4:46 AM
350 up
SL 350/4 (99) CRR: 3.54
 
 
4 hours later…
8:50 AM
SL 476/7 (144) at Tea on day 2 CRR: 3.30
Matthews and Jayasuriya are the only out SL batsman not to make at least 50
Still no SL centurion
 
9:31 AM
Fernando ran 3 (151.2)
🔴 Vishwa Fernando 11 (26) run out (Najmul Hossain Shanto) (151.5)
Third batsman not to make 50
 
A J
500 up with a boundary
SL 503/8 (154) CRR: 3.27
@PaulWhite Kusal Mendis was the closest to be one
 
9:47 AM
SL 510/8 (155) CRR 3.29
 
A J
With this score, I doubt SL will have to bat again
 
That seems to be the plan
BAN will be tired after fielding for two whole days
 
A J
Perhaps another Mendis may get the century
@PaulWhite Trur
 
22 runs short
 
A J
His intentions looks clear
2 BAN bowlers got the century
 
9:53 AM
🔴 Lahiru Kumara 6 (12) b Mehidy Hasan Miraz (156.3)
 
A J
4th one
 
K Mendis won't be happy with that batting approach
6 runs needed to tie for the highest Test team score without a century
 
A J
He didn't have to go for a big shot
 
Exactly
SL 518/9 (157) CRR 3.29
 
A J
I wonder if BAN will bat today
 
9:58 AM
Almost certainly
21 overs remaining, one wicket
 
A J
😂 the field is well spread out
 
India currently has the record of 524 without a century
Mendis 🙌
That takes the record but they'll lose it again if Mendis scores 100+
another Mendis 🙌
Century up for Taijul Islam
🔴 Asitha Fernando plastic 🤣🦆 run out (Taijul Islam) (158.6)
SL 531 (159)
SL take the record for the highest Test team total without a century from India
Kamindu Mendis 92* (167)
Kusal Mendis 93 (150)
Good day to be a K Mendis
Joy ran 3 (0.1)
 
10:39 AM
BAN 17/0 (3)
Zakir Hasan b2b boundaries off Asitha Fernando
BAN 26/0 (4) CRR 6.50
Fernando bowling from both ends
 
11:05 AM
BAN 36/0 (8) CRR 4.50
BAN 45/0 (10) - good start for them
 
A J
Yup
 
11:23 AM
No joy for BAN
🔴 Mahmudul Hasan Joy 21 (42) b Kumara (12.3)
BAN 47/1
Taijul Islam is the nightwatchman
50 up
BAN 51/1 (13)
BAN 55/1 (15) at Stumps on day 2, they trail by 476 runs
 
A J
11:41 AM
They did better than I expected
 
Yes, me too. I thought they might lose 3 or 4 wickets before the close of play
