Opener Zakir Hasan is batting responsibly today. He batted well yesterday too. And Zakir is batting very carefully today. After losing the first wicket at 47 runs, Bangladesh have not yet lost any more wickets. Bangladesh collected 80 runs after losing 1 wicket. Zakir was unbeaten on 47 runs off 86 balls. At the same time, Taijul Islam is also batting very well. Taijul is at the crease after collecting 5 runs from 34 balls.

Bangladesh team is still trailing by a huge margin of 451 runs. Almost every batsman in the squad needs to play well and at least 2 centuries are needed to make such a big collection. If the Bangladeshi batsmen can bat well then the match will be a draw or Bangladesh will be defeated. I do not see the possibility of Sri Lankan team losing.

Bangladesh lost 1 wicket and collected up to 95 runs, and Bangladesh lost 4 wickets to collect between 95 and 105 runs. Bangladesh team lost three batsmen to collect 10 runs.

We have not seen such stupid batting in the Bangladesh team. Bangladesh's batsmen always do such strange batting in Test format. I think Bangladeshi players have no ability to perform in test format. Bangladesh hosts Test series only by wasting money and time.

We saw bad batting from Captain Shanto in the first match as well. He returned to the dressing room after collecting only 1 run in today's match. Now Mominul and Sakib are at the crease. Two experienced batsmen of Bangladesh team. If these two batsmen are out, the innings in Bangladesh will end very quickly.

In the second test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan team batted brilliantly and gave Bangladesh a lead of 537 runs. Bangladesh lost four important wickets after going into bat with a lead of 537 runs given by Sri Lanka.  Like the first test match of the Bangladesh team, the batting failure of the Bangladesh team in the second test match. Bangladesh lost four wickets before reaching 100 runs. If the batsmen of Bangladesh cannot bat responsibly, Bangladesh is going to lose very badly against Sri Lanka in the second test match like the first test match. Mominul and Shakib Al Hasan are currently batting in the Bangladesh team. If Shakib Al Hasan can do it, then maybe Bangladesh can score some runs. Now let's see how much Mominul and Shakib Al Hasan can score runs in partnership.

Sri Lanka right on top after picking 5 wickets this morning. Bangladesh still trail by 400 runs and follow on seems inevitable now. Wickets start falling once Zakir Hasan got out this morning and no resistance from any Bangladeshi batsmen so far. Zakir Hasan is the top scorer from Bangladesh side so far with 54 runs. There were lots of expectation from Shakib but he failed to deliver in batting and got out on just 15. Bangladesh need to score 331 runs to avoid follow on which seems very much impossible.

In the second innings of the second Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, Bangladesh has already fallen into the follow-on. Looking at Bangladesh's batting and bowling performance in the Test match against Sri Lanka, it seems that they may not be fit to play Tests. It has become such that the ICC should withdraw the test recognition of Bangladesh. It is unthinkable that a Test-recognised team would perform so poorly, even in two consecutive Test matches. Maybe such a performance is possible only by the Bangladesh team because they give one failed series after another. Where Sri Lanka scored 531 runs in the first innings, Bangladesh should have scored 400 plus runs, 400 plus runs would have saved their honor. However, in the end we wish Bangladesh a miserable defeat and there is no other option for Bangladesh.

We know that Bangladesh team is weak in Test format. Bangladesh team accepted a shameful defeat in the first match too. And after the Sri Lanka team scored 531 runs in the first innings of the second match, I was sure that the Bangladesh team would lose this match too by a big margin. And that's how it's going to be.

Bangladesh lost their second wicket for 96 runs. And Bangladesh lost their seventh wicket for 148 runs. Apart from Zakir Hasan, no other batsman can stay at the crease for long. We haven't seen better performances from Sakib and Liton. Liton Das has been out of form for a long time. If this continues, Liton Das will be excluded from the Bangladesh national team in all formats. Bangladesh will probably collect as many as 200 in the first innings. Bangladesh team is going to accept another shameful defeat.

