Vaccinized.. immunity level is full.
Sri Lanka's innings ended with 506 runs. And Angelo Mathews was unbeaten on 145. Sri Lanka is in the lead of 141 runs from Bangladesh. Sri Lankan batsmen played very well. Bangladesh is batting now. Bangladesh is collecting 9 runs in 2 overs without losing any wicket. Now the goal of Bangladesh batsmen should be to try to survive at the crease and draw the match.

Bangladesh lost 3 wickets for only 19 runs. Now I think we might see the result of this match. The performance of Bangladesh batsmen in the first innings was very bad. If Liton and Mushfiqur had not played well, Bangladesh would have lost all their wickets before 100 runs. Liton and Mushfiqur were able to play well in the first innings. It is foolish to think that the Bangladesh team will collect big score in the second innings depending on them.

Srilanka have got the lead now, but Bangladesh needs to quickly find a way to take those remaining 5 wickets if they wish to set a target for Srilanka to chase. Lastly it’s quiet possible that Bangladesh may not take any risk, and if that’s going to be the case then both countries fans will be disappointed as their respective teams played out yet another boring match.
Sri Lanka scored 501 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. They are ahead of Bangladesh by 136 runs. Angelo Mathews is still unbeaten on 142 runs. The performance of Bangladeshi bowlers was very poor. At the same time, Bangladesh management should have kept Miraj in the squad on such a pitch. Sri Lanka's innings will probably end in a few more overs. However, like the first match, this match will also be a draw.
Angelo Mathews has been consistent in this series. He did hit more than a ton in the last test match and did the same in this match too. It is because of him Srilanka was able to set a lead of 137 runs. Tomorrow Bangladesh will got to bat and they will try to utilize the whole day eventually this match as you said will be a draw.

OK.. then it is confirmed. Even after 10 days of play in two matches, we will not get a result. The fourth day's play is about to begin and Sri Lanka's first innings is not yet completed. I understand that rain interruption resulted in some loss of overs, but I don't think that the outcome could have been any different if there was no rain. Both the teams are not aiming for a win. Sri Lanka's run rate has once again dipped below 3 runs per over, and this is not how teams bat if they are aiming for a win. The entire test series between these two sides have been a meaningless one so far.

Thats the irony of Test cricket, you play for 5 days and still no result. The reason why there are not many nations in cricket is because of Test format. Since most part of cricket history is composed of Test format only. Srilanka are 83 runs behind which they will chase on forth day, but still there are very rear chances of result of this match.

Yesterday I thought there is a chance to see a winner of the second test match. But now the chance is quite low, the rain has reduced the possibility. Sri Lanka has 5 wickets left, Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathews will start batting on day 4. The weather condition isn't good at Bangladesh. There is a high chance of rain in the upcoming days. As a result, draw is the most possible outcome of this match now.

We are still at the early stage of the game. We shouldn't judge the 5 days result by watching the first two days of this test match. Bangladeshi batting lineup has collapsed during the first session of day 1 and day 2. Sri Lanka has scored 143 runs by losing 2 wickets. The situation of the game will be different if Sri Lankans batting lineup collapsed in the first session of day 3. Let's wait and see how ‘The Lions’ plays in the first session of tomorrow.
OK.. I agree with you. 3 days of play remain (270 overs), and there is a good chance that the momentum may change. I would say that there will be a good chance of a result, if Bangladesh manages to bowl out Sri Lanka before the end of today's second session. But in case Sri Lanka bats out today's sessions, and manages to get to a total of close to 400, then the chances of a result will be very slim. They are still trailing by 200+ runs and given the slow rate of scoring, there is a good chance that the Lankans may play defensively and target a draw. If there is a result, then it will be in favor of Bangladesh.

Well jokes on you because 3 days already have been played and we also had a delay because of rain interruption. I really am not expecting any result in this match except for a draw. And considering the fact that this is a batting pitch, I don't think any results will be possible even though both the teams try really hard. And I really don't think that either of the teams are going to take that chance.

