Dhaka: Tamim, Mominul went back to the pavilion early in their first innings after Sri Lanka's 222.

Sri Lanka's collapse continued into the afternoon session, but on a surface as treacherous as this, their 205 for 8 is not altogether embarrassing.

Four wickets fell after lunch: Kusal Mendis in the second ball of the session, and Niroshan Dickwella soon after, before Roshen Silva combined with Dilruwan Perera and Akila Dananjaya to reintroduce a measure of respectability to the scoreline.

Dananjaya was out off what turned out to be the final ball of the session, but Roshen remained at the crease, having compiled a careful 45.

It was Abdur Razzak - in his first Test in four years, and having also taken three wickets in the first session - who struck first after lunch. His first ball had been clattered to the legside fence by Mendis.

His second was a beauty, dipping late, pitching on off, and turning just enough to evade the bat, but not enough to miss the off stump. With that, Bangladesh had removed Sri Lanka's most dangerous batsman of the innings, and they were soon about to rid themselves of another potential troublemaker.

In his haste to impose himself on the match, Dickwella ran at Taijul in the next over, only for the ball to keep mischievously low, and clatter into his stumps.
