The way in which the top order performed surprised me after loosing one of the opener for a duck they took the match away from Sri Lanka and the rest of the players performed big and without the presence of Shakib and Mustafizur they might struggle taking 20 wickets as some mentioned earlier. Will see how the match goes and Sri Lanka will be happy with a draw from this situation.

Draw would be great for Sri Lanka, but I really doubt whether they'll be able to do it. Right now Bangladesh is at a very comfortable position, at 474/4. They should be able to reach somewhere around 550-600 before the end of first session today, which means that Sri Lanka needs to score 350-400 to start with, in order to avoid follow on. But here the catch is that Bangladesh is missing some of the most experienced bowlers. So can they limit Sri Lanka to less than 350-400 in the first innings? And if they are able to do that, should they ask Sri Lanka to follow on?

I think the match will be a draw. Bangladesh declared the innings after scoring 541 runs. Good enough batting. But the Bangladesh squad has very few experienced and skilled bowlers. So I think the Test match will be a draw. Sri Lanka has already scored 141 runs for the loss of just one wicket.

Yes, this match is going to be a draw. Sri Lanka have lost three wickets by the end of day 3 and trail by 312 runs. In the remaining two days there is more chance for wickets as the pitch changes after few days of play. Even after that it is quite impossible to get a result. This will make the second match more fighting, because winner takes the series.

If they had Shakib Al Hasan in their squad then i would give them a fighting chance to win the match as he is a wicket taking spinner but the problem is that Shakib Al Hasan did not perform that well in the IPL and what happens if he looses his place in the playing eleven, it would be devastating as he could have played a much better role for the national team and the fans would hate him Grin

If they continue with the current rate, then they will end up at 550-560. Ideally, they should be looking at 600 plus. All that said, quite an impressive performance from Bangladesh considering the fact that star players such as Shakib and Mustafizur are not part of the team due to IPL commitments.

Bangladesh should declare now and let Srilanka bat early in the morning as weather forcast is not encouraging for last 2 days and they have enough runs on the board, additionally i have a doubt if Bengal tigers could take 20 wickets back 2 back when forcing follow on.

Team Bangladesh should bat one more session of tomorrow. And they need to add minimum 100 more runs before giving the declaration of their first innings. It will keep them ahead if the pitch become favourable for bowler from tomorrow. Everything will depend on Bangladeshi bowler though, I believe they have the ability to take the wickets. I'm expecting good bowling figure from Mehidy Hasan, Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed.

I totally agree with you. If they bat the next day on this pitch I am sure they will face a batting disaster. I think it would be wise for them to declare the innings by batting until they lose 2 wickets the next day. The condition of the pitch now is that if the bowlers can bowl well, they can pick up wickets quickly.

^^^ Their scoring rate seems to have accelerated after Liton Das came to bat. They have crossed 450, and may be looking to add another 100-150 runs. That would mean that the declaration won't come before the end of the day's play (because only 31 overs are remaining). If they continue with the current rate, then they will end up at 550-560. Ideally, they should be looking at 600 plus. All that said, quite an impressive performance from Bangladesh considering the fact that star players such as Shakib and Mustafizur are not part of the team due to IPL commitments.

I don't know what the Bangladesh batsmen are thinking. So far in this session, they have scored just 45 runs in 18 overs (which amounts to just 2.5 runs per over). They have 8 wickets in hand, and I would have expected them to score quickly and declare before the start if third session. Seems like the Bangladesh captain would like to bat for entire day today. For Sri Lanka, no quick wickets in the opening session. The morale seems to be very low.

Bangladesh wants to bat the entire day and score above 600 runs so that they do not need to come back to bat again and the last two days the pitch might help the spinners and they have plenty of spinners in their team and they will miss Shakib Al Hasan but i think they have the spinners to compensate that.

When England dominated Sri Lanka in their turf i thought it was because England are a strong team but the same is happening with Bangladesh as their batsman are dominating the first two days and Sri Lanka might struggle when the pitch deteriorates.

Is anyone watching the Test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka live? I just looked at the scoreboard. Bangladesh team is playing very well. After the end of 70 overs. Bangladesh lost only 2 wickets and scored 245 runs. Bangladesh lost their first wicket on 8 runs. 245 runs is a big collection for Bangladesh. After the disaster in the previous series, it seems that Bangladesh will play well in this series.

I was not aware of this test match, most of us are busy with IPL. Good to hear Bangladesh has scored 245 after losing only 2 wickets. I just checked the scoreboard and found that Najmul Hossain Shanto has scored 145 runs and is still on the pitch. Good chance for him to score double hundred in this test.

@Swordsoffreedom I feel that Bangladesh player’s have learnt their lessons , and that’s why they batted very well in yesterday’s play. Also I doubt that we’ll see a collapse today, and in fact I feel that we can see them score more than 600 runs and pile up huge pressure on Srilankan player’s.

The partnership between Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque has added 150 runs till now. 500-550 looks possible, but nothing can be guaranteed if the Sri Lankans manage to pick up some early wickets. Anyway, this is an amazing performance from the Bangladesh team, playing abroad. Ever since they got the test status, they have won just 14 out of the 121 test matches played by them. Hope that things will change for the better from now.

At the end of the first day, Bangladesh collected 302 runs and they lost 2 wickets. I think if the Bangladesh team can start the next day well, they will be able to collect more than 500 runs. Mushfiq, Liton and Miraz are all very good batsmen. I think they will be able to play the whole next day and declare the innings after collecting 550+ runs.

If they bat sensibly, then it may be possible to add another 250 runs in 60 overs. So they can declare by tea, and then have 30 overs to bowl tomorrow. But given the inconsistent nature of the Bangladesh team, I would restrain from giving any overly optimistic scenarios. Ideally they should reach 500-550 before the declaration tomorrow. The Lankan bowlers looks demoralized.. but still they can come back in to the game if they are able to take a few quick wickets tomorrow.

I was going through all the four matches at the same time. The test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is ongoing, and at the same time there are three T20 matches being broadcast on TV (IPL match between Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, T20Is between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, and Netherlands and Malaysia). Bangladesh are now in very strong position, and I guess they will be able to make somewhere around 450-500, if their middle order doesn't collapse. Najmul Hossain Shanto got his first test hundred today.

I was watching the match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka till the match of PBKS vs SRH of IPL was held. Bangladesh batsmen are batting really great. Especially opener Tamim Iqbal has played great. It is easy to collect a big run if the top-order batsmen perform well. After the top order batsmen got out quickly, winning the match became difficult. Najmul Hasan Shanto is unbeaten on 102 runs. Hopefully, he will make his innings longer.

It will be interesting times for the lower ranked teams as you say some are having a hard time keeping their players to play for their country because they can earn better money elsewhere. I also think this virus will have an affect on some teams as not many are able to play cricket right now due to the virus and not many are playing domestic cricket so it could put a halt on young talented players coming through.

Even here in India, the 4-day domestic tournament was cancelled for two consecutive years (2020 and 2021). The ODI/T20 tournaments took place, but the number of matches were reduced. It not just affects the match fitness of the players, but also their financial capability as well. Because these players receive a payment of ₹140,000 for each 4-day match, while the salary is just one-fourth of that for the T20 and ODI matches.
