3.25pm: Bangladesh were put in to bat in conditions that suited the seamers but they will be disappointed, given the nature of some of their dismissals. Many perished going for their shots. Mushfiqur may have been unlucky, but he looked solid. The SL seamers shared 8 wickets between them so a job well done after winning the toss. Join us shortly for SL's reply.

  • Batting collapses 'alarming', says Mushfiqur

    Mushfiqur Rahim accepted responsibility for his role in Bangladesh's innings-and-248-run defeat to Sri Lanka, saying the missed chances and bad batting were the major reasons for the loss

  • Sri Lanka thrive as a collective

    Many past Sri Lankan victories have been because of one or two great cricketers shining, but this had strong performances from virtually everyone in the side

  • SL inflict crushing innings and 248-run defeat

    Sri Lanka recorded their second biggest ever Test win by an innings, wrapping up the first Test an hour after lunch on the fourth day with Bangladesh still 248 runs short of making the visitors bat again

  • Bangladesh err by picking three quicks

    Bangladesh's decision to go in with an extra quick in place of Abdur Razzak has backfired badly

  • Sri Lanka commit to the grind

    A maiden ton to Kithuruwan Vithanage at almost a-run-a-ball was the most telling personal contribution, as he joined the wave of young players suggesting Sri Lanka's future is more secure than previously imagined
