It looks like Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal’s wait for reaching landmark 5000 Test runs has been extended as the left-hander had to retire hurt after suffering a cramp in the second session of the third day’s play during the Tigers’ first Test against Sri Lanka in Chattogram today.  

Having taken off his helmet, Bangladesh star opener Tamim Iqbal raised his arms in celebration as he reached his 10th Test ton during Bangladesh’s first innings against Sri Lanka on day three of the Chattogram Test at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury today.

Coming off the bench as a concussion substitute, pacer Kasun Rajitha has brought Sri Lanka back into the contest against Bangladesh on the third day of their first Test at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today. 

Bangladesh stalwart Tamim Iqbal brought up his 10th Test ton following Lunch on the third day of their first Test against Sri Lanka at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today. 

Kasun Rajitha has replaced paceman Vishwa Fernando as a concussion sub on day three of the ongoing first Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh at Chattogram today. 

Bangladesh openers Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudul Hasan Joy, barring a few odd chances, have completely dominated proceedings in the opening session of the third day of their first Test against Sri Lanka at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today. 

Bangladesh openers were able to stitch a 100-run stand after over five years in Tests on the third day of their first Test against Sri Lanka at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today. 

Two Bangladesh batters – Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim – are on the verge of reaching the five thousand-run landmark in Test cricket as the Tigers approach the third day of the Chattogram Test against Sri Lanka today.

Five around the bat, one at short mid-off and another at short mid-on. That was the field set for Vishwa Fernando as Shakib Al Hasan came in to bowl his hattrick delivery. He did not quite get the hattrick ball right, and was unable to bag his first career hattrick, as Fernando survived but the damage had been done in the previous two deliveries.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board will hold an Emergency General Meeting (EGM) to approve councillors and create Regional Cricket Associations (RCAs) and thus fulfil a long-standing promise.

After a monumental innings, any batter would like to be on the right side of the history. However, that was not the case for Angelo Mathews as the Sri Lankan all-rounder finds himself on the unwanted side of it following the second day’s play of the first Test in Chattogram yesterday.

“It’s always tough when you are injured but I tried to adapt,” Nayeem Hasan said with a smile that did not altogether conceal his boyish charm during the press conference in Chattogram yesterday.

There has been hardly any purchase for the bowlers so far in Bangladesh’s ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.  

Bangladesh openers Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudul Hasan Joy made sure that the Tigers end the second day of their first Test against Sri Lanka on a positive note as the duo remained unbeaten in their first innings at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today. 

The wily old Shakib Al Hasan’s armoury keeps stretching to include new variations. Having come back from Covid-19 after initially being ruled out of the first Test at Chattogram and taking part in just one practice session, where he did not bowl a single delivery and only focused on his batting, Shakib lifted Bangladesh up in the second session of day two with the ball.

After a monumental innings, any batter would like to be on the right side of the history. However, that was not the case for Angelo Mathews as the Sri Lankan all-rounder finds himself on the unwanted side of it. 

Sri Lanka batter Angelo Mathews fell one run short of his Test career's second double-century as his brilliant nine-and-half hour long anchoring innings ended at 199, becoming the 12th batter in history to get out on the number. 

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan backed up Nayeem Hasan's breakthrough at the stroke of Lunch to grab two quick wickets right after interval, and Tigers were back in hunt on day two of Chattogram Test. 

Sri Lanka were cruising along on the first session of day two of the Chattogram Test with overnight batters Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathews consolidating at ease. However, 22-year-old Nayeem Hasan had other ideas.

Angelo Mathews scored an unbeaten century as Sri Lanka posted 258 for four at the end of the first day of the first Test in Chattogram on Sunday.
