Second test day between 2 Sri Lanka And Bangladesh A prominent for hosts in Colombo, headline by a masterclass from the opener Pitham NisankaWith early stumps due to poor light, Sri Lanka left comfortably at 290/2 in response to Bangladesh’s 247 – already ahead of 43 runs and with a strong grip in the competition.
Solid Start sets tone for Sri Lanka on 2 days
The day started with Sri Lanka with a quick wrapping of Bangladesh’s innings, which scored only 27 more runs on the night score. With speed on them, opener Nisanka and Lahiru Udara A strong foundation laid. The pair added 83 runs before lunch and mostly looked unbreakable against the Bangladeshi attack.
Taijul Islam Ultimately, Udara was rejected for 42 and provided success, but by then, the loss had already been done. When Bangladesh missed a golden opportunity to tighten the nose Dinesh Chandimal Arrived and quickly looked unstable, yet they failed to capitalize.
Patham Nisanka and Dinesh Chandimal Pile at pressure
This was followed by a batting exhibition as Nisanka and Chandimal made a large -scale stand of 194 runs for the second wicket. Nisanka, calm and composed, punished anything loose, while Chandimal cleverly rotated the strike and kept pressure on the bowlers.
Bangladesh tried various strategies-at least Hasan MahmudDefense lines from Tajul and Mehidi Hasan Miraz -But till Chandimal, no one bored the fruit, in the sight of a century, falling for 93, threw his wicket with a sick-element reverse sweep.
Even Chandimal left late during the day, Nisanka remained unmatched. The right -handed batsman brought his second century of the series and remained unbeaten on 146, directed Sri Lanka to a position of dominance, before the poor Prakash forced a initial end to proceed. Still in hand with 43 -run cushion and eight wickets, Sri Lanka will aim to build a massive first innings on day 3. If they continue in the same tempo, they will imagine their possibilities to force a result, especially after the first testing ends in the draw.

Great Day for Sl.
Patham Nisanka made the second century of the series and on his way for a big. Unfortunate for Chandimal for 93 out. Great partnership.
Total is coming on a large scale.

Oh, I see that Patam Nisanka scored back to back in hundreds of Tests. Good progressive run of your career so far and I hope it will be even better in the coming years. He is set to be the next batting great and Sri Lankan cricket legend. https://t.co/H6BKMNHUED
