Bangladesh Test captain Mominul Haque said they will do whatever it takes to win the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka as the second and final match begins Monday in Dhaka.
The first Test ended in a draw after the Lankan Lions held on to force a draw on the last day in Chattogram.

Mushfiqur Rahim and Nayeem Hasan did well for the hosts while Angelo Mathews, who scored 199 and won the player of the match award, led the visitors on a pitch that offered little to produce a result.
But the wickets in Dhaka are known for producing results in Tests. Of 22 Tests in Dhaka, 19 ended with a result. So, the chance of getting a result in Dhaka is high, believes the Bangladesh skipper.
"We saw only a few matches without a result in Mirpur," Mominul said. "It's hard to remember when I did not see a result here. But to win a match, we have to play well and need to have a great plan."
Bangladesh will miss the service of Shoriful Islam and Nayeem in this match. Both sustained injuries in the first match and were subsequently ruled out of Dhaka Test, and they are also doubtful for Bangladesh's next tour to West Indies for a two-match Test, three-match ODI and three-match T20I series.
Their absence might pave the way for Ebadot Hossain and Mosaddek Hossain Saikat in the Dhaka Test.
"Ebadot might get a chance, and it would be great for him," the Bangladesh captain said.
"Mosaddek might play in this Test; he has a good chance to be in the playing XI. Shakib (Al Hasan) did well in the last match, and Nayeem (Hasan) has been one of our best batters in the format for the last few years. If Mosaddek plays in this match, he might have a different role."

This series is a part of the ongoing cycle of the ICC Test Championship. Bangladesh played seven Tests in this event and won only one early this year against New Zealand.
Earlier, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka locked horns in three Tests at Sher-e-Bangla, and the Lankans won all the matches.
