A remarkable maiden Test hundred by Ibrahim Zadran helped Afghanistan recover in the one-off SL vs AFG Test in Colombo, as the tourists ended day three on 199 for one on Sunday.

Afghanistan had to show fight in their second dig after being shot out for 198 in the first innings to concede a lead of 241. Ibrahim went past his previous best Test score of 87 and then completed his maiden Test hundred in the last over of the day with a single to covers, leaving him unbeaten on 101. It is only the fourth Test hundred by an Afghan.
