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

#2 Bangladesh openers sizzle yet again

Tamim and Soumya Sarkar helped Bangladesh to a fine start yet again

After stands of 118 and 67 in the first Test, Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar once again got the Bangladeshis to a fine start with a 95 run opening partnership.

Tamim was the more entertaining of the duo, driving the fast bowlers down the ground and creaming Perera through the covers twice. Sarkar was happy to play second fiddle while he latched on to some loose ones from Gunaratne.

With a first innings total of 338 from Sri Lanka before them, Bangladesh needed yet another fine stand from the openers and the duo did not disappoint. The 95 run stand ended when skipper, Herath finally called for a review against Tamim who was trapped in front. Ball tracking showed three reds and the opener had to depart at the stroke of tea.
