Bangladesh have begun well with the bat on a wicket which for now, is not providing a lot of assistance for the bowlers but there is still a long way to go. The hosts still trail by another 321 runs and they would hope the two, who have got their eye in can keep batting for as long as possible. Sri Lanka on the other hand will like their bowlers to be a little more disciplined and probably land more balls in the right areas which they did not do in this last session. Will there be more assistance for them on Day 3? We will find out. Do join us for all the action as Day 3 is set
