Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh: Praveen Jayawickrama shines on debut with six-for, hosts in driver’s seat on Day 3 of 2nd Test

Firstpost  

The 22-year-old’s six for 92 bettered Upul Chandana’s record of six for 179 in 1999 when he won his first cap against Pakistan in Dhaka. Pallekele: Left-arm spinner Praveen Jayawickrama took six wickets on debut to dismiss Bangladesh for 251 and give Sri Lanka a commanding lead Saturday on Day 3 of the second Test. Glad it all worked today, but we have more work to do over the next two days,” he said, adding that Tamim’s wicket was the one he really wanted. Sri Lanka, who declared earlier in the day on 493 for seven, did not enforce the follow-on and were 17 for two at stumps with two days’ play remaining and a 259-run lead. “There’s still a lot of cricket to be played here.” Sri Lanka risk falling to their lowest world rankings position if they fail to beat Bangladesh in this second and final Test.
