Rain stops play with Sri Lanka targeting 153

Rain stops play early in day four of the second Test between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, with Sri Lanka chasing 153 to win.

Rain has stopped play after tea on day four of Sri Lanka's second Test against Pakistan.

Pakistan had set Sri Lanka a target of 153 to win but Sri Lanka will now only have one day to reach the total.

The day's third session was due to start at 3.30pm local time, but it was initially delayed until 4pm. The rain did not relent though and the third session was called off before a ball was bowled.

Day five will now start an hour early at 9.45am local time.