In the second test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan team batted brilliantly and gave Bangladesh a lead of 537 runs. Bangladesh lost four important wickets after going into bat with a lead of 537 runs given by Sri Lanka.  Like the first test match of the Bangladesh team, the batting failure of the Bangladesh team in the second test match. Bangladesh lost four wickets before reaching 100 runs. If the batsmen of Bangladesh cannot bat responsibly, Bangladesh is going to lose very badly against Sri Lanka in the second test match like the first test match. Mominul and Shakib Al Hasan are currently batting in the Bangladesh team. If Shakib Al Hasan can do it, then maybe Bangladesh can score some runs. Now let's see how much Mominul and Shakib Al Hasan can score runs in partnership.

Bangladesh were eventually bowled out for 178 runs. The bowlers of Bangladesh could not bowl well and the batsmen also could not bat well. Almost all Sri Lankan batsmen scored half-centuries in the first innings. But in the first innings of Bangladesh, no batsman other than Zakir Hasan could score fifty runs.

However, Sri Lanka came out to bat in the second innings, so far Sri Lanka have collected 23 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 5 overs. The Bangladeshi bowlers managed to bowl a bit better in the second innings. But so far Sri Lanka has given a lead of 376 runs. It will not be possible for Bangladesh to win by chasing so many runs. Let's see how many runs Sri Lanka can lead.

[JSRAW]

More grinding for the Bongs, first with the ball then poor guys had to walk in for another round within 70 overs. Bowlers must be cursing their batters. Also, Litton Babu is cooked for sure, looked rusty at the top and failed in the middle order as well.

Lankans will eye to swell up their lead close to 525-ish. Another record chase opportunity for Bangbros, only to lose by 300 odds runs.

Even if the Sri Lankans do not bat for the second time with the amount of runs that they have already given, Bangladesh will not be able to fulfill the target of that run in any way. Where Sri Lanka easily collected 531 runs, how did Bangladesh get all out for 178 runs. Suddenly Bangladeshis are not at all suitable for cricket but their mindset is always against cricket. So I think it is right to speak against Bangladesh as a supporter of Bangladesh. If the money of Bangladeshi cricketers could be distributed among the poor and needy without giving them monthly salary, it would be work.

Sri Lanka is in complete control of the game in the 2nd test match between SL and BAN. Bangladesh batsmen could not perform in their 1st inning and bowled out on 178 runs. Except for Zakir's fifty, no other batter showed any real sign of resistance. Sri Lankan fast bowlers were too good for them. Asitha Fernando begged four wickets in the first inning.
Two Sri Lankan wickets fell early in the inning, within 3 overs. Experienced Mathew and Nishan Madushka put up a little partnership, but Madushka got out after making 34 runs. Sri Lanka has a lead of over 400, and by the look of it, Bangladesh has no chance in this game.

Both the Sri Lankan batsmen and bowlers have performed well in the first innings. Sri Lankan batsmen made a huge collection of 631. Due to the excellent bowling of the Sri Lankan bowlers, Bangladesh's innings stopped at just 178 runs. Asitha Fernando took four wickets in just 10.4 overs. Besides, Viswa Fernando, Lahiru and Jayasuriya picked up two wickets each.

Sri Lanka's top order is not playing well in the second innings. Sri Lanka lost four wickets for 72 runs. However, even if the Sri Lankan team does not perform well in the second innings, it will not face any major problems. The Sri Lanka team is already ahead of Bangladesh by a big margin of 430 runs. I doubt if the Bangladesh team can score 200 runs in their second innings.

Bangladesh was in trouble after losing their wickets early in their innings and Bowled out in 178. But Bangladesh didn't lose hope after Sri Lanka led by more than 400 plus runs. The first opening partnership between Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Zakir Hasan more than 45 plus scores save Bangladesh. follow on. Bangladesh took pressure early by losing early wickets and now faces a tough challenge for Bangladesh to get win the game from this situation.

Today is the third day of the test match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh which you can say clearly that it will be won by Sri Lankans in just after some time.

