Sri Lanka dominates Bangladesh in cricket Test, posting 531 runs; Bangladesh trails by 476 runs at stumps.
Sri Lanka kept its nose ahead in the second and final cricket Test against Bangladesh by posting a massive 531 on Day 2 Sunday, thanks to six batters getting past half-century marks.
In response, Bangladesh reached 55-1 at stumps, still trailing by 476 runs.
None of the batters were able to reach the three-figure mark but Sri Lanka ensured it didn't lose wickets in succession.
Kamindu Mendis, who scored twin centuries in the first test that Sri Lanka won by a crushing 328 runs, was stranded on 92 as the 10th wicket fell to a run-out dismissal.
Kusal Mendis made a team-high 93 while Dimuth Karunaratne scored 86. Captain Dhananjaya de Silva, who also scored centuries in both innings of the first test, added 70.
Dinesh Chandimal contributed 59 and opener Nishan Madushka made 57.
"Our players, most of them, got out to good balls," Kamindu said.
