       And the umpires have called in the covers, probably as a
        precautionary measure as it's not raining that heavily at the
        moment, just few drops here and there.
       There is a ring of dangerous dark clouds looming large around the
        ground and things are looking ominous, players are back in the
        pavilion, we will take a short break and will be back with more
        updates as things move along.
       Update (05:45 GMT) - It has stopped raining and the covers are
        being removed, play should resume in the next 15-20 minutes.
       The sun is out and conditions are much better now, in all we have
        lost 13 overs due to the delay!

        Malik plays away from his body thi time, but offers a straight bat
        and defends it to the offside
  86.4 Fernando to Shoaib Malik, no run, a touch fuller this time and just
        a little movement into Malik, cut off the seam one would think,
        Malik defends it to the man at short cover
  86.5 Fernando to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, shot!!! that delivery was full,
        Malik had just enough room to go through with teh cover drive, and

        lets it through to the keeper
  87.2 Maharoof to Inzamam-ul-Haq, no run, mighty close this one!! good
        length delivery on the stumps, there's the customary jerk of the
        feet from Inzamam, plays down the wrong line and is rapped on the
        pads, there's a huge appeal but Umpire Davis is not impressed
       Television replays suggest there might have been a small inside
        edge on that occasion
  87.3 Maharoof to Inzamam-ul-Haq, no run, same delivery as last time

       Anguish for the bowler on that occasion because he thought Inzamam
        had misread the line and the ball had just managed to crash teh
        stumps, but it missed the off stump by a whisker
       Change in bowling now, its the master Muralitharan now
       Starts off with a slip, forward short leg and silly point
  88.1 Muralitharan to Shoaib Malik, no run, starts off with the customary
        off-break, Malik goes back and defends
  88.2 Muralitharan to Shoaib Malik, no run, quicker off break thsis time,
        Malik goes back and defends, but this time the ball rushes onto
        the bat, doesnt play it out of the middle as he did on the first
        ball

  88.6 Muralitharan to Inzamam-ul-Haq, FOUR, the top spinner from Murali
        this time, Inzi picks it right, and drives it past Fernando at
        mid-off, Fernando certainly had a chance of cutting that one off,
        but that was a poor effort and the ball races away to the long-off

       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.
