BD U-19s in command
The Bangladesh under-19 team took a commanding position in the second unofficial youth Test against their Sri Lankan counterparts, who led by 17 runs with five wickets in hand by the end of the third day, at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna yesterday.
Bangladesh resumed the third day on 321 for eight before being bundled out on 354 with Mehran Hasan remaining not out on 33.
In reply, Sri Lanka lost wickets at regular intervals, courtesy of medium pacer Mahedi Hasan, who picked up three wickets, and eventually ended the day on 187 for five. Sonal Dinusha top scored for the visitors with 55 runs.
Bangladesh will look to bundle out Sri Lanka quickly when they resume play on the fourth day in hopes of sealing the two-match series as the first match ended in a draw.
