Dhananjaya De Silva and Kamindu Mendis changed the scenario of the entire match. After losing 5 wickets for just 57 runs, Sri Lanka now collect 192 runs with 5 wickets. Silva remained unbeaten on 64 runs off 89 balls and Mendis on 82 balls. These two batsmen are batting very responsibly. And Sri Lanka's run rate is quite good. Sri Lanka scored 192 runs in 43 overs.

I expected better bowling from Taijul and Miraj. But these two bowlers are not bowling well so far. If Srilanka can score 300+ then I would say Bangladesh will lose this match.

Dhananjaya De Silva and Kamindu Mendis pair has taken Sri Lanka out of danger and now Sri Lanka very much comfortably placed in this match. Both have added 161 runs and third session just started. After getting 5 quick wickets, Bangladesh bowlers struggle to get the 6th one. It looks like Sri Lanka will score 300 runs by the end of today's play and it will be difficult for Bangladesh to level that.

The Sri Lankan team lost the first toss and went to bat, but due to the aggressive bowling of Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan team lost five wickets to collect 70 runs. At that time, it seemed that the Sri Lankan team would not be able to score 200 runs, maybe they would be all out after 150 runs. But with the responsible batting of Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva, the Sri Lankan team is going to give a big lead. Bangladesh will have to get these two out very quickly. It will be very dangerous for Bangladesh. Kamindu Mendis is unbeaten with 75 runs off 99 balls and Dhananjaya de Silva is unbeaten with 83 runs off 108 balls. Sri Lanka team's current score is 217 runs for five wickets in 49 overs.

Where all the Sri Lankan batsmen have failed, Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva have put in brilliant performances to bring the team back to a good position. Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva both put on a massive partnership of 202 runs. Nahid Rana He broke the pair of the two. Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva both got out with 102 and 102 runs respectively, both of them performed really well. So far Sri Lanka have collected 265 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. Sri Lanka's batting performance now looks like it will be difficult for them to score 320+. Let's see how many runs Sri Lanka can score in the end.

Sri Lanka team scored 280 runs in the first innings in Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh first test match. In the beginning the batsmen of the Sri Lankan team did not have a good batting performance due to which they lost many wickets in the beginning. But later, due to the excellent batting of two experienced batsmen of the Sri Lankan team, we were able to collect 280 runs. In particular, Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva both played brilliantly and scored great centuries in a partnership of 204 runs. But the Bangladesh team today put up a good bowling line-up due to which they bowled out Sri Lanka early and they showed their great performance. However, I think the Bangladesh team can easily meet the target of 280 runs if they batsmen can play well. And considering this target, I hope that the Sri Lankan team will be able to give a good lead and if the Bangladeshi team can play well then the victory is sure.

Although the performance of the bowlers of Bangladesh was good, the batsmen could not do well. I expected a good performance from the batsmen of Bangladesh at the home ground of Bangladesh, but Bangladesh lost 3 wickets within 10 overs. Zakir Hasan is out for 9 runs, Najmul Hossain Shanto is out for 5 runs, Mominul Haque is out for 5 runs. If Bangladesh cannot improve its batting line tomorrow, Bangladesh will not be able to score big. Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Taijul Islam are at the crease, they should form a big run partnership tomorrow. Bangladesh scored 32 runs losing 3 wickets in 10 overs.

In the first innings of the first Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka's batting looked like they might be all out soon but gradually they settled down and played a good innings. Sri Lanka were in batting trouble early on in their first innings but Dhananjaya D'Silba and Kamindu Mendis put on an unbreakable 205-run partnership. Looking at Sri Lanka's early batting one would assume that they batted very poorly but instead they came back into the game and batted well.

Like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh has been a batting disaster since the beginning. Bangladesh currently collects 32 runs for three wickets. We are waiting for Bangladesh to come back like Sri Lanka and make a good pair. Sri Lanka scored 238 this score might be easy but it will be difficult given the current situation in Bangladesh.

[iamaruf]

The Sri Lanka team recovered well enough. I thought they can't cross 200 runs but they did. they already took 3 important wickets. If they can take down mominul haque it will be hard to cross 280 runs. I think Bangladesh will be in trail 40-50 runs. Let's see what happen next day.

[Sithara007]

So far, not a single Bangladeshi batsmen has got to double digits. Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque are back in pavillion without contributing much. A lot of hype was there regarding the Lankan spinners, but it was their seamers who got all the wickets so far. Vishwa Fernando and Kasun Rajitha were very effective. And before all this, Bangladesh had Sri Lanka at 57/5. Then they allowed Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva to take the Lankans to 280 all out.

