00:00Bangladesh won the toss, they decided to bat and batting is what they did exceptionally
00:14well, making 484 for 9 with skipper Shanto making a magnificent 148, Mushmiko making
00:22163 and ending his barren run and Litton also chipping in with a magnificent knock, very
00:28unfortunate to miss out on 100. Sri Lankan bowling, it was a real toil but wickets shared
00:34by Asita Fernando who bowled exceptionally well at the top 3 for 80, Ilan Ratnika came
00:39back, look at his economy, 1.68 and 3 for 38 and Tharendu Ratnika, that was a marathon spell,
00:463 for 196 but Prabhat Jaya Surya, I think for the first time has gone wicketless at goal.
00:53Right, so we are ready to start play on day 3, let's go across and join our first commentators,
00:57Russell Arnold and Favis Maharou.
01:02Third day of the first test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, here's Asita Fernando.
01:16Bottom edge over the top of the wicketkeeper and first outs on day 3, courtesy of a bottom edge
01:22to Hasan Mahmoud.
01:27Hit him somewhere, he does well, Kusal Mendes hangs on to it and he's been given a bit of
01:33footwork from Rana to avoid falling on the stumps but it doesn't matter.
01:38Well directed, on the prettiest side how to play down the leg side by Nayd Rana, good movement
01:48by Kusal Mendes.
01:51The two fast bowlers, seven wickets between them for all the hard work they have done.
01:56It's a big score, a lot of pressure on Sri Lanka now, the captain 148, Mushvikur 163, Littandas
02:0790.
02:09The main contributors for Bangladesh, a strong innings after deciding to bat first.
02:16Asita and Milan revoated for all their hard work they did as well as Tandurat Nayak on debut
02:23was very impressive though, economic rates on almost four runs.
02:26In the end, Bangladesh all out for 495 in 153.4 overs.
02:31Patum Nisanka, one of the few players who feature for Sri Lanka across all three formats.
02:41Strange record though for Reece, he's averaging 36.
02:44He averages 50 plus in away test matches and he's averaging Sri Lanka just down to 25.
02:54He's got no average, this man, because he's out there for the first time in test cricket, Lahiru Udara.
03:00Here's my mood.
03:03Edge four went straight down, there was no chance at all.
03:15Oh short and this time has got a hold of it.
03:21Was short asking to be punished and immediately thrusted away to the boundary.
03:26Yes, in the previous over against Hassan, he missed one.
03:32But after that, he stroked the ball quite nicely in that region.
03:39He's punished when you bowl it too straight.
03:45It'll be easy for the batter to just flick the ball and just use the pace and put it away to the boundary.
03:52Very nice looking shot.
03:54Now a bit of angle with that delivery which was used by the debutant quite nicely.
04:07Oh, he just threw his bat on it.
04:10It's just over the top, so right away to the boundary.
04:13Yeah, he was fetching.
04:17Well, one good thing he did over there was fully committed that stroke.
04:23Didn't stutter on the cube.
04:25And that's why, but very high.
04:34That's nicely dealt with.
04:40That's the length that batters will take on any day.
04:45That's the comfortable height.
04:51He wanted them to drive the ball and ties them.
04:54Now he's got the full face of the bat and races away.
04:57That's a good looking shot for four hours.
05:01Did not try to over hit the ball.
05:04Managed to hit the ball on the up too.
05:09Now he's setting down in this arena.
05:16Nice, beautiful looking shot.
05:19That is delectable.
05:21Races away to the boundary.
05:26Once again hitting the ball on the up with high elbow.
05:31Now he's making his mark.
05:36To full, flicks it away.
05:39Long chase for the fielder.
05:43It teases him to the boundary.
05:45So more boundaries.
05:49Changed ploys very quickly with the faster bowlers.
05:52Now going to be bowling in shorter spells from the media box end
05:56and spin from the other.
06:01Oh, they got him.
06:04He stripped that back.
06:06Taijul gets his man.
06:08He played well, I must say, but this evening the flight.
06:12Look at how he dips.
06:13He was playing a little bit too early.
06:17And straight back down Taijul's throat.
06:20Clever bowling.
06:22Well, he'll be terribly disappointed.
06:24Out for 29.
06:25Perlanka 47 for one.
06:28Taijul was going wide at the crease.
06:30Probing around the off stump.
06:31This is Chandimal.
06:33Well, most experienced player after Angelo Matthews in the side.
06:42First runs for Chandimal.
06:43Good transfer of weight and he squeezes that through for four.
06:53That's it hard.
06:54Beats the fielder in the deep.
06:59And gave him a lot of time and through the gap.
07:02Hit well.
07:03Wasn't too short, but.
07:04One of me sunk her strength quickly onto the back foot.
07:14Not all that short, but he was onto it quickly.
07:19Short, slightly short in the gap.
07:23Hatham Nisang, he timed and plays it so well.
07:35And something loose is going to be punished.
