Angelo Mathewss 12th Test century, as well as the third-wicket partnership of 92 runs with Kusal Mendis, re-energised Sri Lanka in the second session, then kept things locked in Sri Lankas favour until late in the day. Kusal Mendis (54) and Dinesh Chandimal (66) scored half centuries to reduce the deficit, while Oshada Fernando (36) and Dimuth Karunaratne (9) shared 23 runs partnership for the first wicket. However, Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal dashed Bangladeshs hopes of taking the lead in an opening Test against Bangladesh by playing a risk-free knock.
They lost a couple of wickets after tea, but Chandimal came next and stabilized the innings with Angelo Mathews (114*). Oshada could not convert the start that Oshada got out to, but Mendis and Mathews put together a better partnership in the session after lunch. Among Bangladeshs bowlers, spinner Nayeem Hasan returned with two wickets, and Taijul Islam and Shakib Al Hasan took one wicket apiece.
Sri Lankan captain Dimuth Karunaratne struggled against Bangladesh offspinner Nayeem Hasan himself, who returned figures of 2-71, having played in his first Test since February last year. Bangladesh offspinner Nayeem Hasan finally got Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne leg-before for nine off a fast delivery, leaving Sri Lanka reeling at 23-1. Sri Lankas oldest gun, Angelo Mathews, stands tall in day one of Bangladeshs maiden Test match.
