    The second Test between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is nicely poised at stumps on Day 2. Resuming the day on 277/5, Bangladesh were folded for 365 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim went on to remain unbeaten on 175*. Kasun Rajitha and Asith Fernando were terrific, finishing the job for Lanka. With the bat, Sri Lanka are 143/2, with skipper Dimuth Karunaratne leading the way.

    How did Day 2 pan out?

    Bangladesh lost two early wickets and were 296/7. Thereafter, Mushfiqur and Taijul Islam shared a 49-run stand. Mushfiqur's unbeaten knock helped Bangladesh end up with a decent score. For SL, Rajitha finished with figures worth 5/64. Fernando ended with 4/93. The Lankan openers added 95 for the first wicket. Oshada Fernando (57) and Kusal Mendis (11) lost their wickets. Karunaratne is unbeaten on 70*.

    3/6

    Mushfiqur offers substance

    Mushfiqur continued from where he left off on Day 1. He is enjoying rich form. After a century in the first Test, the veteran batter responded with 175*. He had come to the crease when the score read 24/4 and from 24/5, he stitched a defiant stand alongside Das. After Das departed quickly today, Mushfiqur took the mantle and got the runs.

    4/6

    Good bowling on display by Rajitha and Fernando

    Rajitha set things in motion once again and was rewarded by getting Litton early on in the morning. A length ball outside off saw him get Litton chase at it, offering a catch in the process. Three balls later, he got Mosaddek Hossain with the second new ball. After a crucial stand, Fernando took two scalps, bowling bouncers to the tail-enders.

    5/6

    1,300 runs for Rahim versus Lanka

    Mushfiqur registered his ninth Test century on Monday and a third versus Sri Lanka. He is now the second batter after Kumar Sangakkara in Bangladesh versus Sri Lanka Test matches to amass 1,300-plus runs (1,323). He now has five 150-plus scores.

    6/6

    Lanka start well after Bangladesh's 365/10

    Sri Lanka started on a note of promise and character. Karunaratne (70*) hit seven fours and enjoyed a strike rate of 55.12. Oshada hit eight fours and a six in his 91-ball 57. After his dismissal, Bangladesh also got the wicket of Mendis. Shakib Al Hasan got him trapped LBW. Bangladesh need early wickets on Day 3 now. For Lanka, Karunaratne holds the key.
