Sri Lanka U19s ended day two of the 1st Youth Test against Bangladesh in a decent position as they scored 65 runs for the loss of just 1 wicket in the 26 overs they batted after Bangladesh scored 309 runs for their 1st inning.
With Bangladesh on 209/3 overnight, day 2 was delayed due to rain. Play was allowed to commence at 1 pm at the NCC Grounds in Colombo.

With Bangladesh batting for 38.1 overs in the rain-shortened day, Sri Lanka were given 20-odd tricky overs to bat in overcast conditions.
Battling the conditions exceptionally the Lankan openers, Navod Paranavithana and Kamil Mishara, put on an impressive 55-run partnership. The Bangladeshi skipper once again stepped forward as he broke the stubborn-looking partnership with his handy off-spin.
Kamil Mishara was the man to be dismissed for a 58-ball 19 which included 1 boundary and a six. The Sri Lanka U19 skipper Nipun Dananjaya who walked in at 3 remained unbeaten on 5 with Paranavithana seeing through the day unbeaten on 35.
The two left-handers will resume Sri Lanka’s 1st inning tomorrow, the 3rd day of the 4-day Youth Test.
