In the 1st Test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka team Bangladesh team came to bat in 1st Innings and scored 188 runs in 51.3 overs losing 10 wickets. Sri Lanka team came to bat in 1st Innings and scored 280 runs in 68 overs losing 10 wickets. Bangladesh team to bat  Bad performance in batting. Taijul Islam was dismissed for 47 runs from 80 balls. Litton Das was dismissed for 25 runs from 43 balls. Litton Das did not do well in batting today.

[Mahdirakib]

The Sri Lankan bowlers have done very well. As a result, Bangladesh's innings stopped at only 188 runs. The Sri Lankan team managed to take a lead by 92 runs. That's a pretty big lead considering the pitch.

Bangladesh had bowled well too, but they were a bit over confidence after taking the first 5 wickets quickly in the first innings. Bangladeshi players had dropped some catches after that for the lack of seriousness. Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis made 202 runs partnership in the 6th wicket, which will have the main impact of the final result of this match. This is a difficult pitch for batting, and the match is completely in favour of Sri Lanka now.

Things are moving too quickly in this test match so i think it won't be an understatement if all affairs wrap up quickly within the next 4-5 sessions.

For SL, 5 wickets are still in the piggy bank but if we go by their 1st inning performance then I don't think their tail could move the scoreboard much so they would again expect Dhananjaya and Kamindu to contribute with the bat. Bongs must try to restrict them under 250, tough but not impossible with SL's tail. Bookies are offering some nice odds for Bongs, might throw some lunch money after 1st session if things become interesting.

Sri Lanka lead already is 211 runs and they have 5 batters still to come. It won't be possible for Bangladesh to restrict Sri Lanka to 250. Seems like Sri Lanka might be able to give target of around 300. Sri Lanka lost 5 wickets for 57 runs in first innings while in second innings they lost 5th wicket at score of 113 runs. Bangladesh always have such mine fields for the test matches, there must be some better pitches for the test.

The batting performance of the Bangladesh team in the first test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka was really bad due to which the Bangladesh team got all out in the first innings for just 188 runs. However, the batsmen of the Bangladesh team should have batted more responsibly. The way the batsmen of the Bangladesh team batted, it does not seem that they will win the first test match against Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan batsmen are batting well in the second innings too if they give Bangladesh a lead of 350 runs then it will be very difficult for Bangladesh to win so Bangladesh bowlers should bowl well against Sri Lanka in the second innings to keep Sri Lankan batsmen under pressure.

In 1 st Inning, Sri Lanka team scored 280 runs by losing all wickets and this runs was made good in 1 st Inning. D.Silva and K.Mendis both Batsman made a full century and total scored 102 runs. Other batsman instead of these players did not performed well. Today Sri Lanka team also played 2 nd inning and in this inning, Sri Lanka made more 119 runs and also they lost 5 wickets. D.Karunaratne was bowled out but his effort was good and scored 52 runs. Bangladesh team showed poor effort and they only chase 188 runs and Sri Lanka team leads by 211 runs.

We have very good match on green Sylhet track with just two days of play and 25 wickets gone Sri Lanka is on driving seat after this all currently they are having 212 runs lead 5 wickets remaining into their second inning most chances we will have this match ended in three and half days because both teams are lacking of quality batting but still Sri Lanka is having good advantage because they have done good job with bat and bowl and Bangladesh badly down in this test series which is big setback for them.
Now if we have 80 to 90 more runs from the Sri Lankan batting then surely things will be not controllable for Bangladesh, and they can lose this match tomorrow first session could be important with both teams will try to have some advantage which will give them better end of this match.

[ZAINmalik75]

Sri Lanka lost two wickets in the second innings, so if wickets continue to fall, they will never be able to give Bangladesh a target of 400 to 500 runs. Because Bangladesh team is also very strong in terms of bowling, since in this match they did not perform well in keeping the wicket, but Bangladesh team will definitely perform well in the second innings. Especially in this match, due to the absence of Mustafizur Rahman, the bowling line of the Bangladesh team has become weak. That is why the Sri Lankan team is getting the chance to score more runs which is a danger for the Bangladeshi team.

