The first Test between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka has commenced as the Tigers won the toss and elected to bat first. Openers Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes have started off very well, with the former batting with controlled aggression. However, Dilruwan Perera got the better of him as Tamim departed soon after making a 50. 

A well made 52 from 53 balls from Tamim Iqbal has given Bangladesh a good start. Now, the other batsmen have to do their work.
