DHAKA: Bangladesh are bowling against Sri Lanka in the first innings of the second test at P Sara Oval in Colombo on Wednesday (March 15).

Earlier, Sri Lanka captain Rangana Herath won the toss and invited Bangladesh to bat first in their historic 100th test match.

Tigers needed a tad more than 16 years and four months to play the 100th test, the fastest to touch the milestone while South Africa needed 59 years, the most.

Sri Lanka needed more than 18 years and three months to play 100th test.

Bangladesh are playing with three changes in the team. Imrul Kayes replaces Mominul Haque while Sabbir Rahman replaced Mahmudullah. Mosaddek Hossain also was included in the team due to the rib injury of Liton Das. Mushfiqur Rahim is keeping the wickets.
