SL vs BAN: Praveen Jayawickrama's Six-Wicket Haul Helps Sri Lanka Secure Big Lead
Left-arm spinner Praveen Jayawickrama's dream debut in which he picked six wickets for 92 runs helped Sri Lanka dismiss Bangladesh for 251 in their first innings of the second Test. Jayawickrama's returns, the best innings figures on Test debut for Sri Lanka, helped the home side secure a big lead.
Sri Lanka had earlier extended their first innings total to 493/7 in the morning, before declaring their innings closed. Niroshan Dickwella's quickfire 77 not out helped Sri Lanka approach the 500-run mark. The home side was 17/2 at stumps with an overall lead of 242 runs.
