Sri Lanka start strong after Rahim's 175*

Sri Lanka openers struck half-centuries to help the visitors end the second day on 143 for 2 against Bangladesh in Dhaka. While Oshada Fernando fell for 57, Dimuth Karunaratne stayed unbeaten on 70 with Sri Lanka still trailing by 222 after restricting Bangladesh to 365.

The day, however, belonged to Mushfiqur Rahim, who struck an unbeaten 175, and Kasun Rajitha, who bagged his maiden five-wicket haul. Bangladesh had staged a remarkable recovery in the opening day when they went from being 24 for 5 to ending the day on 277 for 5. Head coach Chris Silverwood