07:40Short, Hatham Nisang used at the depth of the crease very well.
07:44Mushi lets it go.
07:48Enticing the batter, inducing the edge.
07:50Threw the bat at it.
07:53Fortunate four runs there.
07:56Last ball before lunch.
08:03Comes down, smothers the spin.
08:05And that is it.
08:07That is lunch on day three here.
08:09First test match at Goal International Stadium.
08:15That's how it stands at the moment.
08:17495 for Bangladesh in their first inning.
08:20Sri Lanka replying solidly.
08:22100 for one.
08:24Feeling about 395 runs.
08:29Dinesh Shandimal has taken his time.
08:3222 of 47.
08:33Hatham Nisang at the other end.
08:3846 is slightly quicker.
08:40Of 83 balls.
08:426 4s.
08:50Gets a run of the first ball.
08:52Nisang on 49.
08:54And that's his 50.
08:57Could you believe it that this is his first score of 50 or more while playing at home in test since November 2021.
09:07So that's been nine innings.
09:09He's been without a half century.
09:10You spoke about he has a good technique and that he knows how to improvise.
09:25This is Shandimal.
09:28He can improvise.
09:29That's very short.
09:33That's too short.
09:34That's four.
09:35Short and wide.
09:37Not an occasion where he got an opportunity to find a boundary.
09:41That he missed.
09:45Over pitched and driven.
09:47That will run away for four.
09:48That was a little bit too full.
09:51It was up to Nisanka where that ball was heading.
09:56Opted for extra cover.
10:05Another good drive from Nisanka.
10:08And a familiar result.
10:10A boundary.
10:12Just look at how he gives himself room.
10:16Excellent batting.
10:17He's dragging that back leg.
10:20Opening himself up.
10:25Oh.
10:27He threw the bat at it.
10:29And he got that thick edge to take it to the boundary.
10:36Too good.
10:38Too good.
10:39He saw that.
10:40It was a lot flatter and quicker.
10:43Nisanka rolling along nicely.
10:48Carries on with the arm.
10:50Waits.
10:51And then at the last moment.
10:53Opening the face.
10:54Guiding the ball.
10:55Using whatever pace.
10:57Title is offering.
10:58And off it goes to the boundary.
11:04Pass the diving fielder.
11:06Nicely stroked away.
11:07Wow.
11:08This is absolutely top class batting.
11:13Lovely shot.
11:15A chip shot.
11:16And it's gone all the way.
11:18He's gone into the 90s.
11:20Matur Nisanka.
11:21Back up.
11:24You see.
11:25The Tajul trying.
11:26That different angle.
11:27As mentioning.
11:28Got while earlier.
11:29Eventually into position.
11:30And what a super strike.
11:32Wow.
11:33Really got hold of that.
11:34All the way for the maximum.
11:38Super round.
11:39Got all of that.
11:41And it's gone racing away.
11:42No chance for Amushi there.
11:44Short.
11:45Asking to be punished.
11:46And he got it.
11:49He's bending his back.
11:50He's trying to.
11:51Get that ball.
11:52To go through.
11:53At the moment.
11:54He's bowling with the wind.
11:55Behind him.
11:56But Patum Nisanka.
11:58Wow.
12:02Triple round.
12:03Gets to his 100.
12:05With that single.
12:06It has been.
12:07A fantastic knock.
12:08Just the third.
12:09100 for Patum Nisanka.
12:11Has come at a good time.
12:12For his team.
12:14Certainly has.
12:15It's a wonderful knock.
12:24All action.
12:25Patum Nisanka.
12:29Again.
12:30The pace.
12:31But this time it's four.
12:32Extra bit of pace.
12:33Patum Nisanka.
12:34Beaten a bit of the pitch.
12:39Again.
12:40That is a classical shot.
12:43A cover drive.
12:44At its best.
12:49Brilliant indeed.
12:50Everything in place.
12:51Head.
12:53The elbow.
12:54The bat.
12:55The 33rd half century.
12:56For Dinesh Chandimal.
12:57It's fifth.
12:58Versus.
12:59Bangladesh.
13:00And don't forget.
13:01He's got five hundreds.
13:02Two against Bangladesh.
13:03And that's what he's achieved in his career.
13:04What a servant he's been of Sri Lanka cricket.
13:05Congratulations to him.
13:06Beautifully played.
13:07And the fielder at sweeper cover has absolutely no chance.
13:12Pure timing.
13:13Good placement.
13:14Oh.
13:15Outside age.
13:16Big department.
13:17Is it.
13:18Taken.
13:19Down the left side.
13:20Chandimal can believe it.
13:21Alex for possibly will go upstairs.
13:22The rather soft dismissal if it's out.
13:23Out.
13:24Oh.
13:25Yeah.
13:26Yeah.
13:27Yeah.
13:28Yeah.
13:29Yeah.
13:30Yeah.
13:31Yeah.
13:32Yeah.
13:33Yeah.
13:34Yeah.
