COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - Pakistan took an 82-run lead against Sri Lanka in the third Test match after Danish Kaneria bagged five wickets to restrict the host team's first innings to a modest score.

Pakistan reached 16-1 at close of play on the second day. It made 299 in the first innings before dismissing Sri Lanka for 233.

Opener Khurram Manzoor (2) was out bowled by Rangana Herath. Fawad Alam and captain Younis Khan were batting.

Sri Lanka lost its last five wickets for 69 runs in the post-tea session despite Mahela Jayawardene's 79 runs and his 71-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Anjelo Mathews (31) that lifted the team from 82-4. Captain Kumar Sangakkara contributed 45.

Offspinner Saeed Ajmal took three wickets for 70 runs while Kaneria returned best figures 5-62, his 13th five-wicket innings haul.

Kaneria, who had been overlooked for the first two matches of the series, triggered the wicket fall after tea, trapping Chaminda Vaas lbw for four runs. Jayawardene faced 153 balls and hit 10 boundaries for his runs before being bowled by a Kaneria delivery that hurried from the pitch.

Kaneria later trapped Herath leg before, and had Tillakaratne Dilshan caught behind by wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal.

Dilshan came to bat at No.8 instead of his usual No. 6 position because of a fractured finger, and he was also cut in the eyebrow after being hit by a ball.

Dilshan was yet to score when England umpire Ian Gould ruled an appeal for catch in his favor.

Television replays showed that the batsman trying to lift the ball over the wicketkeeper had gloved the ball before being caught by Fawad Alam.

Sri Lanka's seamer Thilan Thushara hastened Pakistan's decline in the first innings to claim his maiden five-wicket haul and finish with figures of 5-83.

Pakistan resumed the second day on 289-7, but lost its remaining wickets for just 10 runs in 22 balls.

It's last five wickets fell for just 14 runs after two partnerships - 167 between Manzoor and Mohammad Yousuf and 75 between Shoaib Malik and Misbah - had brought the visitors to 285-5.

Sri Lanka leads the three-match series 2-0.
