CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh: A top-order batting blitz took Sri Lanka to 314-4 and left the tourists firmly in command on the opening day of the second and final Test against Bangladesh on Saturday.
Kusal Mendis top-scored with 93 in Chittagong, while openers Dimuth Karunaratne (86) and Nishan Madushka (57) also helped power the innings.
“Of course we are happy,” Karunaratne said.
That’s a good score for day one. If we can put on a good total next day, we are in a commanding position,” he added.
