|
0.2 OUT! Bowled 'em! What a delivery this is! Absolute peach! Steams in, keeps it full and gets it to curl back in sharply as Tamim Iqbal looks to flick it across the line. Is beaten by the sheer pace as the ball brushes his pads and the middle stick goes for a walk. Malinga is all pumped up and so is the Colombo crowd. Iqbal walks back without troubling the scorers much. 0/1

| Soumya Sarkar | 29 | 20 | 3 | 1 | 145 |
|
5.5 OUT! Soumya Sarkar throws his start! Sri Lanka will be elated as they have removed two set batsmen. Sanjaya hurls a full length delivery, Sarkar makes room and lofts it down the ground. Gets no elevation and it's a simple take for Thisara Perera at long on who makes no mistake. 57/3

| Sabbir Rahman | 16 | 14 | 2 | 0 | 114.28 |
|
5.1 OUT! Run out! Sabbir Rahman is a goner here! Length ball outside off, Rahman taps it towards covers and sets off for a quick single. Meanwhile, Prasanna charges towards the ball, picks it up and fires in a throw at the non-striker's end and it hits. They refer it upstairs and replays show Sabbir is just short of his crease. In fact, Sabbir changed the direction to avoid a beating from the throw that was coming and in the end pays the price for the same. A much-needed wicket for Sri Lanka. 57/2

| Mushfiqur Rahim Wk | 8 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 88.88 |
|
8.2 OUT! Asela Gunaratne removes Rahim! Hurls a length ball, angling in, Rahim gets down and across to play the paddle scoop but completely misses the line as there is no pace on the ball to work with. He sees the off stump getting shattered and that is it for Mushfiqur. Gunaratne is delighted and Bangladesh are losing the plot now. 70/4

| Shakib Al Hasan | 11 | 15 | 0 | 0 | 73.33 |
|
11.1 OUT! Prasanna strikes! He bowls a slider outside off, Shakib Al Hasan looks to play it down the ground perhaps but ends up slicing it towards Gunaratne at cover-point. He makes no mistake and pouches it safely. Good passage of play for Sri Lanka. 82/5

| Mahmudullah | 31 | 26 | 3 | 0 | 119.23 |
|
18.1 OUT! Timber! A decent cameo from Mahmudullah comes to an end. Malinga sees Mahmudullah backing away and lives up to the reputation of bowling a yorker, Mahmudullah looks to run it down to third man but ends up getting an outside edge that deflects back onto his stumps. 139/6

18.1 OUT! Sri Lanka are still in the driver's seat though with 9 needed from 11 balls. Ahmed bangs in a short delivery on middle, Perera looks to smash it across the line but ends up getting a top edge. The ball lobs over Taskin Ahmed's head. Sarkar comes across to his left from mid off and takes a simple catch. Kusal Perera has to depart but not before playing a brilliant knock. 147/4

| Upul Tharanga C | 24 | 23 | 4 | 0 | 104.34 |

6.5 OUT! Mortaza gets his opposite number! Hits the deck hard and it keeps climbing, Tharanga just looks to run it down but ends up doing so towards short third man where Mustafizur Rahman dives forward to take it. Bangladesh needed a breakthrough and they have got one. Can they sneak a few more? 65/1

| Dilshan Munaweera | 8 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 133.33 |

8.4 OUT! A soft dismissal! Mortaza with another cutter following the batsman who stays leg side. Munaweera ends up chipping it back to the bowler who accepts it gleefully. Mortaza picks up his second and is leading from the front. 79/2

| Asela Gunaratne | 17 | 18 | 1 | 0 | 94.44 |
|
15.3 OUT! Asela has to depart! Full toss around the hips, Gunaratne looks to play it across but gets rapped on the thigh pad as the ball rolls towards short cover. Gunaratne is a bit lazy to take off the blocks and Sabbir Rahman spots it in a flash. Races across, collects it, turns back and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end. Gunaratne seems to be struggling and the umpires refer it upstairs. The replays show that Gunaratne is short of his ground. 120/3
