Welcome back for the final session!
14:42 Local Time, 08:42 GMT, 14:12 IST -- Tea, Day 1: Just the session Sri Lanka needed after the disastrous morning session. They went wicketless and scored at a brisk pace as well. The help that was present in the first session disappeared and Bangladesh bowlers struggled to keep a lid on the boundary scoring. For the first 30-40 minutes of the session, the two batters were scoring at over 6rpo and only the introduction of Mehidy brought some discipline to the bowling department. Dhananjaya and Kamindu Mendis didn't give any chance to the opposition and counterattacked in the first half, and once the field was spread they picked up the ones and twos with ease. The pitch seems to have flattened out and Sri Lanka need to make the most of this partnership. We will be back in 15 mins for the final session..
