Dhananjaya de Silva struck a century as Sri Lanka handed Pakistan a mammoth victory target of 508 before bad weather hit the hosts' chances of wickets in the second Test on Wednesday.

Pakistan were 89-1 when bad light stopped play early and stumps were called on day four in Galle with left-handed opener Imam-ul-Haq on 46 and skipper Babar Azam on 26. The arrival of rain ended any chances of play, adding to Pakistan's hopes of a draw to clinch the two-match series, which they lead 1-0.
