Younis century keeps Pakistan in control
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 06 - 11 - 2011

Paceman Chanaka Welegedara took two wickets with the second new ball, including that of centurion Younis Khan, to give Sri Lanka hope in the third Test against Pakistan at Sharjah stadium here Saturday.
The 30-year-old left-arm paceman dismissed Younis (100) with the first delivery of the second new-ball and then had Asad Shafiq (16) in the same spell to leave Pakistan at 282-6 at the close on the third day.
Sri Lanka, which scored 413 in their first innings, still leads by 131 runs and is seeking a big first innings lead to give it a chance of leveling the series after losing the second Test by nine wickets in Dubai.
The first Test in Abu Dhabi ended in a draw.
With just two overs to go left-arm spinner Rangana Herath removed Adnan Akmal, leg before wicket for seven to leave Sri Lanka on top.
At close, skipper Misbahul Haq, who reached his 13th half-century in the penultimate over, was unbeaten on 50 and with him Abdul Rehman on three not out.
The first two sessions had belonged to Pakistan as Younis added 98 for the third wicket with Azhar Ali (53) and another 100 with Misbah for the fourth wicket but Welegedara's double strike slumped Pakistan from 233-3 to 258-5.
Kiwis beat Zimbabwe
New Zealand beat Zimbabwe by 34 runs on a thrilling final day Saturday in the one-off cricket Test, overcoming a brilliant century by captain Brendan Taylor.
Taylor led Zimbabwe to 265-3 at the tea break, needing 101 more runs to pull off a remarkable victory at Queens Sports Club, but when he fell to the second ball of the final session the home side collapsed.
Zimbabwe's middle order and tail crumbled under immense pressure to be all out for 331 with less than six overs of the match remaining.
