Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Sri Lanka will be looking to post as many runs as possible on the board today before handing over the proceedings to the visitors in Kandy. Follow ball-by-ball commentary of the series-decider here.
12:02 IST: Sri Lanka would be disappointed with the way they batted in this session. Lahiru and Oshada started off cautiously and scored a few runs. Thirimanne got out to a poor delivery down the leg side and that was enough for Bangladesh to sneak in with a couple of wickets. Angelo Mathews couldn't do much and fell soon and so did de Silva. Oshada Fernando is looking solid and Sri Lanka would want him to carry on to score a ton. He is joined by Nissanka, who would look to score runs after getting out cheaply in the last Test. An exciting session awaits us after Lunch, make sure you join us for that!
12:02 IST: A session that Bangladesh would be very happy with. They have picked up 3 wickets and are back in the competition. It started when Taskin Ahmed got the well-deserved wicket of Thirimanne and then dismissed Mathews shortly after. There is a bit more turn on this pitch now and Taijul Islam extracted it to get de Silva out. Post Lunch, they will look to get the rest of the batters and give the Bangladeshi batsmen at least one session to bat out.
