Sri Lanka 27-0 chasing 270 for win

Tharanga Paranavitana was unbeaten on nine and Dinesh Chandimal was on 14, with Sri Lanka still requiring 243 runs more in a minimum of 66 overs to take the series 2-0.

The tourists, who need a series-levelling win, declared their second innings at 380-8 half-an-hour before lunch as soon as Asad Shafiq completed his century.

Sri Lanka won the first Test in Galle by 209 runs, while the second in Colombo was drawn.
