Sri Lanka VS Bangladesh 1st Test 1st Innings Update

Score Sri Lanka 494/10 (129.1)    1st Innings Bangladesh 133/2 (46)

Bangladesh wiped out the Sri Lanka tail in minimal over a hour after lunch, then made it unscathed to 31, in light of the 494 the hosts had amassed. The pitch on day two has been much the same as it had been on Tuesday: excessively dry, making it impossible to offer any significant crease development, and not sufficiently dry yet to bring spinners into the diversion.

In spite of the track's incompliance, Mehedi Hasan kept on flighting the ball dauntlessly through a significant part of the initial three hours, and gathered three further wickets subsequently - completing with 4 for 113 from the innings. Mustafizur Rahman conveyed his cutters sharply in the morning, and Taskin Ahmed had knocked down some pins well on the very first moment, however at Galle, even on a track, for example, this, the quicks will battle to exceed the moderate bowlers.

Mehedi had expelled Sri Lanka's overnight match in the morning session, and asserted the prized scalp of the evening too, when he hit Dilruwan Perera before the stumps with a slider. Perera had struck a third Test fifty at an energetic pace to convey Sri Lanka to the verge of 500, however the second session would likewise observe a considerable mix-up from him: handling at chasm in the third over, he dropped a direct shot off the bat of Soumya Sarkar, who had been on 4.

Mehedi's most imperative wicket of the day was maybe that of Kusal Mendis, whose morning was characterized by two endeavored sixes. The to begin with, off Subashis Roy in the 95th over, was a snare shot gone amiss - the mis-hit got by Mustafizur Rahman at fine leg. The defender, however, misconceived the position of the limit, and trod on the rope while contending the catch. The umpire raised his arms to flag a six. Subashis, not seeing Mustafizur's misstep, brought his arms up in festivity. Dickwella, the non-striker, likewise raised his arms to recommend to Subashis that the ball had been continued the limit. Everybody had their hands up, and for a moment they were remaining around looking like bank employees amid an outfitted burglary.

The second endeavored six, be that as it may, would cost him his wicket. Mendis ventured down the pitch to Mehedi and tried to store him over long-on. He didn't exactly get to the pitch be that as it may, and this time, the mis-hit was controlled by Tamim Iqbal, who kept the ball in play by tossing it noticeable all around, while he himself quickly ventured over the limit, then came back to finish the catch. That stroke had been an endeavor to get to his lady twofold hundred with a six - a sign that for all Mendis' appearing development at the wrinkle, he is not safe to the careless flashes of youth. He was out for 194.

His accomplice, Dickwella, was commonly exuberant at the wrinkle, propelling the second ball he confronted on the day over the leg side for six, now and again utilizing that turn around range that has as of late served him well in the briefest configuration. He played the incline stroke over the slips to hit the second of his progressive limits off Taskin Ahmed in the 97th over, and raised his second Test half century before long, off the 52nd ball he confronted. Mehedi in the long run had him beat edging an endeavored swipe over the leg side to reject him for 75.

Put something aside for Soumya's dropped possibility, the Bangladesh openers were guaranteed against the new ball in the second session. They saw out Lahiru Kumara's pace, and searched out scoring openings against each of the bowlers who came at them. Tamim hit three fours to move to 17 off 23 balls by tea.
