Sri Lanka have extended their lead to 165 runs at the close of play on day three of the second Test against Pakistan, having reached 177-2 at stumps.

The home side resumed on 91-2 after tea with Kumar Sangakkara [54] and Mahela Jayawardene [49] at the crease, and their partnership remained unbeaten at the end of the day.
