Pathum Nissanka Leaves Sri Lanka In Sight Of Third Test Win Over England

By AFP News September 09, 2024 • 07:37 AM View: 687

Pathum Nissanka's superb unbeaten fifty left Sri Lanka eyeing a memorable win over England as the third Test at the Oval headed for a dramatic finish. Sri Lanka were 94-1 when bad light led to an early close on Sunday's third day, needing a further 125 runs to reach a victory target of 219 that would end a run of seven successive Test defeats by England.

Dimuth Karunaratne was caught and bowled by Chris Woakes for eight when a drive ballooned off his pad.
