Wed Jun 25 10:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Sri Lanka vs. Bangladesh Test: Debutant Strikes as Match Remains Poised at Tea on Day 1

**COLOMBO, SRI LANKA -** Day one of the Test match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh is finely balanced after a session filled with twists and turns, concluding at Tea. Bangladesh currently sits with three wickets down.

Play resumed after lunch following a 90-minute rain delay, with Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim looking to rebuild. The experienced duo put together a resilient 50-run partnership, weathering some close calls. Rahim enjoyed a slice of luck, being dropped at deep mid-wicket and surviving a close outside edge.

However, debutant Sonal Dinusha provided a crucial breakthrough, dismissing a well-set Litton Das (34) caught behind, claiming his maiden Test wicket and breaking the 67-run partnership.

The pitch has shown signs of turn, suggesting Sri Lanka’s spinners could be a significant threat in the final session. All eyes will be on whether the Bangladesh batsmen can navigate the spin challenge or if Sri Lanka can capitalize on the favorable conditions. Play resumes in 20 minutes.
