The partnership formed in the Sri Lankan team is currently the longest, Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis have formed a partnership of 118 runs. Coming into their third Test match, they are having the toughest time against the challengers, but they are fighting hard enough to level the match at present. However, if he can perform well in today's match, then there will definitely be enough chances to bring the match on time.

Sri Lanka have collected 211 runs for 5 wickets in 45 overs, and Sri Lanka need only 114 runs to complete the target of 325 runs given by England. So today's match will be even, this first innings match is under the control of Sri Lankan team so far Sri Lankan team players should feel very lucky.

Strong comeback by Sri Lanka, nonetheless. England were looking extremely comfortable at 261/3. But then the Lankans bowled them out for 325. Usually the England lower order adds a lot of valuable runs (Jamie Smith, Chris Woakes, Chris Woakes, Olly Stone.etc), but that didn't happened this time. And while batting, the Lankans were in a lot of trouble. They were 93/5. But the unbeaten sixth wicket partnership between captain Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis is leading them towards a first innings lead.

After England lost their fifth wicket for 290 runs, England team lost the rest of the wickets very quickly. Only two batsmen of England's squad managed to bat well in this match. Apart from Pope and Duckett, no other batsman can play big innings. And if Root, Woakes or Atkinson were able to bat with some responsibility then it would not be difficult for England to collect 400+. A collection of 325 runs in the first innings cannot be called a good collection.



Sri Lanka quickly lost top order wickets. But with the responsible batting of Kamindu Mendis and De Silva, Sri Lanka managed to collect 211 runs with the loss of 5 wickets. Mendis scored 54 runs from 70 balls and Silva managed to score 64 runs from 106 balls. Sri Lanka team is 114 runs behind England. If sri lanka start well today they will be able to take the lead. but i think sri lanka will lose all the wickets before they get 325 runs.

The Sri Lankan team made a very impressive comeback, especially their bowlers, as they bowled out the last seven batsmen of England within 65 runs.Sri Lanka first innings was quite a struggle as the first five batsmen were bowled out for just 93 runs. Sri Lanka current score is 222 runs ina loss of five wickets and six-wicket partnership is continues if this partnership captain Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis 100 or more than 150 runs, then Sri Lanka can get a good read. Now Sri lanka trail by 102 runs. If Sri Lanka give England a lead of more than 100 runs then their chances of winning the Test match can be better and they can avoid the whitewash.

After completing a great test series against Pakistan, Team Bangladesh is all set to start their next journey in the Test Championship. Bangladesh's next mission is to win the series against India. India is definitely the favorite on Indian soil, especially if the opponent is Bangladesh, then their chances of winning are very high, but India is not taking Bangladesh as an easy opponent at all. India's wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant said there is no chance of taking Bangladesh lightly. Bangladesh has been doing well in batting and bowling recently so all the best for Bangladesh, hope Bangladesh will secure a good result against India.

Yeh they are doing really great so thier is no chance to take Bangladesh lightly or underestimated them, because Pakistan team does same and we have thier brutal defeat results for a first them in history of Bangladesh cricket, before that Pakistan never ever lose a single test match or series against Bangladesh but for this time things goes in favor of Bangladesh because they really done spectacular in both department of bowling and batting while on the other side due to bad captaincy and bad batting form of Pakistani top and middle order cost them that brutal defeat. Anyway indian recently lose an entire series against SiriLankan team so things can goes in anyone favor whome does best at that day.

First, the Pakistan team treated Bangladesh lightly. Since Bangladesh is weak in Test format, Pakistan thought that Pakistan will be able to easily defeat Bangladesh team. But in the first match Bangladeshi batsmen and bowlers showed surprise. As a result, Bangladesh was able to defeat Pakistan easily.

Bangladeshi players were confident in the second match as well. And Bangladesh team also won the second match by performing well. And they have proved that this squad is not to be underestimated. Along with senior players, young players are now able to perform quite well.

