SL Vs BAN 1st Test Day 2 FREE Live Streaming Details: When And Where To Watch Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Test Match Live Telecast On TV, Mobile APPs Online
WTC 2025-27: Bangladesh stamped their authority on the opening day of the Galle Test against Sri Lanka, riding on a majestic unbeaten partnership between Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim. The duo put together a commanding 247-run stand, steering Bangladesh to a dominant 292 for 3 at stumps after a shaky start to the day.
Sri Lanka enjoyed early success in the first hour, taking three quick wickets and reducing the visitors to under 50 runs. The conditions in Galle, traditionally favourable to spin and challenging for batters, offered a rare edge to those with the willow on this occasion. Bangladesh, having won the toss and elected to bat, looked to make the most of the placid surface. However, early nerves set in when three top-order wickets fell cheaply.
But Shanto, who had barely faced a few balls when Mushfiqur joined him at the crease, quickly settled in. On just his sixth delivery, he announced his intent with an authoritative shot down the ground off debutant Tharindu Rathnayake, instantly shifting the momentum. From there on, it was a masterclass in composure and partnership-building.
Shanto finished the day unbeaten on 136, while Mushfiqur, the senior pro, provided rock-solid support with 105 not out. Their calculated aggression and sharp running between the wickets frustrated the Sri Lankan attack, which looked increasingly toothless as the day wore on.
As day one concluded, Bangladesh found themselves firmly in control. With a solid foundation already laid and plenty of batting to come, the visitors will look to build on this momentum and pile pressure on the hosts on day two. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will need early breakthroughs on the second morning if they are to claw their way back into the contest.

Temba Bavuma ruled out of Zimbabwe Tests as South Africa name 1st time captain
South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the two-Test series against Zimbabwe due to the hamstring strain he suffered during the World Test Championship win against Australia. In Bavuma's absence, Keshav Maharaj will assume the role of captain for the Proteas in the series against Zimbabwe, which will begin on June 28 and go on until July 10. advertisementBavuma sustained the injury during Day 3 of the WTC Final while he was batting during the run-chase against the Aussies. The South African skipper battled through the pain and put on a 147-run stand with Aiden Markram which helped South Africa end their ICC trophy jinx. Bavuma scored 66 in the second innings. South Africa cricket made the announcement on their official X account and said that Bavuma will undergo further tests to know the extent of the injury. "Proteas Men's Test captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series against Zimbabwe due to a left hamstring strain. Bavuma sustained the injury while batting during South Africa's second innings on day three of the ICC World Test Championship Final against Australia at Lord's Cricket Ground. He is set to undergo further scans to assess the extent of the injury. Keshav Maharaj will captain the side in his absence," read the statement from South Africa cricket. advertisementSouth Africa haven't named a replacement for Bavuma in the squad that contains five uncapped players including Dewald Brevis and Lhuan-dre Pretorius. This will be the first time Maharaj will be leading South Africa in Tests, after having captained them in both ODIs and T20Is. Zimbabwe v South Africa Tests: Full squadsZimbabwe: Craig Ervine (c), Brian Bennett, Tanaka Chivanga, Trevor Gwandu, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Wessly Madhevere, Clive Madande, Vincent Masekesa, Wellington Masakadza, Prince Masvaure, Kundai Matigimu, Blessing Muzarabani, Newman Nyamhuri, Tafadzwa Tsiga, Nicholas Welch, Sean Africa: Keshav Maharaj (c), David Bedingham, Matthew Breetzke, Dewald Brevis, Tony de Zorzi, Zubayr Hamza, Lesego Senokwane, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Kyle Verreynne, Corbin Bosch, Wiaan Mulder, Prenelan Subrayen, Kwena Maphaka, Lungi Ngidi, Codi Watch

