Sri Lanka's Mendis hospitalised after chest pains

Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis has been hospitalised with chest pains after he left the field minutes before lunch during the opening day of the second Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka.

In the 23rd over, Mendis lay down on the turf in discomfort, before departing alongside Sri Lanka medical staff clutching his chest.

Doctor Manzur Hossain Chowdhury later confirmed Mendis had been taken to hospital for "proper diagnosis and better management".
