Taskin Ahmed, after conceding boundaries in his first two deliveries on his return to Bangladesh’s playing XI, drew the first blood bypicking up the wicket of Kusal Mendis. 

It was not quite as short, just back of a length as it caught Mendis in two minds over whether to come forward or stay back. Ended up just poking at this outside off and chops on to the stumps.

Sri Lanka are 25/1 after 3 overs.
