Bangladesh went to lunch empty-handed after missing two catches

After the defeat in the Sylhet Test, the Bangladesh team is preparing to stand firm in Chittagong. However, losing the toss, Shakib and Khaled have to bowl first. The Tigers did not find any success in the first session. However, Hassan Mahmud enjoyed the celebration of his third career wicket, while Mahmudul Joy lost his wicket to slip. After playing 27 overs, Sri Lanka went to lunch with 88 runs on the scoreboard.

Nishan Madushka remains unbeaten on 55 runs, while the other opener, Dimuth Karunaratne, scored 33 runs. Two missed catches and a run-out chance left Bangladesh empty-handed at the end of the first session of the Test match.

Shakib Al Hasan returned to play Test cricket after more than a year. With this match against Sri Lanka, he returns to international cricket. The return of Shakib brings the Test cap for Hasan Mahmud, who took over the pace bowling duties from the injured Mahedi. Although right-arm pacer Hasan Mahmud has represented Bangladesh in white-ball cricket, he makes his debut in red-ball cricket for the country today.

With a victory by 328 runs in Sylhet, Sri Lanka leads the series as the visiting team. There is no option for the Tigers to win the match in the last match to equalize in the 2023-25 ICC World Test Championship. Winning the toss, the Sri Lankan batsmen made a terrific start at Chittagong's batting paradise. Mahmudul Hasan failed to take a slip catch once again.

At the start of the day, Kamyndu Mendis got his life on a golden duck in the first innings. Even on that day, Kamyndu missed catching in slips. Having found life so easily at the start, Kamyndu makes a mistake easily, helping Jay to celebrate his first century of his career.

Even today, another important catch slips away when opener Nishan Madushka is caught. Despite Abhishek playing his debut Test, Hasan Mahmud made a brilliant start, taking wickets. Then Madushka continues to increase the innings without making any mistakes. Shakib Al Hasan, along the boundary line at the end of the 22nd over, overstepped in frustration. Even the opening pair of Sri Lanka did not break at 70 runs for the team."
