BAN vs SL Live Cricket Score

0.5 OUT! Malinga is off and running, what a start for him after a layoff of around 16 months. His team knows the importance of him performing this way and they barge towards him with big smiles on their faces. Coming back to the ball, it is in the avenue of apprehension and after landing, the ball seams away substantially. Das is opened up in his stance and pokes at it. Ends up getting a thick outside edge behind. Kusal Mendis at first slip gets low to his left and takes a fine catch before tumbling down. Das' comeback in the ODI side has been a fruitless one. 1/1

1 OUT! Bowled 'em! The best exponent of bamboozling the batsmen is in the thick of things. Bangladesh have been rocked early and Shakib walks back dejected for a golden duck. Malinga steams in and bowls a full and fast delivery on off. It does a lot in the air as the ball swings back in appreciably. Shakib is late to bring his bat down as he tries to jam it across the line but misses it altogether to get his stumps shattered. The perfect start for Malinga and Sri Lanka this. He will be on a hat-trick in his next over. 1/2

49.3 OUT! Rahim departs but not before playing what could be a game-changing knock! Full ball around off, Rahim heaves it towards long on. Kusal Mendis runs in from the deep and dives full length to take a terrific catch. BANGLADESH ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 261! 261/10

25.3 OUT! Malinga returns and gets the breakthrough. Mathews had to do something, he brought his strike bowler back into the attack and he's delivered. Fuller in length and it's the slower one, Mithun doesn't pick it up and looks to flick it over the leg side early. The ball takes the leading edge and it skies above, a little behind on the off side. Kusal Perera settles himself under it and holds on to it. Partnership of 131 comes to an end and Mithun walks back after a super knock. 134/3

26.2 OUT! Oh, what a catch! On a day where the Lankans have been putting the catches down, Dhananjaya de Silva has pulled off an absolute blinder. Tossed up and drifting in on middle, Mahmudullah clears his front leg and tries to play the slog sweep. Makes a complete mess of it and the ball takes a top edges. It balloons towards extra cover, where de Silva watches the ball closely, gets under it and dives behind to his right to takes a stunner. Just what the doctor ordered for Sri Lanka. 136/4

28 OUT! Malinga is on fire! Picks up a 4-fer with utmost ease. This is turning out to be a dream return for the wily old fox in international cricket. He steams in and hits the deck hard. Gets the ball to get big on Hossain as well. He goes for the pull across the line but ends up gloving it behind. Kusal Perera takes a few steps forward and gets low to pouch it safely. Bangladesh have lost 3 wickets for only 8 runs. Sri Lanka are back on top. 142/5

33.4 OUT! Take a bow, Lakmal! That is a stunning catch. A partnership which was building up has been cut short. Full ball on off, Hasan drives it uppishly back towards the bowler. Suranga gets low on his followthrough and takes a brilliant catch to his left and then tumbles down. He plucked that out of thin air. Such moments in the field can change games. 175/6

39 OUT! One shot too many from Mortaza and he's out of here! Chose the wrong angle to go against. A bit quicker in pace from around the wicket, sliding across Mortaza. He tries to slog it across the line but the ball takes the outer half of the bat and lobs towards the point region. Tharanga won't drop those. A successful over for de Silva. 195/7

42.4 OUT! Yes, it has pitched in line and the decision has been overturned! Coming in with the arm from around the wicket, Hossain leans ahead to block it but misses to get hit on the pads. The Sri Lankans go up in unison but the umpire stays put. Mathews takes the review quite soon. Time for the replays. The Hawk Eye rolls in and shows three reds. Rahim has an anxious look on his face. It will be difficult for him to get to his ton now it seems. 203/8

46.5 OUT! Good piece of fielding! Full ball on middle, Rahman defends it down the track and sets off. Rahim sends him back but he is already halfway down. Tries to get back to his crease as Mendis runs in from mid-wicket, picks up the ball and throws it back to the keeper who does the rest. It is referred upstairs. Mustafizur is miles out of his ground. 229/9

3 OUT! Two wickets in two overs for the Tigers and they are charged up. Slower ball from Mortaza outside off, Tharanga looks to guide it towards third man but gets it off his bottom edge onto the stumps. He looks back to the flashing LED lights. Upul was looking good but has to watch the rest of the match from the dressing room. Sri Lanka need a big partnership now. 28/2

2 OUT! Plumb! No inside edge, pitched in line and Mendis has to walk back with a golden duck. His second duck in his last five innings. The Fizz comes in from over the wicket and lands it on leg. Mendis looks to play against the wrong line by flicking it to the on side. Can't get bat to ball and is trapped in front of the stumps. The players appeal but the umpire says no. The fielding side take it up and replay shows us three reds. 22/1

9.2 OUT! No review left and Sri Lanka lose their main man. Arguably. Perhaps done by the pace this time. Quick and on off, it spins just enough to come in. Perera comes ahead and looks to keep the ball out. Keeps his bat close to the ball but cannot get wood to it. He is trapped in front and the umpire nods his head by raising his finger. Hard luck for Kusal, as the replay later on shows us that there was an inside edge onto the pads. 38/4

4.3 OUT! Why did he take the review? Only Dhananjaya will know. Without consulting his partner he took it up and he is a dead duck. Length ball on middle and leg. Angling into de Silva. Dhananjaya looks to work this on the on side but cannot get bat to ball. Gets hit right in front of the stumps. Mortaza appeals and the umpire didn't think twice. De Silva takes it up and replay shows us three reds. Sri Lanka lose their third wicket and also their sole review. Testing times ahead. 32/3

17.2 OUT! LBW! Oh dear... the Lankans now sinking in quicksand here. Mathews is gone. Is the match gone too? On a length outside off, nipping back in, Angelo tries to whip it through the leg side but misses and is hit high on the pads. Rubel appeals and the umpire obliges. No review left for Sri Lanka. Would not have mattered anyways. Hawk Eye shows the ball to be clipping the top of middle stump. 63/6

16.1 RUN OUT! Dasun Shanaka has been sold a dummy down the river in a desert. The missed catch of Shanaka does not count. Full and outside off, Angelo comes down the track and works it towards short mid-wicket. Calls for a run and Dasun responds. But then, suddenly, Mathews reverses his call and sends Shanaka back. Poor lad (Dasun), he is only looking at the fielder after getting the call from Mathews. Too late to turn and by the time he does, Shakib's throw is already to the bowler who disturbs the bails. Then, he disturbs the bails again. Why? No one knows. Anyways, sad luck for Dasun. Sri Lanka sinking deeper. 60/5

18.5 OUT! Gone next ball. Tossed up outside off, a bit slower in pace, Thisara looks to play the slog sweep but is nowhere near the ball. Only gets a top edge which goes as far as backward point. Simple catch for Rubel Hossain. The end seems to be nigh already. 69/7

34.1 OUT! The frustrating stand finally ends. Tossed up outside off, Dilruwan comes down the track and expects the ball to spin in. But this one holds its line and goes past the outside edge. Easy stumping for Liton Das. 120/9

25.2 OUT! Suranga Lakmal will not be the team's highest scorer. A length ball, straight, Lakmal looks to work it through the leg side but misses and has his timber shattered. A partnership of 27 comes to a close. Nothing more than giving respect to the total. 96/8

35.2 OUT! Dropped, dropped, dropped, dropped but eventually caught. Sri Lanka's misery is over. Bangladesh have thumped them by 137 runs. Flighted outside off, Aponso comes down the track and looks to go over mid on but the ball goes off the toe end of his bat. It loops towards the substitute Nazmul Hossain Shanto who fumbles quite a number of times before finally holding on. 124/10
