Here we go. The skipper to start.
The batting of Bangladesh did crumble in the first Test and didn't show the promise that they possess. But a good start here has given them renewed hope. Some level of discipline on this track will help the batters as bowlers have enjoyed little success only over the course of the first two days. Bangladesh batters have to set the ball rolling! Action begins in 20 minutes.
Day 3: Bangladesh have a mountain to climb. They are after 531. The final stages of day 2 saw them script a little bit of a resurgence but that has to continue on day 3 and a good part on day 4 as well if they intend to somehow bridge the gap between themselves and the visitors. The wicket is still a belter and the Lankan bowlers will know it won't be easy to pick up wickets.
17:35 Local Time, 11:35 GMT, 17:05 IST: Bangladesh have started off decently
