RAWALPINDI (Lord Media): Sri Lanka were bowled out for 446 in their first innings against Pakistan on the fourth day of the Rawalpindi Test, taking a 12-run lead as debutant Saqib Khan claimed seven wickets.

Sri Lanka resumed on Day 4 at 404-4 but lost their remaining six wickets for 42 runs. Dhananjaya de Silva top-scored with 167 runs, while Kusal Mendis added 119.

For Pakistan, Saqib Khan took seven wickets, Mohammad Abbas secured two, and Razaullah picked up one. Sri Lanka dominated Day 3 with centuries from Dhananjaya and Mendis, lifting them to 404-4 by the end of play.

Mendis became the first Sri Lankan to score a century in his maiden Test as captain. Their partnership set a record against Pakistan, surpassing the 207-run stand by Thilan Samaraweera and Tillakaratne Dilshan in Lahore in 2009.

De Silva, dropped on 38 by Saud Shakeel off Razaullah, capitalized on the chance, hitting 20 boundaries in his 246-ball innings. He completed his 14th Test hundred with a boundary off spinner Arafat Minhas.

Mendis reached his 11th century with a ramp boundary off Razaullah. Kamindu completed his eighth Test fifty before edging Abbas to wicketkeeper Ghazi Ghori, leaving Sri Lanka 155-4.

The second Test will also be held in Rawalpindi, starting November 17, after being moved from Lahore due to poor weather.
