Sri Lanka removed Pakistan's openers early to gain an upper hand on the second day of the third and final Test at Sharjah stadium here yesterday.
Sri Lanka, seeking a series-levelling win after losing the second Test by nine wickets in Dubai, removed Mohammad Hafeez (six) and Taufiq Umar (19) as Pakistan closed on 35-2 in reply to their rivals' first innings total of 413.
