Shafique is fast establishing himself as one of the brightest young stars in cricket with his meticulous 160 off 406 balls over a marathon 524 minutes at the crease.
From start to finish the 1st Test was an utterly gripping affair, and when the heavens opened on the final day it seemed that the Lions were home and, quite literally, hosed. But the clouds broke and that man Shafique hung in there. Only three players in the history of the game have bettered the 750 runs that the 22-year-old has up in his first six Test appearances.
Jayasuriya, who took the key wicket of Azam with a spectacular round-the-legs winder, became the third bowler in Test history to take five-fors in each of his first three innings and did not deserve to be on the losing team. However, aside from the 30-year-old, the Lions' spin attack, that had made mincemeat of Australia earlier this month, suddenly fell quiet.
The opening Test defeat has seen the hosts plummet down the World Test Championship standings, but a series-tying victory would see them bounce straight back up.
