KARACHI: Sri Lanka resumed their innings on the fourth day of Karachi Test at National Stadium here on Tuesday. Captain Younus Khan led Pakistan’s fightback with his 16th hundred to thwart Sri Lanka on the third day of the opening Test here on Monday.
The 31-year-old right-hander was unbeaten on 149 as the home team, replying to Sri Lanka’s mammoth first innings total of 644-7, were 296-3 at stumps.
Misbah-ul-Haq was the other not out batsman at stumps with 20.
Pakistan need another 149 runs to avoid follow-on.
Younus, leading Pakistan for the first time after he replaced Shoaib Malik following Pakistan’s 2-1 one-day defeat against Sri Lanka last month — his fifth Test as captain overall — truly played a captain’s knock.
He played the twin-pace and twin-spin Sri Lankan bowling attack with consummate ease. Younus pushed Sri Lankan paceman Dilhara towards third man for two to complete his century after four hours and five minutes of defiant batting — his fourth against Sri Lanka.
