Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test, Day 1, Highlights: Angelo Mathews Unbeaten Ton Takes Sri Lanka To 258/4 At Stumps

We are back for the second innings of the Test match. The players are out in the middle. Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudul Hasan Joy will open the batting for Bangladesh. Vishwa Fernando will begin the proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

... Second Innings ...

Sri Lanka managed to build three partnerships in their innings which helped them get close to a total of 400. It all started with Dimuth Karunaratne walking back to the hut early on Day 1. Kusal Mendis and Angelo Mathews put up a stand close to 100. However, Angelo Mathews continued his merry way and built a partnership of 132 with Dinesh Chandimal, who was dismissed after a gritty innings of 66. It was the last partnership between Angelo Mathews and Vishwa Fernando which frustrated the opposition but helped Sri Lanka post a total of 397. The innings was surely dominated by one man, Angelo Mathews. But he will be gutted about missing out on his double-ton. Nevertheless, he should be proud of the way he has played. It's been an innings of absolute class. For Bangladesh it was the spinners who caused all the trouble. They were a bit sloppy in the field, which did cost them. But they fought back well. They were exceptional at the end of the first session and the beginning of the second. they grabbed 4 wickets in quick succession. But failed to capitalize on that towards the end. Nayeem Hasan was the leader of the pack as he grabbed 6 wickets, while Shakib Al Hasan picked up three wickets. The pitch still seems to be batting friendly and the Bangladesh openers will be hoping they bat through the remaining day.

So close yet so far for Angelo Mathews! Heartbreak for him. He has played a classy inning but has got dismissed for 199. But he has certainly guided Sri Lanka to a healthy total. Finally, Bangladesh have managed to get Sri Lanka all out. They had to toil hard for 5 and a half sessions to get Sri Lanka all out. It's been hard work for the hosts. But Sri Lanka will be pleased with their performance.

OUT! CAUGHT! Heartbreak for Angelo Mathews! He holes out one short of a double ton. End of an amazing innings from him, a few of the Bangladesh players come and give him a patt on his back too as he walks off but he is gutted. He can't believe he has not got that single run he needed to get to his second double century. He had just the one ball in this over to get to it and he tried to do so. The field was got in for him. He steps out, clever from Nayeem Hasan, he slows it up, drags his length back a little. Made Mathews reach for the ball. Angelo looks to whip it over the mid-wicket fielder but it goes more off the inner half and straight to Shakib at mid-wicket. He makes no mistake. Nayeem gets his sixth. That is the end of the Lankan innings. THEY END WITH 397!
