Stay tuned for the Sri Lankan innings in a short while...
Bangladesh end their innings at a mammoth 495 runs, building on the solid foundation laid by Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, and Mushfiqur Rahim. The pair of Mushfiqur and Shanto recorded a 247-run partnership on Day 1, helping Bangladesh recover from 45/3 to 292/3 at stumps. Resuming on Day 2, they continued their dominance, with Shanto falling just short of 150. Rahim scored 163 before being given out LBW, and Litton Das scored 90 before following suit.
