Match looks evenly poised.

If Bangladesh wants to win this Test and the series they will have to take at least 5 wickets tomorrow and look to wrap the tail up as early as possible on Day 4. That will mean SL will have a marginal lead, and Bangladesh would have to bat well for about 3 sessions to give them 75-80 overs on Day 5 to force a result.

But bravo to Mushfiq and Liton. Ebadat and the bowlers will need to be disciplined tomorrow.


Bloody hell. Looks like the test series will end up drawn with all this rain. Wouldve loved to see a result. Some good test cricket. I think SL will be happier if it does turn out a draw

One of the best knocks there by Mushfiqur and Litton in the first innings. The series might well end in a draw, I agree. All of a sudden we have started to witness a lot of drawn tests. Pak - Aus 2 tests drawn, Eng-WI 2 tests drawn and now SLN-Ban...
ZCF Hall of Famer
Wow! Srilanka on course to win the series unless Mushfiq and Litton do it all over again! With some help from Shakib. It looks all too difficult for Bangladesh atm.

Disgusting top order batting from BD once again. How they cannot bat in home conditions is just unfathomable to me.

Fernando and Rajitha have bowled well, but they are hardly world class yet...Tamim and Shakib and Mominul have too much experience to fail like this repeatedly.

I will say though, these 2 SL seamers are certainly exciting and will allow them to move past the likes Lahiru Kumara and Dushmantha Chameera.

might be mishearing but are the bangali players saying aiyo when fielding?
ZCF Hall of Famer
Shakib plays well in such situations, he likes to counter attack and that's what he has done so far. Bangladesh need a session now without losing more than 1 wicket.

Litton is in the form of his life.

Whats your rreview of the game Kriterion


We needed a flat pitch as that was our best shot of getting a win. We got pretty much the perfect wicket but our bowling was consistent enough and Sri Lanka batted well to save the Test.

I wouldn't mind seeing a seaming wicket in Dhaka, although Asitha and Rajitha bowled really well in the 1st game. I hope it's not a raging turner, which is likely because SL will have a clear advantage on a dustbowl.

BTW we're is Jayawickrama? He's twice as good as Emboldeniya...


Embuldeniya is normally better with his line and length but yeah as shown by this match still inconsistent. I think Ramesh needs to be dropped for Jayawickrama. But yeah interesting series so far.


Why is Hasaranga not preferred for tests? I think he can do a good job in red ball cricket as well.

Easy win for Sri Lanka ... Bangladesh will be very disappointed with this. They are a good team at home and would have fancied their chances against SLN.

This is an excellent series win from Sri Lanka's perspective.

He`s a leggie. Bowls a pie once every 2 overs at least. Check his stats out in south Africa. Decent batter though.

Well done by SL. Clinical win.

Asitha just the 2nd SL seamer with a 10 fer...that too on a fairly flat track.

Decent bowling from our spinners and Ebadat but nothing to really write home about.

Putrid top order batting all year long and especially in thus series.

Bd bowling was definitely hampered by injuries but yeah the top order batting was rather dreadful. Lost the series there

It's a shame Mossadek Hossain's batting average drop from above 40 to below 30. He'll be a scapegoat for the 24-5 & 23-4 starts. He was batting at 7. So, I also read Domingo's comments & he stated that they were looking for Mossadek to be able to bowl around 15 overs in an innings. I knew he could roll his arm over but isn't that an unreal expectation? I didn't think he was that strong a bowling option.

I mean, when they finally move on from Shakib, they are expecting Mossadek to be the 5th bowler.

I know he's had injury & eye issues, but it does look like he's going to be one of those blokes who just can't get an extended run & won't achieve what he's capable of at the highest level.
