Resuming the third day at 57/0, Pakistan rode their openers Masood and Abid's scintillating effort as the duo put up a 278-run partnership.
On 95, the 32-year-old Abid Ali hit paceman Vishwa Fernando for a boundary and then drove him through cover for two to complete his hundred.
Dhananjaya De Silva remained unbeaten on 102 after 241 minutes of batting, having come at the score of 127-4 on Thursday.
In the Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the latter had won the toss and opted to bat on the first day, but play was called off after 68.1 overs.
