Bangladesh holds a narrow 10-run lead against Sri Lanka in the ongoing Test match, thanks largely to an impressive five-wicket haul by spinner Nayeem Hasan.
Before the lunch break, Sri Lanka looked well-positioned with Kamindu Mendis playing a steady innings, guiding the visitors to 465 runs for the loss of six wickets.
However, the tide turned dramatically after the break as Sri Lanka lost their last four wickets for just 20 runs, getting all out for 485.
Nayeem Hasan was the key architect of this collapse, claiming four of his five wickets after lunch and finishing with his fourth five-wicket haul in Test cricket.
Bangladesh had earlier posted a formidable 495 runs in their first innings, powered by twin centuries.
Kamindu Mendis fell short of his century, dismissed for 87 after being deceived by Nayeem’s turn and bounce. The performance has put Bangladesh in a strong position as the match progresses.
