With an array of attacking strokes, Tamim punished the bowlers and was batting as if he was featuring in a T-20. If not for rain, that washed out the final session’s play on Sunday, Tamim could have posted his hundred. Sri Lanka will be looking to dismiss him early in the second Test that gets underway at Pallekele today. The wicket for the first Test was disappointing and it remains to be seen what the teams will be presented with for the second Test. Coming into the series after a heavy defeat at the hands of West Indies, we were happy with our effort to draw the first Test and we look forward for the second Test,” Bangladesh skipper Mominul Haque said.
