Good afternoon
Hello and welcome back to Colombo
It is pouring down here in Colombo.
It is monsoon time and it pours when it rains in this part of the
world
The ground-staff are having a tough time to keep the covers in
place, stiff wind blowing across the ground.
We will be back as soon as play resumes.
The latest from P. Saravanamuttu Stadium in Colombo: The good news
is that it has stopped raining.
There is a great deal of water all around, the Super Soppers are at
work, getting rid of all the water deposited on the covers.
The ground-staff are working hard. It will take some time though,
for the moment - it looks like we might have some cricket later in
the day.
There is a stiff breeze blowing across, which would help the drying
process, the super soppers have a great deal of work to do.
Another spell of rain could undo all the good work done so far,
there are some grey clouds hanging around in the distance.
So that is the news we have for you at this moment. We will be back
- hopefully with some good news.

Match State: Stumps - Day 1
Good Morning for the second days play in the Bangladesh v Sri Lanka
test at Colombo
Yesterday we saw Bangladesh tumble from a respectable 107 for 2 to
be winkled out for 161
Shortly before lunch Jayasuriya trapped Sarkar lbw with his first
delivery of the day, ending a 57 run partnership for the third
wicket with Habibul Bashar (24), Bangladesh's most consistent top
order batsman.
Minutes later Bashar was also trapped lbw, this time by
Muralitharan, and the tourists went into lunch on 111 for four
Then torrential rain curtailed play for 102 minutes in the
afternoon, before Sri Lanka's bowlers, mostly Muralitharan started
to assert themselves on the inexperienced tourists, four of who
are playing their first game
A disappointing end to their innings followed as Bangladesh lost
their last five wickets for 13 runs
Muralitharan ended up with 5 for 39 ably supported by the Sri
Lankan pacers
In fading light Sri Lanka openers started off a bit streakily in
the intial overs but Atapattu and Arnold played out 7 overs and
play ended with the hosts nicely poised at 20/0
Today we expect lots of runs for Sri Lanka but the Bangladesh
bowlers will be trying their best to grab some early wickets in
the usual heavy morning atmosphere here
The umpires (Messrs Shepherd and Bucknor) are out there and play
about to start
We hope to have some extra overs today, 105 are scheduled
Talha Jubair on to start
7.1 Talha Jubair to Arnold, two runs, an inside edge to fine leg
7.2 Talha Jubair to Arnold, no run, defends it back off the front foot
7.3 Talha Jubair to Arnold, one run, nicely turned to mid wicket
7.4 Talha Jubair to Atapattu, OUT: Wow! the much needed early break, an
inswinger, went through the bat and pad gap and of course onto
middle stump

Sri Lanka win by an innings and 196 runs.
So as expected Sri Lanka win well within three days of a five day
Test match
Bangladesh have to go a long way to challenge the likes of Sri
Lanka in a Test match. But, then, this is all in the learning
curve as they say.
Apart from a few performances- fifties by Hannan Sarkar and Al
Sahariar, and a fighting knock by skipper Khaled Mashud,
Bangladesh has had no notable performances.
As for Sri Lanka, Aravinda de Silva hit a double hundred,
Jayasuriya helped himself to a century.
Mahela Jayawardene made a duck!
And... as always Muttiah Muralitharan picked up a lot of wickets
5/39 in the first innings and 5/58 in the second.
That is all we have for you from the P.Saravanamuttu Stadium in
Colombo
Thanks for being with us. Cheers!
