Rawalpindi: Day three of the first Test between Sri Lanka and Pakistan was delayed due to puddles on the ground on Friday.

Niroshan Dickwella was scalped by pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi after scoring 33 runs.

Dilruwan Perera joined Dhananjaya de Silva for a brief unbeaten partnership of 7 runs before bad light forced early stumps on the second consecutive day.

For Pakistan, the only wicket was taken by Afridi.
