Galle test: Taijul strikes fast

Taijul Islam made a quick breakthrough as he picked up the wicket of opener Lahiru Udara on day three of the first test against Sri Lanka at Galle International Cricket Stadium. 

Earlier, Bangladesh batters managed to gather a whopping 495 runs. Up next, pacers must take up the responsibility to bring Bangladesh a victory. 

After losing three wickets in quick succession on day one, the Bangladesh batting unit held the fort and brought the score almost to 500 before being all out. 

Sri Lankan pacer Fernando took up four wickets, while Milan Rathnayeke and Tharindu Rathnayeke each picked up three wickets.
