Heavy showers forced the groundstaff to cover the entire field at the Pallekele International Stadium. There were no immediate signs of the weather clearing up.

The match is well-poised as Pakistan reduced Sri Lanka to 44-3 after being shot out for 226 on the opening day.

Sri Lanka lead the series 1-0, having won the first Test in Galle by 209 runs. The second Test in Colombo was drawn.
