Spinners Take Centerstage As Sri Lanka Inch Closer To An Innings Victory
Sinhalese Sports Club Ground: Kusal Mendis played a crucial hand with the bat before their spinners, led by Prabath Jayasuriya, left Bangladesh on the brink of an innings defeat as Day Three of the second Test at Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, Colombo, belonged firmly to Sri Lanka.
Mendis’ composed 84 helped the hosts extend their lead to 211, while Bangladesh’s second innings crumbled in the face of relentless spin, closing the day still 96 runs adrift and with just four wickets in hand.
The morning began with Bangladesh sensing an opportunity to claw their way back. Pathum Nissanka, who had anchored Sri Lanka’s innings with a majestic 150, fell early when he chipped Taijul Islam to short cover, departing to a standing ovation.
