Saud Shakeel was edging towards a century on Tuesday as Pakistan reached lunch at 390-6 on day two of the opening Test against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 31-year-old left-hander resumed on 57 and added 34 to his score in an extended two-and-a-half hour session to be 91 not out off 192 balls at the break, nine short of his fifth Test hundred.<\/p>\n

Pakistan began the day at 281-5 and lost only Ghazi Ghori for 48 with Arafat Minhas 27 not out at the interval.<\/p>\n

Shakeel, who has so far hit nine boundaries, put on 96 with Ghori for the sixth wicket.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka had hoped for early wickets but on a seemingly hard and green pitch their bowlers struggled despite taking the second new ball after 80 overs.<\/p>\n

Dilshan Madushanka finally made the breakthrough when Ghori edged him to gully where Pasindu Sooriyabandara held a low catch.<\/p>\n

Pace bowlers Asitha Fernando with 2-87 and Madushanka (2-97) were the pick of the Sri Lanka attack.<\/p>\n

The second and final Test is in Lahore from November 17.<\/p>\n
