Sri Lanka all-out for 280 

Bangladesh bowled Sri Lanka out for 280 runs in the first innings of the first Test at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Debutant Nahid Rana sent two centurions back to the pavilion. He struck twice in his two consecutive overs and took the wickets of Kamindu Mendis, 102, and Dhananjaya de Silva, 102, respectively to take control of the innings.

Earlier on bowling first, Khaled Ahmed and Shoriful Islam came with early strikes and rattled the Lankan top order as Bangladesh picked up five wickets in just 57 runs in the morning session. Rana and Khaled Ahmed picked up three wickets each. 

However, the game was not yet. Dhananjaya and Kamindu stood together before Bangladeshi bowlers and made a 202-run stand in the sixth over to relieve the Lankan side.
