Bangladesh piled up a mammoth 484 for nine on a rain-curtailed day 2 of the first Test in Galle against Sri Lanka

Mushfiqur Rahim posted a masterful 163 Wednesday as Bangladesh piled up 484 for nine on a rain-curtailed Day 2 of the first cricket test against Sri Lanka.

A spirited late fightback by Sri Lanka’s pacers halted Bangladesh’s charge on a rain-interrupted second day of the first Test at the Galle International Stadium on Wednesday. From a position of dominance at tea, the visitors slipped to 484/9 by stumps, losing five wickets for just 61 runs after a two-hour rain delay breathed life into the surface.
