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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Bangladesh having good start with things were going into their favour bowlers were on target, but sadly they fail to take full advantage of this situation and bring themselves to the back-foot which is their own fault, and now they need to be patience and good at batting if they want to have something from this first test match while we have Sri Lanka at the 57 for 5 my feeling was they could be gone under 150 but two centuries bring them into game and 280 is good score in these conditions but sadly in reply we have Bangladesh also down with early breakthrough bring them down again and now things are on level for the both sides tomorrow first session is going to be important for the both sides with Sri Lanka can bring themselves into game if they are able to take few early wickets which will be enough for having good lead.

[Nanga Parbat]

Sri Lanka playing their first innings 280 runs have been scored and  Bangladesh is batting and they have scored 32 runs And by loss three wickets.
Sri Lanka's first innings target he Not so good , but Watching Bangladesh's batting prefromance I think Bangladesh no cross the sir lank inning target.

[ZAINmalik75]

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.

Yeh it's true that Bangladesh bowling give them tough time especially at start of the match as they dismissed some of thier important impactful player before adding any huge significant contribution and at that stage they were really in big big trouble but later the partnership between Silva and mendis reduced the mounting pressure on them and thus due to thier contribution they scored 200+ partnership with century of both of players, I taught it gona be again Bangladeshi day but to be honest I don't know what really wrong going on with them because at such crutical situation when they barely need a impactful partnership they are giveaway thier wickets which results in executing huge pressure on them, I think they should took time and build partnership which is really test cricket mean, otherwise things will be worse for them

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.

Despite Bangladesh strong start in bowling they failed to take advantage of this position 32/5. Srilanka in trouble after losing five key wickets early in their innings. But SriLanka didn't lose hope and played a remarkable partnership between Dhananjaya De Silva and Kamindu Mendis more than 200 plus score and rescued team for setting a challenging target of 281. Bangladesh take pressure early by losing early wickets and now face a tough challenge after losing theee wickets and scored a competitive total. I think the next morning session will be crucial for both teams with Sri Lanka aiming to cash in on early wickets and Bangladesh trying to make a partnership and build their innings.

[rojan]

In the 1st Test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka team, Sri Lanka team came to the field to bat, Sri Lanka team scored 280 runs in 1st Innings, losing 10 wickets in 68 overs. The batsmen of Sri Lanka team were under a lot of pressure in the first half of the game, but they batted well at the end of the game.  Bangladesh team came out to bat and lost 3 wickets in 10 overs and scored 32 runs. I am waiting to see how the Bangladesh team will play batting in the 1st Test match.

[Tahid12]

Bangladesh always score low run in test matches and so is happened in today's test match with sri Lanka. Sri Lanka was in trouble but thry runs as well because Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva both done century. And made total 280 runs. But Bangladesh situation is so poor. They lost 3 wickets at 32 runs. And i can see they have many new players in the squads. So no idea what will be going on up next. That's why i really excited to finished atleast 1st inngins to track new comers performance

[Patrol69]

Sri Lanka scored 288 runs against Bangladesh and were all out in the first innings. There was no chance of Sri Lanka's total of 288 in the first innings as Sri Lanka might have lost 7 wickets from 70 runs but in the seventh wicket pair Sri Lanka managed to put together a good partnership which helped them to 288 runs. Sri Lanka scored 288 runs in the first innings on the contrary Bangladesh did not start very well in Sri Lanka's first innings. Bangladesh lost 3 wickets to make the first 32 runs and Taijul Islam was sent to the wicket in the end without any professional batsman giving a wicket in the end so that no more wickets fell. If Bangladesh doesn't have a good partnership, maybe Bangladesh will end the first innings game far behind.

[Ayers]

Bangladesh having good start with things were going into their favour bowlers were on target, but sadly they fail to take full advantage of this situation and bring themselves to the back-foot which is their own fault, and now they need to be patience and good at batting if they want to have something from this first test match while we have Sri Lanka at the 57 for 5 my feeling was they could be gone under 150 but two centuries bring them into game and 280 is good score in these conditions but sadly in reply we have Bangladesh also down with early breakthrough bring them down again and now things are on level for the both sides tomorrow first session is going to be important for the both sides with Sri Lanka can bring themselves into game if they are able to take few early wickets which will be enough for having good lead.

De Silva and Mendis' responsible batting made Sri Lanka big. A collection of 280 runs on this pitch is what I would call a big collection. Because this pitch cannot be called completely batting friendly. Bowlers get a lot of support from this pitch. So after collecting 280 runs, Sri Lanka will definitely be in the safe zone. And if the Sri Lankan bowlers bowl well, Sri Lanka will be able to take a big lead.

Sri Lanka started their innings very badly. As usual, Bangladesh's top order batsmen's performance today is also very poor. The Bangladeshi top order could not bat well and at the end of the first day, Bangladesh collected only 32 runs with the loss of three wickets. Bangladesh lost three wickets in just 8 overs. Let's see how the Bangladesh team started today.

[AirtelBuzz]

Sri Lanka playing their first innings 280 runs have been scored and  Bangladesh is batting and they have scored 32 runs And by loss three wickets.
Sri Lanka's first innings target he Not so good , but Watching Bangladesh's batting prefromance I think Bangladesh no cross the sir lank inning target.

Bangladesh still has time, maybe they will be able to use that opportunity. Bangladesh lost three wickets for just 32 runs and are in a complete disaster, maybe they have to come out of there otherwise they will be able to score very less runs in this match. If Bangladesh can't cross the 280 runs given by Sri Lanka then maybe Bangladesh will be behind Sri Lanka which may also cause Bangladesh to lose this match.

The pitch for this Test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka seems to be a fast bowling friendly pitch. Of the few batsmen dismissed by both the teams so far, the fastest bowlers have been dismissed the most. The fast bowlers get an added advantage on this pitch as they are able to give away wickets regularly.

Let's see how the Bangladesh team started today.

Bangladesh's batting in Test format is very boring to watch. Bangladesh got a chance to bat only 10 overs on the first day. And Bangladesh team lost three wickets in 10 overs. And Bangladesh cannot start the second day well. Bangladesh lost the wicket of Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Joy returned to the dressing room with just 12 runs.

Sri Lanka managed to collect only 280 runs. But looking at the batting of Bangladesh, it seems that Bangladesh will not be able to collect even 200 runs in the first innings. Bangladesh team managed to collect 65 runs after losing 4 wickets. Taijul and Shahadat are now at the crease. There are still two experienced batsmen like Liton and Miraz. Bangladesh can score high if these two batsmen play well.

[synchronym]

In the first test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the captain of Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field first, which was well used by the bellers of Bangladesh. Bangladesh's bowlers put in a very good performance which allowed Sri Lanka to bowl out for 280 runs. Sri Lanka's 280-run leader came down to bat, Bangladesh's batsmen of the first sari are all out, Bangladesh is again suffering from batting failure. The way Bangladesh are batting, it seems that they will not be able to complete the game of the second innings. Now Bangladesh's last hope is Taijul Islam and Liton Das. If these two batsmen can bat responsibly, then they can pass the 280 runs given by Sri Lanka and give Sri Lanka a new lead. Otherwise, Bangladesh will end the game in a very bad way in their first innings. But Liton Das should bat responsibly as Liton Das has not proved himself in ODI so if he can give his best performance in Test match then surely he can come back in ODI format then he has to utilize today's match and bat well.