[Patrol69]

The Sri Lankan all-rounder was previously out of action due to several bans before returning to the national team and again being suspended for two Test matches. The decision of the umpire must be accepted but he did not accept the decision but he got into an argument with the umpires and was seen arguing loudly which is why the ICC has clearly announced in their Facebook post that Hasaranga has been banned for the next two Test matches.
This Sri Lankan player could not bring anything good for his team or change the decision after arguing with the umpire but banned himself from the Test match. Hopefully his punishment will be a lesson to all other players.

Incidents of indiscipline are on the rise, and I would actually appreciate the stance taken by the ICC. The only thing is that they need to be fair. If they are taking action against Lankan players, then they should do the same against those who are from the pig-3. And in case of Hasaranga, he got what he deserved. Umpires are also humans. Sometimes the decisions can go one way, and sometimes it may go the other way. If you are OK with the first occasion, then you should be courageous enough to accept the decision during second occasion as well.

This decision of umpire's call is not the first time in the match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka but we have seen umpire's call in many matches before. If the third umpire tries to support the on-field umpire, if the umpire decides against an appeal, the third umpire's decision will count as an umpire's call if the players take a review and if the ball does not take more than fifty percent of the stamp. That's what happened against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. However, we do not see any ill effects from the Sri Lankan all-rounder being banned for two months. He was present at the practice ground along with other players but was not seen practicing but was seen smiling and having fun with everyone. Many media speculated that the Sri Lankan all-rounder was happy to be banned.

2 runs out and 1 wicket fell to a spinner. The seamers claimed the rest of the wickets.

It seems like a script of some test in SENA, but it happened in Bangladesh, which is quite a sight. Even if the pitch plays the same or starts deteriorating, the Lankans have their nose ahead in the game and should fancy their chances. After all, Bongs are batting last.

The Sri Lankan Team did not perform well in the test match against Bangladesh, they gave a target that teams give in the ODI which is only 280 runs. In test cricket, they have to make a long partnership but the Srilankan team played it in the wrong way and this way will only lose to them and if they lose then they have been under pressure due to rivalry because it is the time for Sri Lankan team for taking the revenge and again celebrate in the ways of like drop salt into injury.

The good news for the Sri Lankan team is that the Bangladesh batsmen also did not start their batting confidently and lost three wickets for 32 runs when the day ended. We have Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis, both of them made a century for their team and took them out of trouble. Whom from the Bangladesh batsmen will play similar innings 

[jasonjm]

Sri Lanka got out on 280 runs in the first inning. Bangladesh bowlers did an exceptional job reducing the SL batting in the first session. The partnership of 202 between the captain Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis rescued the Lankan batting lineup. They both got out within three overs after scoring respective centuries. Sri Lankan bowlers responded well to the task and took 3 wickets early in the inning. It will be a tough ask for the Bangladesh batters in the first session tomorrow.

Finally, we are seeing some fast wickets in Bangladesh. This will help Bangladesh cricket in the long run. Those dead wickets cost Bangladesh dearly in the past.

1st Test game Bangladesh won the toss and bowling first Sri lanka on 270/8 and 3rd session going on off day 1. Srilanka lost wickets early they lost first five wickets on just 57 score after that De silva and kaushal mendis takes responsibility and charge on Bengali bowlers they played very brilliant innings both player scored centuries and 6th wickets partnership played by both players of 202 runs help team sri lanka to come back in this match and make 270 runs in 61 overs on bowling side Khaled Ahmed and Nahid rana both take 3, 3 wickets Bangladesh need to takes remaining two wickets now to also playing on same day.

The Sri Lankan team came out to bat against Bangladesh and due to the controlled bowling of the Bangladeshi bowlers, the Sri Lankan team had to lose five important wickets to collect 70 runs. But Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva both batted responsibly for the Sri Lankan team. Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva were able to score a century for the Sri Lankan team's team score of 280 runs. Sri Lanka gave Bangladesh a lead of 280 runs. The batsmen of Bangladesh are under a lot of pressure after losing 3 wickets in the beginning. Mahmudul Hasan and Taijul Islam, these two batsmen of Bangladesh have to bat responsibly, otherwise the Bangladesh team will lose very badly.

