Sri Lankan bowlers restrict Bangladesh to 220 for eight at stumps on day 1 of the second test
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, June 25, (AP): Debutant spinner Sonal Dinusha and fast bowlers Vishwa Fernando and Asitha Fernando took two wickets each to help Sri Lanka limit Bangladesh to 220 for eight at stumps on the opening day of the second cricket test on Wednesday. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and elected to bat first at the Singhalese Sports Club. The visitors endured a nervous start, losing their first wicket with the total on five. Opening batter Anamul Haque failed to capitalize on a reprieve when Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis dropped him off fast bowler Asitha Fernando. But he was soon out by the same bowler after a few deliveries without scoring. Mominul Haque and Shadman Islam shared a promising partnership of 38 runs, but Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva removed Mominul (21), caught by substitute fielder Pawan Rathnayake. This left the visitors 71 for two at lunch. Sri Lanka took two quick wickets after lunch as Fernando had Shanto, who scored centuries in each innings in the first test in Galle, caught behind by Mendis for eight. Off-spinner Tharindu Rathnayake then had Shadman caught by de Silva for 46, the highest score of the innings so far, leaving Bangladesh four down for 76. Sri Lanka missed out on another wicket when Lahiru Udara dropped Mushfiqur Rahim in the deep on eight.
