KARACHI: Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera smashed double hundreds during a world record stand of 437 as Sri Lanka left Pakistan with a mountain to climb in the opening Test here on Sunday.
Jayawardene ended on 240 and Samaraweera struck a career-best 231 as Sri Lanka declared its first innings at 644 for seven, their best ever total against Pakistan, on the second day at the National Stadium.
Pakistan, which must score 445 to avoid the follow-on in its first Test in 14 months, was 44 for one at stumps with debutant Khurram Manzoor on 18 and Younis Khan yet to score.
