Bangladesh though won't mind how the wickets come! Dickwella dances down the wicket, this is fired outside off. Dickwella throws his bat at it but seems to have missed it. Das whips the bails off and appeals but not with a lot of excitment. It is an appeal for a stumping. The umpire takes it upstairs. However, they check first if there is an edge and Ultra Edge shows a spike as the ball passes the bat. Good passage of play this for the host.  482/7

162.5 OUT! THREE REDS! Not sure why the review was taken! That always looked out. Mendis had almost walked off but right at the end, signaled the 'T'. To no avail though and he takes a review along with him too! On middle, Ebadot Hossain bowls a lot straighter this time after bowling quite a few outside off. Mendis shuffles across and looks to flick but misses to get hit in front. An appeal and the finger is raised. Mendis starts walking off but in the end, decides to review. Replays show that the on-field call is the right one. Bangladesh into the tail now. Can they now make quick work of the remaining wickets?  501/8

163.3 OUT! TAKEN! Shakib has his 5th! 19 Test fifer! That is a beauty of a delivery. Way too good for a number 10 batter. This is tossed up on off, it lands and spins away sharply. Praveen Jayawickrama looks to defend but it goes off the outside edge and into the hands of Das. He takes it on the second attempt. An appeal, the umpire gives it a thought and then raises the finger. Praveen Jayawickrama won't be too disappointed after looking at how that spun.  502/9

9.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Bangladesh are in deep, deep trouble now. This is a good-length ball, around the corridor of uncertainty. Mahmudul Hasan Joy has a poke at it.

The ball goes towards the keeper and a loud shout from Sri Lanka. The finger stays down and they go for a review.

Pressure on Bangladesh now!  19/3

20.3 OUT! Cleaned up! Cracker of a delivery from Kasun Rajitha and he gets the big fish. This is slanted in off a length, close to the off pole. The ball just nips back in sharply and there's that uneven bounce again. The ball keeps low and before Mushfiqur Rahim can get his bat down, the ball skids through and rattles the off stump. Huge, huge moment in the Test match and in the series as well. Rajitha is all pumped up and understandably so.  53/5

47.5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! It seemed like Sri Lanka would have to pull off something special to get rid of Litton Das and Asitha Fernando has just produced it! This is pitched up on middle, Das looks to drive it straight back past the bowler but just checks his shot in the end. The ball goes a bit uppishly and Fernando just sticks out a right hand while in his followthrough and pouches it out of thin air. Das departs after another well-made fifty but the visitors have the breakthrough they were looking for. This could be a big turning point in the game.  156/6

51.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Asitha Fernando strikes yet again! He gets rid of another set batter. Bangladesh are in a spot of bother now! Asitha Fernando drops it short now, down leg. Shakib Al Hasan swivels and pulls this one. But the ball goes off the top-edge and lobs up towards the gully region. Niroshan Dickwella runs forward towards his right and takes the catch comfortably. There are new batters at the crease now and the Bangladesh fightback could be over pretty soon as they lead by just 22 runs.  163/7

55.3 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Asitha Fernando grabs his 6th wicket of the innings and his 10th wicket of the match. He becomes the second bowler from Sri Lanka to achieve this feat. The first one was Chaminda Vass to do so! Coming to the ball - Asitha Fernando keeps things simple as he serves a fuller ball, swinging in a tad, and attacking the stumps. Khaled Ahmed looks to hoick this towards the leg side but he misses it completely. The ball goes on to knock the stumps over!