Firstly, Sri Lankan batsmen played so awesome which has no comparison and then how their bowlers take wickets. After looking at this type of bowling, you hardly believe in your eyes, that this is a team of Bangladesh with this type of players.  Now, Sri Lanka came again to batting but this time, I don’t think they will make many runs because they lost their six wickets. The Sri Lankan team on its peak but not in the 2nd innings batting.

The match is going to be awesome at Chattogram between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh test match but there is one thing that disappointed to the players and to us which is the empty stadiums even though not a single person came to see the match.

If this match was played in any city of England or any city of India then the crowd would be enough if there were not too many seats for staff. When any player completes his achievement or makes a century then he raises the bat to an empty stadium as you can see in the picture given below

In the second test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, the top batsmen of Bangladesh did not make good runs after going down to bat for the lead of 531 runs given by Sri Lanka. The Bangladesh team was all out for just 178 runs. Bangladesh team should have batted more responsibly against Sri Lanka if they could have batted more responsibly then the run lead would have been less. However, the Bangladeshi bowlers have put Sri Lanka in a good position in the second innings of the second Test match. Sri Lanka scored 102 runs for 6 wickets in the second innings.

Yes, that is right. Sri Lankan International test cricket team will win this match easily. Sri Lankan International test cricket team is looking in good form. Bangladeshi International test cricket team is all team out by making only 178 runs . Third day of test match is gone and now it is very bravery if Bangladeshi International test cricket team will be able to draw this match.  Sri Lankan team is leading by 455 runs and there are 100 percent chances Sri Lanka team will win this match if rain not interrupt this match.

In all probability, Lankans will declare their innings and ask Bangladeshis to bat from the first over tomorrow. I was a bit surprised with the performance from medium pacer Hasan Mahmud. He picked up 4 crucial wickets for Bangladesh. The pitch at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram was supposed to be spin-friendly. But so far the pacers have picked up majority of the wickets - Hasan Mahmud for Bangladesh, and then Lahiru Kumara/Vishwa Fernando/Asitha Fernando for the visitors.

It's a interesting to see 15 wickets falling in a single day. Bangladesh continued their innings from yesterday and were at time, 96-1 with Zakir Hasan's 54. But the rest of 9 wickets fell without scoring next 96. Vishwa Fernando took the two important wickets while Asitha Fernando was the most successful with 4 wickets. Bangladesh had been showing a poor batting trend lately and the result was not surprising but how bad Sri Lanka bat on their 2nd inning is surprising. They have lost 6 wickets making 102 in 25 overs. They might have been hurry to take it to a good score to declare as they already had a good lead but non of their batsmen are left to bat except Angelo Matthews. Sri Lanka is already 455 in lead so they might want to get quick runs tomorrow morning too so they'd have a good time to take the last 10 wickets of Bangladesh.

SL should have gone for follow on option but they didn't took that option. Not good batting from SL in second innings but it doesn't matter as they have scored enough runs in first innings. It's first time in this test series that Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis were not able to score fifty, in past three innings they both were too good for Bangladeshi bowlers to handle. Tomorrow hopefully SL will be bowled out in first session and then Bangladesh have a huge target to chase.

I don’t know why Sri Lanka wants to tell to Bangladesh that they have no chance to win because when they made 531 runs in the first innings and then their bowlers picked all the wickets of the Bangladeshi team easily, and now they came again at crease and in the just first 9 overs, they made 50 runs and now Sri Lankan team is leading by 400+ runs, which is not small runs and now for sure, the winner is known.
I think this match should not happen because of the result everybody knew. What a match is this at Chattogram, the match is going very good.

Once again Bangladesh got a chance to tie the match as you can see SriLankan batsmen came again to bat which was good for Bangladesh because they could draw the match in the second innings when they came to bat.

Now, their bowlers should not have to pick wickets because if they are starting to pick wickets then the SriLanka captain will declare the innings, and again Bangladesh team has the chance to lose. Bangladesh's team has an advantage in that they will play by wasting and try to waste 90 overs per day. This is the best advice for the Bangladeshi team, if they do this then something can be happen good for them. This is sarcasm of course
