The Day 4 of 2nd Test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka came to an end early due to low light after the visitors reached 89/1 at the Galle International Cricket Stadium. Sri Lanka have set a target of 508 runs after declaring their second innings for 360/8. It was second consecutive day the umpires were forced to announce the end of day's game due to bad light and weather. In the first Test, rain halted Pakistan's win for quite a long time before the visitors clinched a remarkable victory riding on Abdullah Shafiques' unbeaten 160 runs. However, it remains to be seen whether weather allows the game to end without any pause or rain plays spoilsport again at Galle.
