Second Test, Colombo (day three):
Sri Lanka 240 & 171-3 beat Pakistan 90 & 320 by seven wickets
Match scorecard
Sri Lanka needed only three days to beat Pakistan by seven wickets in the second Test and win the series.
The visitors somehow lost nine wickets for 35 runs as they went from 285-1 to 320 all out in their second innings.
Sri Lanka secured the 171 runs they needed in 32 overs in Colombo to clinch the series with one Test remaining.
Fawad Alam hit 168 for Pakistan, while Younus Khan added 82, but the latter’s dismissal prompted a dramatic collapse, spinner Rangana Herath taking 5-99.
Opening for the hosts, Malinda Warnapura set up the win with a quickfire 54 off 56 balls, his seventh Test half-century.
Sri Lanka, celebrating their first home series win over Pakistan, will target a 3-0 whitewash when the third Test starts at the Sinhalese sports club on 20 July.
606: DEBATE"No-one does collapses like Pakistan"
BrainlessPathan
There was no sign of the drama to come when Pakistan reached 294-2 at lunch, as they looked to continue their recovery from their opening-day batting collapse to 90 all out.
Debutant opener Alam shared a second-wicket stand of 200 with skipper Younus, a record for Pakistan against Sri Lanka.
Younus lost his wicket just before lunch, top-edging a reverse sweep off part-time spinner Tharanga Paranavitana to the wicketkeeper.
But Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara’s decision to hand Herath the second new ball after lunch proved decisive.
Herath trapped Mohammad Yousuf lbw with his second ball and then ended Alam’s long stay at the crease as the batsman edged an easy catch to short leg.
Seamer Nuwan Kulasekara ended with figures of 4-37, winning lbw decisions against Misbah-ul-Haq, Kamran Akmal and Abdur Rauf.
Sri Lanka’s reply got off to a solid start as left-hander Warnapura reached his half-century from 44 deliveries.
Sangakkara (46) took up the chase until he fell with his team just 11 short of victory.
Mahela Jayawardene (37 not out) and Thilan Samaraweera (six not out) led the home side to victory.</p
