#4 Mehedi Hasan shows his class in the morning session
Bangladesh seemed to be basking in the glory of their 100th Test as young off-spinner, Mehedi Hasan, got rid of Kusal Mendis soon after Mustafizur had sent back Karunaratne.
Mendis, who was the Man of the Match in the first Test for his brilliant 194, was undone by some thoughtful bowling by the Bangladesh spinner. Seeing Mendis step out to meet the ball, Mehedi got the ball to dip in front of him and beat his bat. Mushfiqur Rahim did the rest behind the stumps as Sri Lanka were reduced to 24/2.
Mehedi was the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers in Galle as well, and he is quickly turning into the most reliable spinner in the side. His wily off-break accounted for Upul Tharanga two overs later as the southpaw only managed to edge a well flighted, turning ball to slip.
