Pitch Report: Russel Arnold assesses the surface. Mentions that the cracks are opening up and that's a concerning sign for the batters. Reckons that the Bangladeshi batters need to take a leaf out of the books of Dhananjaya and Kamindu Mendis and play attacking cricket.
09:30 Local Time, 03:30 GMT, 09:00 IST: Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the Sylhet Test. Dhananjaya and Kamindu Mendis staged a remarkable recovery for the visitors yesterday with their 202-run partnership. Their new-ball bowlers made their day better by nipping out three Bangladeshi wickets.
Both Dhananjaya and Kamindu scored brilliant centuries but fell in successive overs, courtesy Nahid Rana. Although the tail didn't wag, the 202-run stand between Dhananjaya and Kamindu had already led the visitors to the shores of safety. In response, Vishwa Fernando nipped out Zakir Hasan early. After that, Fernando trapped Shanto in front as well. Rajitha then nicked off Mominul in the slip cordon as the visitors ended the day on a high. The Bangladeshi batters have their task cut out as there will be assistance available for the opposition pace bowlers in the morning session. Join us tomorrow for Day 2. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
17:35 Local Time, 11:35 GMT, 17:05 IST: Quite an absorbing day of Test cricket! As many as 13 wickets fell and there was a lot of action!
