Sharjah Test wrapped up with a Draw

On the eve of 4th day of Sharjah test, Sri Lanka were planning that they will set a reasonable target to Pakistan and will ask them to have their turn and try to bowled them up to level the series but the what we saw on the start of the last day of the test, drizzling at Sharjah ruined Lanka's plan.
Day begun after about 2 hours delay. Sri Lanka declared their second innings on 181/6 and give Pakistan target  of 255 within 61 overs. This fall of wickets will make it easy for you to understand how strongly Sri Lanka come up to dismissed Pakistan side within 61 overs to clinch victory
1-20 (Mohammad Hafeez, 4.6 ov 2-30 (Azhar Ali, 13.2 ov 3-57 (Younis Khan, 26.5 ov),4-77 (Taufeeq Umar, 41.1 ov)
But It was comfortable for Pakistan in the end, with Shafiq and Misbah stonewalling 16 overs in the fading light. Misbah even shared a light-hearted moment with Sangakkara as the match wound down, jokingly imitating a left-hand batsman.
