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.

Shanto, Mushfiqur tons headline Bangladesh's day of dominance
Agencies The first hour or so of play on the opening day of the Galle Test belonged to Sri Lanka on Tuesday. But after that, it was all Bangladesh, as Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim struck centuries during an unbroken stand of 247, to seize control of day one, reports By stumps, Shanto was unbeaten on 136 and had Mushfiqur right behind him on 105 not out. Seamer Milan Rathnayake was the most economical of the Sri Lanka bowlers, his 12 overs going for just 19 runs, but the bulk of the overs were bowled by the spin pair of Prabath Jayasuriya and debutant Tharindu Rathnayake. The wickets were split between Asitha Fernando and debutant Tharindu, but once Shanto and Mushfiqur were set, Sri Lanka rarely caused them trouble. Winning the toss and opting to bat is usually the obvious call in Galle, but this time in particular, with conditions more favourable than usual for batters, Shanto was rightfully chuffed when the toss fell his way. That smile though, had become closer to a grimace when he stood at the non-striker's end watching a third Bangladeshi batter fall with not even 50 on the board. When Mushfiqur walked out to join him, Shanto himself had faced just three deliveries; it took him only until his sixth though to show that he would not be cowed by the situation, skipping down the track and smoking one back over Tharindu's head. That set the tone, if not outright aggression and displayed resolute confidence. Sri Lanka for most of the morning, would not have imagined proceedings ending up like this. The day had begun with a felicitation and a guard of honour for the retiring Angelo Mathews, and then just 4.3 overs into the day's play, Asitha got one to seam away and catch Anamul Haque's edge. Tharindu then added to the celebratory mood, grabbing two wickets in consecutive deliveries (across two overs), a dream start to his Test career. But then things took a turn with the experience of Shanto and Mushfiqur coming into play. ScorescColor:> Bangladesh 292 for 3 (Shanto 136*, Mushfiqur 105*, Tharindu 2-124) vs Sri Lanka.

SL vs BAN: Record partnership puts Bangladesh in command in first Sri Lanka Test
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and forged a record-breaking fourth-wicket partnership of 247 runs, leading their team to a commanding position of 292-3 on day one of the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After choosing to bat first and facing early trouble at 45-3, the duo's resilient partnership helped Bangladesh recover and establish control. The partnership between Shanto and Mushfiqur set a new record for Bangladesh's highest fourth-wicket stand in Tests against Sri Lanka. Shanto remained unbeaten on 136, while Mushfiqur scored 105 not out at stumps. Mushfiqur, playing his 97th Test match, ended his lean spell of 13 innings without a half-century with a determined century. The 38-year-old veteran survived a dropped catch by debutant Tharindu Rathnayake when on 25 before reaching his 12th Test hundred. "We know that Galle always spins but for some reason when we have played here, we have been lucky to bat when conditions were good," Mushfiqur said after the day's play. The making of Dhruv Jurel: Kargil war hero's son who chose cricket over the Army "This wicket will deteriorate that's for sure. That is why it is important to post a big first innings total and once we do that we can put the opposition under pressure," he added. Shanto achieved his sixth Test century and second against Sri Lanka with a paddle sweep off Prabath Jayasuriya, marking his first hundred since November 2023. Poll What factor will most influence Bangladesh's batting success in the next innings? Pitch conditions Batting order stability Mental resilience Sri Lanka's early success came through right-arm fast bowler Asitha Fernando, who dismissed opener Anamul Haque for zero. Debutant off-spinner Rathnayake then claimed two quick wickets before the Shanto-Mushfiqur partnership took control. "There was a bit of moisture on the wicket early on and we were able to create opportunities but once the wicket dried up it was a very good wicket to bat and the pitch became a bit slow as well," Rathnayake said after play. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "This is not the usual Galle wicket that we get, I feel, it is quite hard and I think it will be good for batting even heading into day four. We need to regroup tomorrow and the ball is quite new and we can make a few breakthroughs in the morning... we need to remain patient and keep our discipline and see what happens." The match marked a significant moment for Sri Lankan cricket as Angelo Mathews played his 119th and final Test match. The 38-year-old veteran will retire with over 8,000 runs, ranking third in Sri Lanka's all-time scoring charts behind Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. "Feeling quite special. Realising that I have played over 100 Tests," Mathews said before the start. "Playing for the country was my dream, it has come true. Extremely proud to have a wonderful journey, thankful for whoever was part of it." Sri Lanka handed Test debuts to both Tharindu Rathnayake and opening batter Lahiru Udara, who earned their caps after impressive domestic performances. This match opens the new two-year World Test Championship cycle, with the second Test scheduled to begin in Colombo on June 25. The day ended with Bangladesh in a strong position at 292-3, with both Shanto and Mushfiqur unbeaten at the crease. Shanto scored 136 not out while Mushfiqur reached 105 not out, setting up their team for a potentially significant first-innings total.

Marathon stand puts Bangladesh in control in Sri Lanka
Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim have stitched together an unbroken 247-run stand to provide Bangladesh a strong platform at 3-293 at the end of the opening day of the first Test against Sri Lanka. Shanto and Mushfiqur came together when Bangladesh were tottering at 3-45 and combined for the highest fourth-wicket partnership for Bangladesh in Tests against Sri Lanka, eclipsing the 180-run alliance between Litton Das and Mominul Haque in 2018. It ruined a strong start for Sri Lanka, as offspinner Tharindu Ratnayake took two early wickets in his Test debut. Captain Shanto led from the front, dispatching anything remotely loose as he brought up his seventh Test century and remained unbeaten on 136. It was innings laced with 14 crisply timed boundaries and a six, showing the full face of the blade more often than not. At the other end, the veteran Mushfiqur finally found his form after going 13 straight innings without a fifty. He had a narrow escape when a miscued pull on 25 was grassed at mid-wicket and the Sri Lankans paid dearly. By stumps, Mushfiqur was unbeaten on 105, having carved out his 12th Test ton with just five boundaries. "I was coming into this game after a lean patch. When you have a long career like me that can happen," Mushfiqur said. "Once I had got a start I tried to cash in and was very happy to end up with a hundred." The toss had gone Bangladesh's way and although the top order failed, the fourth-wicket pair batted through both the post-lunch and post-tea sessions without offering a sniff. Sri Lanka handed out two test caps in the first match of the 2025-2027 World Test Championship cycle — 31-year-old opener Lahiru Udara and Ratnayake, the ambidextrous spinner. "Everyone knew I will be soon turning 30 and that's not the kind of age the selectors look to hand someone his Test debut," Ratnayake said. "I was very happy to get two wickets in the first session but after lunch it was tough work as the wicket had become flat and it was easy for batting."
