SL vs BAN 2ND TEST – SCORECARD
DAY 2 REPORT
Pathum Nissanka’s second successive Test century led Sri Lanka to a formidable 290 for two after Bangladesh was bowled out for 247 on day two of the second Test on Thursday.
The opening batter’s chanceless unbeaten 146 off 238 balls with 18 fours followed his career-best 187 in the drawn first Test at Galle last week.
Nissanka and Dinesh Chandimal ground down the Bangladesh bowlers with their 194-run second wicket stand.
Chandimal was seven runs from a century, 93 off 153 balls, when he tried to reverse sweep Nayeem Hasan and gloved an easy catch to wicketkeeper Litton Das in fading light. Chandimal was dismissed in the 90s for the first time.