Sri lanka vs Bangladesh

The match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is being delayed due to rain. Sri Lanka lost 4 wickets for 210 runs. The crease now includes Angelo Mathews and Dhananjaya de Silva. Two good enough batsmen. Sri Lanka will probably bat till the first session tomorrow. And like the first match, this match will be a draw. If the match was not delayed due to rain, there was a possibility of seeing a result of the match.
Srilanka trails by 150 runs and has also lost 4 wickets. Bangladesh's performance in this match has been really well and if the rain had not delayed the match then they would have claimed a few more wickets. I think this game is also going to be a draw as day 3 is going to end soon and on day 4 Srilanka will try to bat throughout the day.

This match has no option but to be drawn. At the end of the third day, Sri Lanka lost only 5 wickets. If the batting of Bangladesh is not a disaster. Then it can be said for sure that this match will be a draw. On the other hand, I have seen the weather report. The match is likely to be delayed tomorrow due to rain. If the match is delayed tomorrow due to rain then the match will be drawn.

You are right. However, even if it does not rain, the chances of a draw are strong. Because tomorrow is the fourth day, and Sri Lanka will be able to finish at least the first session quite well. The crease still has experienced batsmen like Angelo Mathews and Chandimal. Moreover, the performance of Bangladesh bowlers was not good.

Sri Lanka has actually lost 5 wickets at the end of day 3 and they have scored 282 runs and they are still trailing by 83 runs. As  I expected Shakib Al Hasan is bowling well for Bangladesh. but to be honest I still think this match is going to end in a draw because already it is a batting-friendly pitch and there was already some delay because of rain. There is no way this match is going to have a result unless something really unbelievable and quite stupid happens.

Srilanka trailing by 97 runs and 18 over still left in today's play. Srilanka will level Bangladesh first innings quite easily not sure whether they will take any lead or not. Angelo is still on the crease with 54 runs in his account. Most probably this match will end in a draw or if Bangladesh batting collapsed just like it collapsed in first innings, who knows SL may get a victory here.
Here's the score-line at the end of day three, SL 282/5 and trailing by 83 runs.
Mathews and Chandimal both stand their position strong at the end of day three, and very possible they aim to stay at the pitch as long as possible. Bangladeshi ballers Shakib Al Hasan able to pick up three wickets, but the first season of day four will be very important for the ballers. BAN should pick up all the rest wickets and give decent lead. Day four will conclude this match result. Perhaps this match also drawn, let's see.

Day 2 is completed and it looks as if the second test match will also end up as a draw. How does it sound? 10 days of play and still no result. I am glad that I haven't watched a single ball from this series on TV. Saved a lot of time. Anyway, nice to see Shakib Al Hasan getting in to the wickets, although he was not that impressive with the bat. The only positive for Bangladesh from this series is the fact that they have proved the argument of Shakib's one man army wrong. Even without significant contribution from Shakib, the team has put up a good performance.

The outcome of this match will depend on the first session tomorrow. Tomorrow's first session if the Sri Lankan batsmen are able to control themselves. Srilankan Player can able to collect 143 runs and lose only 2 wickets. Karunaratne is now unbeaten on 70 runs.  I think this pitch is spin-friendly. SO if Bangladeshi caption uses their spin bowler at the start of the 3rd day, Bangladesh will be able to take some wickets quickly.

Bangladesh will not be able to collect 400 runs. Even collecting 350 is now difficult for them. Bangladesh lost the wickets of Liton and Mosaddeq in the same over. Mosaddeq could not collect any runs. The fourth batsman of Bangladesh who returned to the dressing room with zero runs in this match. It is very unprofessional batting of Bangladeshi batsmen. However, we are accustomed to seeing such irregular batting in Bangladeshi players in the Test format.

Apart from Litton and Mushfiqur Rahim  no other Bangladeshi try to score runs. It's not the first time we saw such strange batting behaviour from Bangladeshi batting lineup. Srilanka made a strong reply and made 143/2 at stumps. Now most probably we have a draw.
Bangladesh made the highest partnership ever in a Test after 24/5, that's quite unusual. Such rescue jobs don't happen all the time, but they are very rare. Bangladesh should be proud of their records despite losing quick wickets. But the Sri Lankan batters put the game under control and most probably headed for another draw.
