SL vs BAN Live Cricket Score

63.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The debutant gets his first wicket and it is a big one! Length ball, outside off. Dimuth Karunaratne doesn't move his feet and goes for the cut. The ball takes the bottom edge of the bat and goes to the keeper. Liton Das dives forward and takes a good low catch.  209/1

104.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Taskin Ahmed has finally got a wicket. A wicket he has rightfully deserved. End of a fantastic knock but Thirimanne will be disappointed to be dismissed in this fashion and he will be more gutted not to have converted this 140 to a double ton. Nonetheless, he has played a very good knock. Taskin bangs it short on middle and leg, Lahiru Thirimanne moves across his stumps and looks to glance it behind. The ball tickles his glove and goes to the keeper. Liton Das is never going to drop those. He takes a sitter. The 104-run stand is broken and Bangladesh have got their reward for good bowling this season. Can the tourists utilise this opening and make it count?  313/2

136.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Great work from the keeper and it sends the well-set Oshada Fernando back to the pavilion. Mehidy Hasan gets his first wicket. Bangladesh have been really good on Day 2.

An appeal is made and the finger has gone up.  382/6

111.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Taijul strikes and this session is turning out to be a sweet, sweet one for the tourists. Dhananjaya de Silva departs without making much of an impact with the bat and the third wicket of the session falls. Flighted delivery pitching around off, it is short too. Dhananjaya gets on his back foot and looks to defend. The previous ball he was lucky not to edge it. This time not so much. The ball hits his glove and goes to the man at slip. Najmul Hossain Shanto there fumbles the first attempt but manages to take it in the second.  328/4

135.4 OUT! TIMBER! That kept very low and Taskin is among the wickets once again! Pathum Nissanka cannot believe it and stands there in complete disbelief. Taskin Ahmed is pumped up.

With this wicket, it is Lunch on Day 3.  99/2

64.5 OUT! LBW! That is plumb and Bangladesh are in big, big trouble now! Full ball, almost a yorker on the stumps. Mominul Haque looks to dig it out but is hit on the pads. The umpire takes his time before raising the finger. Mominul Haque has a word with his partner but decides not to review it. They still trail by 269.  224/5

83 OUT! HIT WICKET! What a way to end the innings. Really unfortunate. A short ball, around middle, Taijul Islam rocks back to defend. The ball goes to the off side and for a second, everything seems normal. But then, someone points out that the bails are down at the striker's end. The umpire refers it upstairs and replay shows that Taijul loses his shoe while going back, which in turn, hits the stumps! SRI LANKA GET A LEAD OF 242.  251/10

79.1 OUT! ANOTHER LBW. Pitched way outside off, Taskin looks to work it to the leg side. But the ball spins in a long way, beats the bat and hits the pads. Jayawickrama appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Ball Tracker confirms the ball to be hitting the leg stump.  243/8

It has been a brilliant innings from the Sri Lankan skipper! He has put them in firm control of the Test.  112/4

3.1 OUT! STUMPED! What was that? Brainfade? Literally poor piece of batting. Thrown up, outside off, mind you, this is the first ball by Taijul for this innings. What does Oshada do?

16.4 OUT! TAKEN! There comes the wicket! Saif Hassan was looking to take risks and he has perished now. Excellent bowling by the spinners, they stuck to their lines and Praveen Jayawickrama has been rewarded as a result of that. Looped up, on off. Saif Hassan looks to go big down the ground, but he is beaten by the spin and in flight. The ball takes the outside edge and goes to Suranga Lakmal at cover. He takes an easy catch.  73/2

50.2 OUT! LBW! The replays cannot save Liton Das as he is plumb as one can get! Sri Lanka get their first wicket of the day and it is the youngster Jayawickrama who has got the breakthrough. The last recognized batsman, Liton Das is out of here and things look very murky for Bangladesh. Flighted delivery pitching on off and turning back in. Jayawickrama gets a little drift and turn on the previous one but this goes straight with the angle. Liton leans forward to defend but this one comes straight on and hits the front pad of Liton. A huge appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Liton reviews it but to no avail. Ultra Edge first shows no involvement of bat. Ball Tracker then rolls in and shows it to be hitting the top of leg. Three reds on the Ball Tracker. Liton has to walk back and he takes a review with him as well.  183/6

61.2 OUT! CAUGHT! The change of bowling does the trick for Sri Lanka as Dhananjaya strikes in his first over. Taijul, who was negotiating the spin well, has lost his concentration and departs. Short outside off, it pitches and turns away from Taijul. It was a nothing delivery. Taijul goes fishing after and ends up getting an under edge. Dickwella does really well to take the catch.
