9:30 AM IST: Steady Start From BAN 

Bangladesh have made a steady start to their Day 2 proceedings. The second new ball is not very old and both Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das need to be alert. BAN 281/5 (87) 

9 AM IST: Horror Start

Bangladesh made a horror start after winning the toss. They lost their top five batsmen (24 for 5) inside the first hour and were looking at the prospect of crashing below their lowest-ever Test score (53 all out against South Africa at Kingsmead, Durban in April 2022) till Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das started the rescue act.

9:05 AM IST: Old Is Gold

During their marathon innings, Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim also broke the record for the highest sixth-wicket partnership in Test cricket. Incidentally, Mushfiqur was involved in the previous record partnership (191) with Mohammad Ashraful, which also came against Sri Lanka in 2007.
No spin

Pacers Kasun Rajitha (3/43) and Asitha Fernando (2/80) used the new ball to good effect but Lanka's spinners were largely ineffective on Monday. The visitors are playing three specialist spinners and left-arm orthodox Praveen Jayawickrama had the longest spell of 29 overs but made little impression.
