Saud Shakeel's unbeaten double century (208) put Pakistan in a commanding position in the first Test against Sri Lanka at the end of Day 3 at Galle International Stadium, here on Tuesday.

Shakeel completed a double hundred while batting alongside No.11 Abrar Ahmed and remained unbeaten on 208 when the last wicket fell. Pakistan took a decisive 149-run lead that could prove to be crucial as the Test goes on.
