They took the lead courtesy fantastic double-century from Kumar  Sangakkara and a serene 91 from the captain who also declared the  innings just in time to have a crack at the Pakistani batsmen. And  Herath fetched one wicket just in time before the close. This match is  not as dead as it has tried to project for the last two days. Sri Lanka,  with a lead of 78 are right ahead with a win in their peripheral  vision. A couple of good hours for their bowlers tomorrow will be enough  to seal this match. It will once again be down to Misbah and Co to take  their team to safety.    All in all, a cracking day of Test cricket awaits us. A big factor in  bringing Sri Lanka to this position was Sangakkara. The batsman ensured  he completed the 200 that was there for the taking and in the process,  he went past Brian Lara to be second behind Don Bradman in the list of  batsmen with most double-centuries. He is fast creeping up on the three  legends ahead of him on the run-scoring charts - Kallis, Ponting and  Tendulkar - and it would be no surprise if he goes on to surpass all of  them. A modern day run-machine like no other. I will take your leave for  now and will be back tomorrow, hoping, along with all of you, to see  some excitement.</blockquote>
