Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2017: Second Test, Day 2, 5 talking points

Lakshan Sandakan took two in two balls in the final few moments of Day 2

#4 Chandimal takes Sri Lanka to a winning total

Chandimal played a lone hand to help Lanka to a good total

The Colombo stadium is famous for producing results. In fact, it hasn't seen a drawn Test in the last 14 years. The pitch has everything every kind of bowler dreams of. It swings on days one and two and as the game progresses the pitch takes a lot of turn, aiding the spinners.

On such a pitch batting last is no easy task unless you have the opposition on the mat which Bangladesh managed to do for a part of Day 1. But Dinesh Chandimal played a crucial knock in the company of the tailenders to take Lanka to 338, a handy total on this pitch.

Sri Lanka have some very experienced bowlers and Bangladesh need to at least match their total or better it to remain in the game. Such was the manner in which Chandimal batted that he wore down the visitor's attack after a point of time.