Bangladesh has always been weak in the Test format. In the two Test matches that Bangladesh played against Pakistan, the Bangladesh team must have taken it lightly in the first innings of the pair of Test matches, as a result of which Bangladesh gave Pakistan two defeats. When a team enters the field as an opponent, there is never a chance to take that team lightly. If the weakest team plays against the strongest team, then for that match only, the weaker team should be considered as the strongest opponent of the stronger team and should perform at their best accordingly. India must have seen how Bangladesh performed in batting and bowling against Pakistan, so India will take their main team to play against Bangladesh and they will surely consider Bangladesh as a strong opponent.

Pakistan team is undoubtedly strong but against Bangladesh they may have tried hard to win or they may not have won against Bangladesh. The Bangladesh team performed very well in the tour of Pakistan due to which the Bangladesh team managed to win the Test series against Pakistan for the first time. The Tiger team has to play against India before the Pakistan tour ends. Of course, if the players of Bangladesh cricket team can perform consistently with the way they bowled and batted against Pakistan, surely the game can be competitive. But I will put India ahead of Bangladesh because India has great players but we hope Bangladeshi batsmen can bat responsibly as batsmen's performance is very poor compared to Bangladeshi bowlers. If the batsmen can bat responsibly by maintaining the consistency of the performance of the bowlers of Bangladesh, then we can see a good performance of the Bangladesh team against India. All the best to the Bangladesh team so that they can finish the tour of India successfully.

And if Root, Woakes or Atkinson were able to bat with some responsibility then it would not be difficult for England to collect 400+. A collection of 325 runs in the first innings cannot be called a good collection.



Sri Lanka quickly lost top order wickets. But with the responsible batting of Kamindu Mendis and De Silva, Sri Lanka managed to collect 211 runs with the loss of 5 wickets. Mendis scored 54 runs from 70 balls and Silva managed to score 64 runs from 106 balls. Sri Lanka team is 114 runs behind England. If sri lanka start well today they will be able to take the lead. but i think sri lanka will lose all the wickets before they get 325 runs.

The Silva-Mendis duo did not get off to a good start. On the third day, the Sri Lankan team lost the sixth wicket to collect only 9 runs on the scoreboard. Dhananjaya De Silva, the most important batsman of the squad returned to the dressing room with 69 runs. And at the moment Sri Lanka has collected 223 runs with the loss of 6 wickets.

The match is being delayed due to rain. And if the match is delayed further, it is good for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's chances of winning the match are very slim. If the match is delayed due to rain, the chances of the match being drawn will increase. Sri Lanka team is still trailing England by a huge margin of 102 runs. Since Sri Lanka have already lost 6 wickets. Therefore Sri Lankan batsmen will probably not be able to add 102 more runs to the scoreboard. But if Mendis remains unbeaten at the crease, it will be possible for Sri Lanka to collect 300+.

Yes the interruptions in the match due to rain favours the Sri Lanka team more as compared to the England team. Anyways, the good news for the England team is that the match has resumed once again and Sri Lanka already lost the wicket of Dhananjaya de Silva (before the interruption). He was caught by Shoaib Bashir on the bowling of Hull.



A lot will depend on Kamindu Mendis and Milan Rathnayake. Both need to stay there for long and Mendis needs to take most of the strike. Even with these little rain intervals, the game is still in very much England's control and there is plenty of time in the match for them to secure their victory.

With Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva breaking down, the Sri Lankan team is batting under a lot of pressure at the moment. If these two batsmen could have lasted for some more time then surely they would have collected something good for the team but at the moment they have lost 8 wickets. Sri Lankan team has only two wickets in hand although they will not play very well and still Sri Lankan team needs to collect 77 runs to meet the target, and now England team will bowl better and also it will not be possible to meet the target in this innings of Sri Lankan.

Yes, these two batsmen combined it brilliantly to rescue the Sri Lankan team from the wreckage. Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva put together a crucial 127-run partnership when Sri Lanka's top five batsmen were out for 93 runs. The duo pulled the Sri Lankan team back from the brink. Both of them have good batting performance, but if one of them is out, the Sri Lankan team returns to the previous position, i.e. they lose wickets regularly.

The Sri Lankan team has already lost 9 wickets out of 249 runs and they are still trailing England by 76 runs in the first innings. Maybe add some more runs to the scoreboard and Sri Lanka will go all out as they don't have any experienced batsmen at the crease at the moment.
