From early wobbles to the inflictless partnership between Nazimur Hossein Shant and Mushfikl Rahim
The Bangladeshi inning began with a careful note, using Sri Lankan bowlers to use new balls and initial support on the surface. Please send me Fernando Attacked first and deleted Anamur Hak For the duck. But the real threat came from debutant spinners Tharindu Rathnayakewho insisted on two quick wickets –Shadman Islam 14 and Mominulul Haque For the 29-year-old – Both were caught by the captain with a slip Dhananjaya de Silva. By the 17th, Bangladesh shook 45 at 3, and the hosts felt an opportunity to determine the conditions.
However, it was during this period that Shant and Rahim gathered together to calm down under pressure. They stabilized the ship with a measured approach, slowing the attacks in Sri Lanka, gradually changing momentum. Their partnership was built on patience, accurate shot choices and the ability to punish loose delivery. By lunch, Bangladesh has reached 90 at 3, Shant and Rahim are undefeated, increasingly relieved.

Duo Shift Gear was seen in the after lunch session. Shanto (136*) took the example to reach his century with a blend of classic drives and clever sweeps, lifting his sixth test 100 times and his second with Sri Lanka. His innings were a masterclass in concentration, followed by 246 balls, featuring 14 boundaries and six boundaries. A reliable stubborn man, Rahim complemented with a knock that composed the captain, reaching an unbeaten 105 ball woven at five boundaries.
Their partnership, which was not broken by the stump, bulged into over 230 runs for the fourth wicket. This is a record stand that not only rescued Bangladesh from its unstable position, but also placed it firmly in the driver’s seat. Despite early promises, the Sri Lankan bowlers struggled with breakthroughs as the pitch eased and batters grew with confidence. Ratnayake finished the day with two wickets, but his first hero was overshadowed by a relentless accumulation from Shant and Rahim.
By the end of play, Bangladesh’s scoreboard read 292/3 in 90 overs, with a healthy run rate of 3.24. In the final session, the pair continued without causing trouble, negotiating a second new ball easily and setting up Bangladesh for a potential mammoth total.
