Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Sri Lanka decided to give Prasanna Jayawardene a shot at opening but that didn't last long as Mashrafe Mortaza dismissed him for a golden duck.

Sri Lanka are 1/3 after 2 overs.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Mortaza strikes again and Sangakkara is dismissed for 5.

Sri Lanka 2/12 off 4 overs.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Shakib gets the wicket of Jayawardene!!! He's gone for 11.

Sri Lanka 3/39 in the first session. A fantastic start for Bangladesh.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Sri Lanka 3/65 at Lunch.
Samaraweera 14*
Warnapura 30*

Session one of this test match goes to Bangladesh. Hopefully they continue this effort into session 2.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Shahadat Hossain get a wicket and Samaraweera is gone for 19.

Sri Lanka are now 4/75.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Ashraful bring himself on to bowl and gets a wicket first ball!!

Warnapura is gone for 63.

Sri Lanka 5/204.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Sri Lanka 5/229 at Tea.
Dilshan 95* (Off only 81 balls :eek:)
Kapugedera 26*

Bangladesh need a couple of quick wickets after the break.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Sri Lanka are 6/371 at stumps on Day 1.
Kapugedera 93*
Vaas 1*

Dilshan went out just before stumps for 162 off only 165 balls. A fantastic knock from him.

After a good start Bangladesh have let it slip and will struggle to get back into this match.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Shakib got Kapugedera LBW in the second over of the day for 96.

Then Vaas was dismissed by Mortaza for 3.

Sri Lanka are now 8/378.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Shakib gets Fernando for a duck and Sri Lanka are all out for 384.

Great work from Bangladesh to dismiss them so quickly today and particularly to Shakib who fought back after being smashed yesterday.

If Bangladesh can bat like they did in the last innings of the last test then this will be a good game.

And next innings Shakib will be on a hat-trick.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Mendis gets Raqibul Hasan in his first over for a duck.

Bangladesh are in big trouble at 3/33.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Mendis got Mehrab Hossain jnr and then Shakib for a golden duck.

Then Ashraful made an incredibly poor decision. He tried to reverse sweep Murali and was caught behind on 45. That's absolutely unacceptable for the captain, the bloke who's meant to be setting an example going out in that fashion.

Bangladesh 7/127. Another horrible first innings.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Bangladesh were bowled out for 208.

It could have been alot worse for Bangladesh with the score at one stage being 9/145. Thankfully Mortaza and Hossain put on 63 runs for the last wicket.

Mortaza was the last man dismissed for 63 with Hossain remaining not out on 5.

The major wicket takers for Sri Lanka were Mendis who took 4/66 and Murali who got 3/62.

Sri Lanka take a first innings lead of 172 runs but will be disappointed they couldn't break the last wicket partnership earlier in order to make Bangladesh follow on.
 
Re: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

Sri Lanka 0/13 at Stumps on Day 2.
Warnapura 7*
P. Jayawardene 6*

Sri Lanka have an overall lead of 189 runs.
