Hello and welcome to Sportstar's coverage of the first Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

Day 1 Report

 

Bangladesh batsman Najmul Shanto posted his first Test hundred on Wednesday and helped his team reach 302-2 at stumps on the first day of the first Test against Sri Lanka.

 

Shanto finished the day unbeaten at 126 after Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first at Pallekele International Stadium.

Shanto and captain Mominul Haque (64) put on an unbroken 150-run partnership for the third wicket.

He made the most of the reprieve by batting through the day after coming into the match in the third over. During his six-hour knock, Shanto faced 288 deliveries and hit 14 fours and one six.
