Sri Lanka made a record 531 runs in their first innings of the BAN vs SL 2nd Test on Sunday but Kamindu Mendis narrowly missed scoring a third century in consecutive Test innings.

Sri Lanka's total on the second day in Chittagong was the highest scored in Tests without any batsman reaching a century -- improving on India's 524-9 against New Zealand at Kanpur in 1976. Bangladesh reached 55-1 at stumps, trailing Sri Lanka by 476 runs. Opener Zakir Hasan was unbeaten on 28 alongside nightwatchman Taijul Islam after Lahiru Kumara bowled Mahmudul Hasan Joy for 21.
