Dhananjaya de Silva (Sri Lanka Captain): "Well I always talk about first innings. It went out of our hands in both batting and bowling. Yes it was flat but we could've bowled well. The wicket was flat and Mushfiqur and Shanto batted very well and didn't give us any chance. Our spinners tried their best. Not at all worried regarding their performance.
When I came to the scene, it was under Angelo's captaincy. When he is leaving the Test, it is under my captaincy. This is a thing to remember for me! Angelo is leaving the format and we all have to move forward. We have the back-up for Angelo."
