(Reuters) - Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah claimed three wickets in the post-lunch session to restrict Sri Lanka to 153 for four at tea on the opening day of the series-deciding third test at Pallekele on Friday.

Sri Lanka, who won the second test in Colombo to level the series, resumed after lunch on 85-1 before the bowler who took 17 wickets in the first two matches returned to torment them again with his flight and variation.