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma ruled out of Zimbabwe Test series with hamstring injury sustained at WTC final
After guiding South Africa to a historic World Test Championship win last week against Australia with a strained hamstring, captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the Proteas two-Test series against Zimbabwe, set to start on June 28. 'Proteas Men's Test captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series against Zimbabwe due to a left hamstring strain. Bavuma sustained the injury while batting during South Africa's second innings on day three of the ICC World Test Championship Final against Australia at Lord's Cricket Ground. He is set to undergo further scans to assess the extent of the injury. Keshav Maharaj will captain the side in his absence,' the South Africa cricket team's X account posted. Bavuma was injured in the second innings of South Africa's five-wicket victory, soldiering on as he scored a crucial 66 in a match-winning third wicket stand of 147 with centurion Aiden Markram. Keshav Maharaj will captain the side in Bavuma's absence, with no replacement named in the squad for the latter. 'As much as the Aussies were saying we were chokers in the field, we never made it our thing. We just said we've got to keep going and be relentless, and the harder we knock, the doors will open. Chokers was not our tag to carry, we never spoke about it, although you always feel a responsibility when you wear the badge,' Bavuma had said earlier this week at the Cricket South Africa headquarters, where his side were given an official welcome. The win over Australia gave South Africa their first major trophy since 1998, when they won the ICC KnockOut Trophy (later rebranded as ICC Championship Trophy). The Proteas received a grand welcome after returning home on Wednesday. Bavuma's men were greeted by several thousand supporters when they landed in Johannesburg following a five-wicket win over Australia in the final at Lord's last week. The first test vs Zimbabwe will be played from June 28-July 2 at the Queens Sports Club, with the second also in Bulawayo from July 6-10.

R Ashwin's Wife Posts Cryptic Message Ahead Of 1st India vs England Test
Former Indian cricket team spinner R Ashwin's wife Prithi Narayanan posted a cryptic message on social media ahead of Day 1 of the first Test encounter against England on Friday. This was the first time that India was playing a Test series without the illustrious trio of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ashwin. While Ashwin retired mid-way into the Test series against Australia, both Kohli and Rohit announced their retirement ahead of the five-match Test series against England. As a result, it was a somewhat new-look India side that took the pitch against England with Sai Sudharsan becoming the latest debutant. Prithi took to social media to post a message that echoed the emotion felt by many cricket fans as she wrote on her Instagram story - "Test match day for India, and I woke up with many mixed feelings. Have to find a different way to love it and unlearn the only way I knew to". India have handed B Sai Sudharsan his Test debut as England won the toss and elected to bowl in the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Headingley on Friday. The five-match series also marks the start of a new World Test Championship cycle for both India and England. Sudharsan, who represents Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket, has played in the County Championship for Surrey, and will make his Test debut on June 20, a day where Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly (both 1996) and Virat Kohli (2011) made their entry into the longer format for India. He becomes India's 317th men's Test cricketer and will bat at number three in Leeds. Sudharsan got his cap from Cheteshwar Pujara, who is in England as a commentator for the series. Karun Nair will bat at number six, and marks a stupendous return to the Test team for the first time after March 2017. Shardul Thakur is set to bat at number eight, in the seam-bowling all-rounder's slot, after getting the nod over Nitish Kumar Reddy. Prasidh Krishna joins Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj in the fast-bowling attack and Ravindra Jadeja being the sole specialist spin-bowling all-rounder means there's no space for Kuldeep Yadav. The match in Leeds also marks Shubman Gill's debut as India's Test captain. "We'd have bowled first as well. It has been a dry summer, so although there might be a little bit in it in the first session, it's going to be a really good batting wicket after that.' "The sun is out; it looks like it's going to be a good batting day for us. Preparation has been amazing. All the boys are feeling in a really good space mentally and physically," he said. England skipper Ben Stokes said the preparation for a crucial series against India has been mixed but they are now 'raring to go'. "Headingley is generally a very good cricket wicket, we've had some great games here over the years and hopefully we can use the early conditions and get a bit out of it." "We're all excited, we're all ready to go. The preparation has been mixed, to be honest. We've had some lads playing county cricket, but we've had a really good three days building up to this Test match and everyone is raring to go," he added. Playing XIs India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (vice-captain and wicket-keeper), Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna
