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

Lakshan Sandakan took two in two balls in the final few moments of Day 2

#1 Soumya Sarkar departs after a start yet again

Soumya Sarkar has been getting starts but hasn't converted them to hundreds

Soumya Sarkar had publicly revealed that he was upset with his "soft dismissal" after the first innings of the first Test. However, he continued to mess up his starts even after that innings where he made 71.

In the second innings of that Test he made yet another half-century without converting it to a hundred and fell for 53. Here in Colombo, Sarkar had eased himself to a half-century along with Tamim Iqbal but looked bamboozled against Lakshan Sandakan.

The wily chinaman bowler mixed up his leg spinners with the googly and had Sarkar in all sorts of problems. The southpaw eventually missed a googly and was cleaned up by Sandakan for 61.

The Chinaman's googly went on to fetch two more wickets, that of Imrul Kayes and nightwatchman, Taijul Islam, of back to back deliveries shortly before the close of play.
