SL vs BAN: Shanto, Shadman heroics help Bangladesh stretch lead in 1st Test
After a day that saw both teams going at it blow for blow, Bangladesh claimed a 187-run lead on Friday, June 20 with Najimul Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim at the crease. Bangladesh were able to bundle out Sri Lanka for 485 and take a 10-run lead before the visitors ended the day on 177 for the loss of three wickets. advertisementSri Lanka had started the day in a comfortable spot despite the dismissal of Pathum Nissanka on 187. Kamindu Mendis and captain Dhananjaya de Silva stitched together a fine partnership but wickets started to fall for the hosts, with two in the first hour and three during the 45 minutes after lunch. Nayeem Hasan was the chief destroyer with the ball as he got the key wickets of De Silva first and then the well-set Mendis for 87 after the Sri Lankan star looked destined for another hundred. Rathnayake was rebuilding the innings with a fine knock of 39 from 83 balls, before he was sent back to the pavilion by Hasan Mahmud. This opened the door for Bangladesh as Nayeem quickly dismissed Tahrindu Ratnayake and Asitha Fernando in quick succession to end the Sri Lankan innings and pick up his 5th career five-wicket haul. Mahmud got three wickets as well. advertisementBangladesh lost Anamul Haque early on in their second innings, but Shadman Islam looked to be in fine knick. While he lost Mominul Haque, the opener scored 76 off 126 runs and added a 68-run stand with captain Shanto. Ratnayake ended Islam's stay at the crease as he trapped him in front of the stumps. After the fall of the opener, it was Shanto's time to continue his fine form and brought up a fifty with some elegant shots. He remained unbeaten on 56 and had Rahim for company as the match heads into Day 5, with many expecting the game to end in a draw. Must Watch

SL vs BAN: Pathum Nissanka's 187 puts Sri Lanka in strong reply against Bangladesh
A career-best 187 by the stylish Pathum Nissanka led Sri Lanka to 368-4 in its first innings on the third day of the opening Test against Bangladesh on Thursday. That left the home team 127 runs adrift of Bangladesh, which had piled up a total of 495 all a featherbed surface, Nissanka produced an innings of sublime timing and poise, the sort that makes connoisseurs purr and opponents wince. Nissanka, whose two previous Test hundreds had come overseas, finally notched his maiden century on home vs BAN , 1st Test Day 3: Highlights A double hundred looked not just probable, but inevitable. Alas, as it so often does in cricket, the second new ball brought about his downfall. A touch too eager to assert, Nissanka offered a drive too early, left a gap between bat and pad, and was clean bowled by Hasan Mahmud.'I was disappointed with the way I got out,' Nissanka said. "I knew I had to see off the new ball. I thought the shot was on, but it was a good piece of bowling as well."We have been conscious about the run rate. We knew we were not scoring too quickly in the last cycle of the World Test Championship. That is one of the things we wanted to address. I hope we have done that sufficiently in this Test match and we look to keep doing that moving forward.'advertisementDebutant Lahiru Udara, also looking assured during a brisk 29 off 34 balls, peppered the boundary with six well-timed fours before offering a return catch to Taijul Islam off a leading Chandimal then stitched together a 157-run stand for the second wicket with Nissanka, his 54 oozing class until a faint tickle down the leg side off Nayeem Hasan ended his 38-year-old Angelo Mathews, in his final Test appearance, appeared in decent touch during a fluent 39 before falling to Mominul Haque, the part-time spinner luring an edge to wicketkeeper Litton Das.'It was an honour to bat with Angelo,' Nissanka said. 'He is an amazing guy. He has done a lot for the game and has helped me out too.'Captain Dhananjaya de Silva (17 not out) and the versatile Kamindu Mendis (37 not out) then took Sri Lanka to the close of play with an unbroken 37-run partnership. With more batting depth to come and time on its side – should the weather hold – Sri Lanka will fancy its chances of claiming a first-innings Sri Lanka wrapped up the Bangladesh innings inside 15 minutes. Asitha Fernando took 4-86 while Milan Rathnayake and Tharindu Rathnayake picked up three wickets fast-bowling coach Shaun Tait said: "Sri Lanka are a team that was competing for the WTC final six months ago. I think they batted really well. The pace bowlers missed a trick with the new ball. It would have been nice if they had taken a couple of wickets with the new ball.'I think we would have taken our score at the start of the game. We got a good score. We can't ask much more than that from Bangladesh.'

Guard of honour in Galle: Bangladesh salute Angelo Mathews in his final Test for Sri Lanka
Angelo Mathews of Sri Lanka (Photo by) Angelo Mathews walked off the field at Galle on Tuesday, possibly for the last time in Test cricket. He made 39 in the first innings, and as he made his way back to the pavilion, the Bangladesh players lined up to give him a guard of honour — a simple gesture of respect for someone who has been around for nearly two decades. — FanCode (@FanCode) It was Mathews' 119th Test, and it brings the curtain down on a long and steady career in the format. Over 17 years, he became one of Sri Lanka's most reliable players — with the bat, with the ball when needed, and also as a calm voice in the dressing room. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! His tally of 8,206 runs and 16 centuries doesn't tell the full story. He played through Sri Lanka's transition period, carrying extra responsibility after the retirements of bigger names. He kept going quietly, game after game. Nick Knight EXCLUSIVE: On Shubman Gill and absence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma in England Earlier this week, Mathews had confirmed on social media that this would be his last Test. 'I have given everything to cricket and cricket has given me everything in return,' he wrote, adding that he would still be available for white-ball formats if the team needs him. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? The match in Galle isn't just about runs or wickets. It's about a player signing off from a format he gave so much to. Mathews' teammates, the crowd, and even his opponents seemed to sense that. The applause wasn't loud, but it felt genuine. There were no grand speeches, no waving flags — just a quiet nod to a player who gave Sri Lankan cricket his best years. It was a fitting farewell. Nothing dramatic, just respectful much like the man himself. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here
