Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2017: 2nd Test, 5 talking points

#1 Mustafizur Rahman is well and truly back

Mustafizur's second innings spell was a huge boost for the visitors

The Bangladesh left-arm seamer with his smart off-cutters and slower balls was always a threat in the sub-continent. After his lay-off due to a shoulder surgery, Mustafizur returned to the Bangladesh team and showed little signs of rust as he put in a spectacular display in the second Test.

In the second innings of the Test, with Bangladesh ahead by 129, Mustafizur bowled his heart out and picked up the big scalps of Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal and Dhananjaya de Silva, all three coming in a period of 10 overs from 45 to 55 overs of the Lankan innings.

Mustafizur earned rave praise from men in the commentary box and former cricketers for his sensational spell on Day 4. Karunaratne, the batsman who witnessed it all in the middle said Mustafizur took the game away from them.

Karunaratne said on Day 4 while speaking to ESPNCricinfo, "The angle he was creating was difficult for the batsmen. The wicket was set and maybe that gave us a false sense of security to go for runs instead of seeing off that period."