I think sirilankan team should not need to give a target of 400 to 500 because Bangladesh team even can't hit a target of 280 In first innings so imagining such things that Bangladesh will scored such high target is currently just possible in dreams, I am really disappointed from Bangladesh team performance especially their batting because I was expecting some decent performance from them but I think something wrong is going on with them because they have plenty of quality batter then why such worst performance and more shocking things is from top to bottom of thier lineup no one are responsible to took responsibility hold wickets build partnership and put his team out trouble situation and into the driveway seat to win.

[Justin999]

1st inngins is over between Bangladesh & Sri Lanka test match.. Sri Lanka did 280 runs and Bangladesh did 188 runs. Sri Lankan player Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva both have scored century but Bangladesh condition was too bad that no player was seen to score half-century. After 31-3 runs and wickets, I haven't thought that Bangladesh could cross 150 runs but bowlers scored more than top batsman, Taijul Islam did 47 runs. Well 2nd inngins is started and Sri Lanka have done 119-5 runs and Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva still available for bat. So this time score might be higher again which will make bangladesh too hard to win

Those top order batters are already in the dugout and we shouldn't forget in the first inning Sri Lankan went from 258/5 to 280/all out.

Still, there is a chance that they could reach the 300 mark but it mostly depends on Skipper Dhanajaya and Kamidu because so far, only these 2 scored a ton in this match. No complaints on the pitch from my side.

[FinePoine0]

Still Bangladesh team is behind by 211 runs, Bangladesh team is not fit to play Test match at all. Because on the first day they lost all the wickets by scoring only 188 runs. The Bangladesh team performed very well in the T20I match which they performed in the first innings. The Bangladesh team has performed poorly in the Test match compared to the other matches in which the Bangladesh team performs well. In terms of bowling, the Bangladesh team is not able to put pressure on the Sri Lankan team in any way. Because basically the bowlers have gone to the IPL matches due to which Sri Lanka is getting a chance to score runs due to bowling in these Test matches.

102 from Dhananjaya de Silva and 102 from Kamindu Mendis has kept Sri Lanka ahead of Bangladesh in this match. Apart from these two batsmen there is complete batting failure from both sides. The 202 runs partnership and 92 runs lead in first innings has turned the table towards Sri Lanka and it's very much likely that Sri Lanka might won this test.
Sylhet pitch was much better when NZ played here the last test and now it's behaving like Mirpur Mine Field.

[synchronym]

In the first test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, seeing the performance of the Bangladesh team, the performance of the Bangladesh team was really disappointing. The performance of the batsmen of Bangladesh was very bad compared to the bowlers of Bangladesh. Bangladesh bowlers are performing very well in the Test match against Sri Lanka. If the batsmen could have batted responsibly, Bangladesh could have crossed the lead of 280 runs given by Sri Lanka and given Sri Lanka a new lead. But the batsmen of Bangladesh were all out for only 188 runs in the first innings due to the batting disaster, which is very disappointing for the Bangladesh team. The way Sri Lanka is batting in the second innings, the Bangladeshi bowlers are bowling from the attack from the beginning, if somehow Sri Lanka bats like the first innings, then it will be very difficult for Bangladesh to win the first test match. So the Bangladeshi bowlers should bowl out Sri Lanka in fewer runs so that the pressure on the Bangladeshi batsmen is a little less.

[MusaPk]

3rd day play is underway and Sri Lanka will resume there innings at a lead of 211 runs. All eyes are on Dhananjaya de Silva, he and Kamindu Mendis are the only one to score runs on such bowlers friendly pitch. Mendis is still not out for batting rather he has been shifted down to 10th position which is very much surprising. Sri Lanka need to make sure that they give target of over 275 runs to keep Bangladesh a tough task to win the game.