13:35Yeah.
13:36Yeah.
13:37Yeah.
13:38You could be able to go in here.
13:39Chandi Mal can believe it. Alex Voh possibly will go upstairs. The rather soft dismissal if it's out.
13:54Yeah, I have the fingers under the ball. Fingers under the ball. I'm ready to make my decision for the screen.
14:00As Chandi Mal takes that long walk back. Out for 54 but not before that big stand of 157. Sri Lanka 204 for 2.
14:13119 games. Average of almost 45. Best of 200. 1600 for Sri Lanka.
14:21All of a sudden the round field as the voice is also up after that wicket of Chandi Mal.
14:29Trying to get it fine, but no first slip.
14:48Opportunity.
14:53Good hit. Toss that off. Matthews just bounces on it.
14:57That will calm his nerves.
15:02This time around it was fuller and paced on the middle stump.
15:07Easy pickings for Angelo Matthews.
15:10Burst boundary for him.
15:15Oh, hit well.
15:16No one in the deep. It runs away. It's gone all the way.
15:19In fact, the wind carries it.
15:22The naked eye, I did think it hit it on the full.
15:28Now if it's hit on the full, yes, that's the decision that's been made.
15:32Well, last ball before tee.
15:38That will be tee on the third day here in goal.
15:41Sri Lanka 233 for 2.
15:44Alex Forth knocks the bales off and the players will wander off.
15:49262 behind.
15:54495 Bangladesh 233 for 2.
15:57Sri Lanka at tee here.
16:02Raju Islam to Angelo Matthews after tee.
16:04And the matters is, uh, got a positive frame of mind straight away.
16:15There's a hit that has reached the boundary now.
16:21Wow.
16:22Silver round got a hold of that.
16:24It's, uh, racing away to the boundary.
16:27Middle of the bat actually creamed it in front of square.
16:30Wasn't that short by Nahid Rana?
16:31Down the wicket.
16:37Uh, no one's going to even move with that, uh, extraordinary shot.
16:47Hopps for the offside corridor.
16:50Allows the batter to really pick his spot.
16:54Oh, dear.
16:54Desperate, despairing dive does not save the boundary.
16:58Yeah, beautifully played by Patum Nish Sanka.
17:03Naima Sani has only four fielders in the offside.
17:05One in the slips.
17:07And the last thing Nahid Rana wanted was to sprint across 30 meters.
17:11After bowling three overs in this belt.
17:14Through the offside, poor delivery and Mushika Rahim will give chase.
17:22Will it win it?
17:23Yeah, certainly it does.
17:25But Patum Nish Sanka will try to go for the third.
17:27He does.
17:28And brings up his 150.
17:30The first time in his test carrier, Patum Nish Sanka has brought up 150.
17:35The strong word to reach it, but three runs nevertheless takes him to his 150.
17:41Well played, Patum Nish Sanka.
17:44And still more to come, I suspect.
17:49Flower delivery, that slap, that's four.
17:53The runs continue to flow.
17:55Patum Nish Sanka and Sri Lanka.
17:57Patum Nish Sanka.
18:01Four more.
18:08Matthews gets it through.
18:10That's flying away.
18:12This will be four.
18:19Oh, beauty.
18:20That's a beauty.
18:21He's got him.
18:27an extra bounce for the left armor on that occasion clear neck and sigh of
18:35relief he walks out in his last test match maybe he'll have another innings
18:40but for now 39 is what he's made Sri Lanka at 293 for three coming to mendes
18:50the future of Sri Lanka cricket now this will run away to the boundary and the
18:59follow-on gets avoided by Sri Lanka that's how we do mendes pull toss in the
19:09gap that should run away to the boundary that was friendly short delivery swung
19:16away on the leg side that's for gas beyond the dive is played on with the
19:27line of the ball and it's going to reach the fence it always remaining new ball
19:33has been brought in yeah there we go oh he's done it yokton got the wicket this is
19:44superb from Hasan Mahmud and it's the big wicket of Nisanka and the new ball
19:50strikes straight through him caught on the crease was Patum Nisanka a tiring Patum
19:59Nisanka Patum Nisanka goes but he's batted brilliantly well for this 187 Sri Lanka
20:06331 44 64 matches for the ninja de Silva 1950s 1200 mm bit of yes and no on that
20:20occasion coming to mendes is always going to put the full face of the back now could
20:28have done better with that racing away to the boundary running in pulling fast but
20:36this is driven length delivery the newer ball no real problem for that on Jedi
20:44still by the 350s up shot brilliant that's nicely done last ball of the day he survived Sri Lanka
21:06survived and they're going to stumps on a very healthy 368 for four which means they trail by a
21:13hundred and twenty seven runs though Sri Lanka going to stumps on 368 for four and
21:19that's the state of the game Sri Lanka trail Bangladesh by a hundred and twenty seven
21:24runs of the Bangladesh with this mix for 495 Patum Nisanka magnificent 187