Good action on the first day of first test match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Bangladesh winning the toss decided to field and just destroyed the top order batting lineup of Sri Lanka taking 5 wickets at 57 runs. Sri Lanka seemed to be in great trouble but Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis rescued the team with a century each creating a record breaking partnership for 6th wicket. Even though such great work by the two guys, the rest of the team just made 65 off the bat. Sri Lanka were all out at 280 which is not an impressive start. But as the batting of Bangladesh started, it seem like they won't be able to cash on the opportunity as they have already lost their 3 wickets. It's important for Bangladesh to hold onto their wicket at 2nd day as they have all the time.

[Sithara007]

Finally, we are seeing some fast wickets in Bangladesh. This will help Bangladesh cricket in the long run. Those dead wickets cost Bangladesh dearly in the past.

It doesn't matter whether they are playing in dustbowls or green wickets. The team is performing poorly. They lost three wickets with a total of 32 on board. Opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Taijul Islam are at the crease with Shahadat Hossain, Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to come next. Now I am concerned that BCB will revert to preparing dust bowls for the remaining matches, which will be a bad thing to do and make the series very boring. Anyway, tomorrow will be interesting to watch.

[onecall123]

On the Bangladeshi bowling side, Khaled Ahmed and Nahid Rana both took 3 wickets each. Nahid Rana, a 21-year-old, broke the crucial partnership between De Silva and Kusal Mendis. He can consistently bowl at 145 kph, which is rare in Bangladesh's context. The Sri Lankan tail-ender negotiated his pace, but it was threatening to them. Except his wrong line and length, he is a perfect example of a real fast bowler.

At the end of Day 1, Bangladesh finished at 32/3, losing 3 important wickets while chasing 281. While 280 may not seem like a big chase, but Bangladesh is already in trouble after losing three wickets. The next morning will be crucial for both sides, defining which team will be in front.

In first test match Sri Lanka All Out in scored 280 runs against Bangladesh in first innings of first day test match. At start of first session, Sri Lanka didn't perform well give 5 quick wickets in just low runs but the partnership of Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis is match-changing for sri Lanka. Both played good innings especially Dhananjaya de Silva batting performance was outstanding scored a hundred and 102 runs and Kusal Mendis also scored an amazing score of 102 runs and helped his team reach 280 runs. Bangladesh current score is 32 runs in loss of 3 wickets in just 10 overs of the match.

Apart from Dhananjaya De Silva and Kamindu Mendis, none of the batsmen in the Sri Lankan squad have played well. These two batsmen collected 102 runs. De Silva and Mendis put on a 202-run partnership. Although Khaled and Nahid bowled somewhat well, we did not see better bowling from Bangladesh's two experienced bowlers, Taijul and Miraj. Taijul is not in good form. Taijul's performance in this series against Sri Lanka is very poor.



Sri Lanka could not score big. But the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is weak as usual. The top-order batsmen returned to the dressing room very quickly. Bangladesh team lost three important wickets to collect only 31 runs. My estimate was that Bangladesh could collect more than 250. But the way Bangladesh started the innings, it is very difficult for Bangladesh to collect 200 runs.

Yes, the Bangladesh team is a bit on the back foot at the moment. Bangladesh team must bat well with patience to turn around in this match. The three Bangladeshi batsmen who got out played foolish cricket today which put their team in danger. But in the game of cricket, if a strong pair is formed, then any team is able to make a strong score. There are only two prominent batsmen left in the Bangladesh squad which are Liton Kumar Das and Mehdi Hasan Miraj and all the rest are bowlers. Maybe later Liton Kumar Das and Mehdi Hasan Miraj will have to take full charge of the team and patiently play the innings as the Sri Lankan batsmen have done.

Tomorrow is very important for Bangladesh as they have already lost their three valuable wickets.Bangladesh team batsmen have to give incredible batting performance if Bangladesh team wants to fully fight Sri Lanka in this match.

True, Initially, I thought Sri Lanka's batting performance would be the one to lose in this first test match as one of their top order batsmen could not score good runs, only for Dhananjaya de Silva and Kasun Rajitha they managed to score 280 runs in the first innings of this match. In a word, they are going to save Sri Lanka by putting up a big partnership of 202 runs.
Anyway Bangladesh's condition is not good Zakir Hasan, Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque lost these three big wickets in just 32 runs. Looking at this performance of Bangladesh in the first innings, I don't think that Bangladesh will be able to get very good runs, although there are Liton Das and Mehdi Hasan Miraj as Bangladesh's hope.
