Bangladesh lost wickets on regular intervals on Day 2 of the first Test against Sri Lanka but were still able to register a first innings score of 513. Starting at 374/4 on Thursday morning, Tigers lost centurion Mominul Haque (176) early, but useful late runs from stand-in skipper Mahmudullah (83*) have propelled them to a massive total.
On Day 1, Mominul hit 175, after the hosts elected to bat at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. The left-hander shared a 236-run third-wicket stand with former captain Mushfiqur Rahim, who fell just short of his fifth Test hundred after scoring 92 off 192 balls, according to a hindustantimes report.
