Galle, Sri Lanka: Kumar Sangakkara smashed his 10th double century against reckless Pakistan as Sri Lanka declared its first innings at 533-9 for an overall lead of 82 runs on the fourth day of the first test on Saturday.
Pakistan lost opener Khurram Manzoor to left-arm spinner Rangana Herath to finish the day on 4-1 -- still trailing by 78 runs.
Sangakkara's imperious 221 in just over 11 1/2 hours off 425 balls was studded with 24 fours as the master batsman made Pakistan pay heavily for dropping him of Saturday's very first ball and later on 168.
Abdul Rehman, who missed a first-ball sitter of Sangakkara, had the left-hander finally stumped late in the last session before Pakistan's tough time in the field ended when the declaration came.
