Associated Press  

SYLHET, Bangladesh — Opener Dimuth Karunaratne’s half-century helped Sri Lanka tighten its grip on the series opening test against Bangladesh on Saturday. It’s not easy to score runs,” Sri Lanka pace bowling coach Dharshana Gamage said. Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana, who had first innings figures of 3-87, dealt a double strike to leave Sri Lanka at 32-2. Fernando earlier wrecked Bangladesh with brilliant pace bowling to help Sri Lanka earn a healthy lead.
