Sri Lanka eye 300

Sri Lanka were looking forward to score around 300 runs to put pressure on the home team even after being reduced to 172 for six on the first day of the first Test at Mirpur yesterday.
"Anything around 300 to 350 would be a competitive score. We have a good bowling lineup with Murali (Muttiah Muralidaran) and Rangana (Hearth), not to forget about the fast bowler like Vaas (Chaminda). As the game goes on, I think they will be factors," said Sri Lankan opener Michael Vandort.
"I think it's evenly poised, 172-6 is not a position we wanted to be in. Guys yet to bat will have jobs in their hands and hopefully take the score to 300," he added.
