Sri Lanka bowl out Bangladesh for 232 on first day

Comfortable start here for Sri Lanka after bowling out Bangladesh for 232. Seemed like a good toss to win for Angelo Mathews. He was also helped by some poor shot selection. The Test layoff may have hurt the hosts to some extent. The conditions for batting are expected to get better so it's important that the bowlers don't let the Sri Lankans run away with it tomorrow. Was an unusual decision by Bangladesh to play three seamers and drop Mahmudullah.

That one decision was baffling,hope it doesn't backfire.It was an unusual one by Bangladesh to play three seamers and drop Mahmudullah. Rahim and Al Hasan staved off a collapse with a well deserved half century.

Was a good toss to Win and Bowl !

Just a small query,does that mean Bangladesh..(Had they won the toss),they too could have bowled Sri Lanka for a paltry score.? They have the arsenal,but could they have..??

I think so . SL top order is inna funk  !

Late order spearheaded by Angelo is doing all the work...
