Arafat Minhas also hit 52 on his debut, one of five half-centuries in the innings.

Asitha Fernando (3-107) and  Dilshan Madushanka (3-108) were the pick of Sri Lanka’s bowlers.

Sri Lanka made a shaky start in reply, slipping to 104-3 after 23.3 overs and trailing Pakistan by 330 runs.

Lahiru Udara struck seven fours in his 42 off 52 balls before falling to Saqib Khan, who also removed Dinesh Chandimal for one.

Mohammad Abbas dismissed Pasindu Sooriyabandara for a duck, leaving Kamindu Mendis (31*) and Dhananjaya de Silva (21*) to steady the innings.
