HERATH STRIKES EARLY, REMOVES MOMINUL FOR 176

Mominul Haque was out and failed to make double hundred in the third over of the day as Bangladesh resumed their innings on the second day of the first Test against Sri Lanka on Thursday.

Mominul flicked Rangana Herath to Kusal Mendis at forward short leg, adding just one run to his overnight score of 175 runs.

He faced 214 balls for his innings of 176, which included 16 fours and a six.

After that Mosaddek Hossain also out that's the second wicket of the morning that's been gifted to Sri Lanka. This is exactly what they needed. Two wickets in the first hour. It's angled in towards him and grips and turns so doesn't really come on. Mosaddek comes down the track and dares to go over the mid-on fielder and ends up chipping tamely to him .

Now Mehedi Miraz accompanying skipper Mahmudullah at the crease when this report was filed as Bangladesh in on 411 for 6 after resuming the play on 374-4.
