Colombo, Sri Lanka (AP):  Leg spinner Yasir Shah grabbed a career-best four wickets as Pakistan thrashed Sri Lanka by 135 runs in their third one-day international on Sunday.

Batting first after winning the toss, Pakistan made 316 in 50 overs. In reply, Sri Lanka was dismissed for 181 in the 42nd over.

Pakistan now has a 2-1 lead in the series, with two matches to be played.

Shah completed his 10 overs with four for 29, backing up good contributions from Pakistan's top and middle order with the bat — including half-centuries from Sarfraz Ahmed and Mohammad Hafeez.

Shah's figures in his eighth one-day game surpassed his previous best of 2-40 against Zimbabwe last May.

Left-arm spinner Imad Wasim, who made his debut for Pakistan, and seam bowler Anwar Ali took two wickets each.
