On a two-paced pitch, young pacer Matheesha Pathirana took career-best figures of 4-32, while the ever-reliant Maheesh Theekshana picked up 2-19 as Bangladesh were bowled out for 164 in 42.4 overs.

For the hosts, only in-form all-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva managed to go past 50, making 57 and sharing an 85-run stand with Dinesh Chandimal were the only notable points in a disappointing batting performance.

Galle, July 16 (Ians) Pakistan’s Shaheen Shah Afridi was back to doing what he does best –- picking up early wickets as the pacer ran through Sri Lanka’s top order in the first Test. Sri Lanka, however, recovered from the early setbacks to reach 242/6 in 65.4 overs on a rain-truncated opening day.
Shaheen Afridi, who last played a Test match almost a year ago against Sri Lanka and was out of action for some months with multiple injuries, in the process picked his 100th Test wicket.
Sri Lanka opener Nishan Madushka was the victim, who couldn’t deal with the angle and movement Afridi produced. The 23-year-old added two more wickets in his eight-over long opening spell, squaring up Kusal Mendis for his second before removing the solid Dimuth Karunaratne.
At 23 years of age, only two other Pakistan bowlers had achieved the feat of 100 Test wickets – Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis.

ReviewThe film, based on litterateur and humanist Poornachandra Tejaswi’s short story, is a wholesome, precious watch in today’s world filled with division and hate.Sometime in 1973, when the world in retrospect seems way better than it was today, Poornachandra Tejaswi wrote a short story about a Muslim boy entering a Hindu-only government college in a place called Abachur. He’s seen as an alien, someone whose culture stands out, in a college filled with Hindus. The village is pretty and everything looks picture perfect, but there’s a deep undercurrent of resentment between the Hindus and Muslims there after a Hindu girl and a Muslim boy eloped. How will Musthafa (a fabulous Shishir Baikady) fit in? The teacher struggles to pronounce his name — Jamal Abdullah Mustafa Hussain — and director Shashank Soghal builds up every trope of Muslims that we have been fed over the years before breaking each...

ReviewActor Naveen Shankar is a revelation as Bali, the devoted lackey of the town’s dreaded sand mafia.Dhananjaya in Gurudev HoysalaAt first glance, Gurudev Hoysala is a routine cop movie that eulogises its titular character. The opening moments of the film show a group of men attempting to vandalise the statue of Sangolli Rayanna over a petty cause, but little do they know that crime is the wrong profession to pick when Gurudev is in town. Right on cue, we have the supercop arriving on the scene atop a glorious horse, flashing his RayBans and channelling his inner Sangolli Rayanna. It's the ideal entry scene, and keeping up with tradition, there's a slo-mo action sequence thrown in as the title card flares up to maximise the effect. A scene like this is always unsettling for the first few moments, and then one begins to fear that, perhaps, the entire...

Once you enter, you cannot find the exit. You have to sit, crawl, bawl like a baby, and absorb the rawness, despite your likes and dislikes. It is only then that the exit gates open. When you look at the journey called life through Soori’s lens, it is always unfair; there are no happy endings. You don’t always get what you want, despite being the ‘hero’. You get what you deserve, and sometimes you don’t even get that because – such is life. Popcorn Devi (Niveditha aka Smitha), a popcorn seller, accidentally ends up in jail and delivers a baby girl there. The inmates take good care of her and one day she finally becomes a free bird and enters the real world.
