Icing on the cake
Change is also in the air for Sri Lanka with Mahela Jayawardene having announced he will step down as captain at the end of this two-match series.
"Winning a Test series in Pakistan would be brilliant and for me to leave on that note would be icing on the cake," Jayawardene said.
"I'm disappointed that we didn't play to our potential against India, but we have fond memories leaving Pakistan the last time so hopefully we will continue with that."
The Lankans lost their one-day series with India 4-1, as well as slipping to defeat in the subsequent Twenty20 match, for which Jayawardene was dropped.
Spin twins Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis could again hold the key for Sri Lanka against what looks on paper a below-par Pakistan batting line-up.
Sri Lanka have not lost a series in Pakistan since 1995 and won last month's one-dayers between the two sides 2-1.

Pakistan cannot win, but the wikcet is so dead that they should be able to draw the test