Yes those two Sri Lankan batsmen were the biggest obstacle in front of Bangladesh and they played a big innings showing their strength. Sri Lanka team is 221 runs ahead of Bangladesh now but they have one more day to play and with five wickets in hand maybe this target will be much bigger for Bangladesh. Today the Bangladeshi bowlers will have to bowl much better and they will have to aim so that the Sri Lankan team cannot give them a target of more than 300 runs. The more Sri Lanka scores 300 runs the more difficult it will be for Bangladesh to cross that mark.
But the good news for the Bangladesh team is that their all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is returning to cricket in the second Test match against Sri Lanka. Shakib Al Hasan is missing the entire series against Sri Lanka due to eye problem, maybe he is missing a lot in the Bangladesh team. He might come back to the game and strengthen the Bangladesh team.

De Silva and Mendis' partnership of 202 runs in the first innings allowed the Sri Lankan team to collect 280 runs. Apart from Dhananjata De Silva and Mendis, none of the batsmen in the squad performed well. On the other hand, we have seen the usual poor performance from the Bangladeshi batsmen. At the end of the first innings, the Bangladesh team was trailing by 92 runs. It's by a huge margin on this pitch.

I would say the outcome of the match will depend on today's first session performance. If Sri Lanka can collect up to 200 runs, and give a target of 280-290 runs, then I would say there is no chance for Bangladesh to win. Bangladesh squad now lacks a batsman who can bat responsibly and play big innings.

I won't be surprised if Sri Lanka lose all wickets between 160-170 if the Bangladeshi bowlers do well in the first session. It is difficult to stay at the crease in the first session on this pitch.

Sri Lanka team has already given a lead of 260 runs to Bangladesh which will be very difficult for Bangladesh. Because the way Sri Lanka is batting they will be able to score some more runs. The Bangladeshi bowlers are trying their best to restrict Sri Lanka to less runs with their best bowling. Bangladesh finished the first innings so badly due to batting disaster in their first innings Bangladesh batsmen were all out for only 188 runs. Second innings If Bangladesh wants to win the first test match against Sri Lanka then Bangladesh must bat well in the second innings otherwise they can never win against Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh team has not won even one of the last 10 Test matches against Sri Lanka. And I will say that the Bangladesh team is definitely going to be defeated in this match as well. And it is impossible to do well in the Test format with a weak and erratic batting order.

Earlier in the day Sri Lanka lost the wicket of Fernando. But like the first innings, the duo of De Silva and Mendis are batting brilliantly in the second innings as well. This pair has already collected 70 runs. Sri Lanka collected 196 runs after losing 6 wickets. Dhananjaya De Silva remained unbeaten on 63 runs and Mendis on 35 runs. Sri Lanka team has managed to take a lead of 288 runs. I do not see the possibility of Bangladesh winning this match.

The First test in second innings Sri Lanka on 233/6 in 63 overs and lead by 325 runs and the morning session end of 3rd day. Dimuth Karunaratne made fifty while captain de Silva and Kamindu Mendis on the crease the current partnership going on 107 runs between these players Captain De Silva was just 15 runs behind to make a century in 23 innings he scored a century also in 1st innings on other hand Nahid Rana takes two wickets while other four bowlers took single wickets Bangladesh scored very low in 1st innings they need to takes remaining wickets in 2nd session of day two under the target of 35 runs otherwise it will be impossible for Bangladesh team to chased this huge total. Now Sri lanka led by 325 runs

[jasonjm]

SL is in a commanding position in the 1st test match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In the 2nd inning BAN bowlers did well initially and took 6 wickets for 126 runs, But again, Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis came to rescue their team. An unbeaten partnership of over 150 runs took the game away from Bangladesh. de Silva is playing the captain's inning again, he scored a beautiful hundred. The lead is touching 400 and the chances are that Sri Lanka might declare the inning in the 3rd session today. To win this match, BAN has to play some exceptional cricket, but I think, on this pitch, they might not be able to chase such a huge target in the 4th inning. Sri Lanka is winning the test by a big margin.
