Rain causes action to be interrupted, and Pakistan needs 11 runs to win the first Test.
The game has been temporarily stopped, and the field has been covered.
GALLE: On the final day of the first Test match against Sri Lanka at the Galle International Cricket Stadium in Galle, play was interrupted by rain just 11 runs short of Pakistan"s record-breaking 342 run chase.
The greatest victorious fourth-innings chase was 268 by Sri Lanka against New Zealand in 2019 at the Galle venue, where Pakistan was 331 for six with Abdullah Shafique on 154 and Mohammad Nawaz on 12.
Prabath Jayasuriya, a left-arm spinner for the hosts, has already claimed four wickets and is on the verge of an incredible feat: four consecutive five-wicket hauls in his first two Tests.
The pitch has a plastic sheet covering thanks to the grounds staff.
