15.2 OUT! MEHEDI STRIKES AGAIN! Served slower through the air outside off, spinning away, Tharanga looks to defend it very late. Prods forward to play but gets an outside edge straight to first slip. Soumya Sarkar, the man there crouches low, going forward to grab it cleanly. Tharanga has to depart. Good piece of bowling from Mehedi, he is mixing it up nicely. SL in trouble now!  35/3

He comes down the track and looks to defend it but gets beaten by the and dip on it. Mushfiqur is onto it in a flash and whips the bails off. The youngster fails to make his mark this time. Bangladesh are upbeat and on top.  24/2

106 OUT! CHANDIMAL DEPARTS! He goes for the big one but mishits! Rahim brought the field up for the last ball and it has paid rich dividends. The ball is a full delivery on middle and leg, Chandimal kneels down and goes for the slog sweep but mistimes it straight into the hands of Mosaddek at mid-wicket. That's end of a superb knock by Chandimal! Standout performer for SL!  305/9

27.4 OUT! BOWLING CHANGE WORKS! Excellent captaincy by Rahim. After seeing both these players deal with spin well, he brought on Subashis Roy. Now coming back to the ball, it was a full delivery, angling into the stumps. Gunaratne comes across, looking to flick but misses it completely and is rapped up on the pads. There's a huge appeal and it is ruled out instantly. Gunaratne knew it and was already making his way back. Bangladesh will be full of joy and why won't they be! On this note, it will be LUNCH ON DAY 1!  70/4

47.2 OUT! TIMBER! Short and sliding in, de Silva goes back to pull but misses. The ball brushes the back pad and crashes into the stumps. That's really a poor choice of shot from de Silva. He was playing so well and when his team needed him, he goes for a loose shot. End of the 66-run stand! Will the visitors come back again in the game?  136/5

59.1 OUT! Bowled! A rash stroke brings about the dismissal. Full and well outside leg, Dickwella looks to play the reverse sweep but misses. The ball goes beneath the bat and pegs the leg stump back. One can say it is a needless stroke but then that is the way young kids play these days. End of a flashy innings.  180/6

64.4 OUT! MUSTAFIZUR GETS HIS SECOND WICKET! Very full delivery well outside off, Dilruwan looks to squeeze it through square of the wicket on the off side but ends up getting a healthy outside edge that flies towards first slip. Soumya Sarkar who is stationed there leaps and takes a fine catch. Bangladesh are right on top.  195/7

91.1 OUT! GRITTY KNOCK FROM HERATH COMES TO AN END! Fullish delivery outside off, skidding through. Herath looks to drive it through covers but gets an outside edge towards Soumya Sarkar at first slip. He grabs at it hard in the first attempt. The ball pops out.

113.3 OUT! BANGLADESH ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 338! Banged in short, angling into the batsman, Lakmal gets his eyes away from the ball and looks to pull it.

With that, Lakmal's gritty innings comes to an end and that shall be LUNCH too!  338/10

27.4 OUT! REVIEW SUCCESSFUL! Tamim misses out on another fifty by just one run. Quicker one and fullish in length on off, slides in with the arm. Iqbal looks to play it across but misses and is rapped on the front pad. There is a huge appeal for LBW but the umpire is not interested. Herath decides to take the review this time. Time for the replays. They do not spot any inside edge. The Hawk Eye shows that the impact is in line and it is going to crash into the leg stump. The decision has to be overturned and fortunately for Sri Lanka, they made the right call to go for the review and get the correct decision. THAT SHALL BE TEA ON DAY 2!  95/1

41.3 OUT! TIMBER! Wrong one again, pitched outside off, spinning in, Sarkar once again looks to take the attack to the bowler, charges down but misreads it. The ball goes through the gap between the bat and the pads and onto the stumps. What a delivery! Sarkar was struggling against Sandakan and finally pays the price. End of a good knock from Sarkar. Once again he got the start but couldn't convert it into a big one!  130/2

56.4 OUT! DEAD PLUMB! Shorter one outside off, spinning in, Kayes goes back to drag but misses it completely. The ball hits him on the back pad and there are loud shouts of lbw all around. Umpire Ravi raises his finger straightaway! But, has a check upstairs for the no ball but Sandakan is well in. Kayes is frustrated with himself and why won't he be? With just 3 overs remaining in the day, it was a totally needless shot! BANGLADESH TRAIL BY 146 RUNS!  192/3

57.4 OUT! What's happening out there? Banged in short, angling towards the body of the batsman, Sabbir goes for the pull but isn't in control of it. The ball lobs off his gloves to de Silva at leg gully who takes it well diving forward. That's really poor from Bangladesh! They have lost their way just at the end of the day! 3 wickets within space of 7 deliveries!  198/5

56.5 OUT! REVIEW SUCCESSFUL! Two-in-two for Sandakan! Wrong one again, outside off, Islam looks to defend it off the front foot but misses and is hit on the front pad. The players appeal but the umpire stays unmoved this time. Herath goes for the review. After the replays confirm no involvement of the bat, we move to the Hawk Eye. It shows that the impact is in line and is going on to hit the stumps. Taijul fails to do his job and has to return for a golden duck!  192/4

113.2 OUT! SHAKIB HOLES OUT! Amateur stuff from Shakib! Full outside off, Shakib goes after it, charges down the track and looks to bunt it down the ground. Doesn't get the timing right and the ball flies towards Chandimal at mid on, who takes a couple of steps to his left and grabs it near his throat. But just 5 minutes to Tea, he should not have opted for that shot! Nonetheless, it was a superb knock from the Bangladeshi all rounder! LEAD IS NOW 83!  421/7

81.1 OUT! Just what the doctor ordered! Lakmal runs in with the new nut, bowls it fuller around off, comes in, Rahim looks to drive on the up but gets a faint inside edge back onto his stumps. Rahim walks back dejected and why not, he was looking so good. Bangladesh still trail by 48 runs.  290/6

134.1 OUT! Herath completes the proceedings! Tossed up in line of the stumps, lures Mosaddek into a big shot. He goes for it and gets beaten in flight. Dickwella behind the stumps, collects the ball comfortably and whips the bails off. That's end of a fine, fine knock from the debutant! BANGLADESH ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 467!  467/10

128.1 OUT! PLUMB! Flatter on middle and leg, squares up Mehedi who is on his back foot. The players go up in an appeal and the umpire upholds the appeal. Mehedi comes down to have a chat with Mosaddek. They go for the review. Replays confirm that there was no bat there and Ball Tracker shows three reds and that is it for Mehedi Hasan, he has to go back. 999th wicket for Rangana Herath in First-Class Cricket!  454/8

128.2 OUT! 1000th First-Class wicket for Rangana Herath! Lands it outside off, spins in late as Rahman looks to defend coming forward. He gets beaten and is hit on his front pad. The players appeal for an lbw and S Ravi obliges. Herath has taken two in two and that is a milestone wicket for the Sri Lankan skipper. Replays though show it was missing the leg stump, so Rahman should have reviewed it. Bangladesh lead by 116!  454/9

81.3 OUT! SHAKIB STRIKES! It is a very vital breakthrough and Karunaratne departs after a brilliant knock. Bowls it pretty slow through the air and outside off, inviting Karunaratne to go for the drive. He strides forward and pushes at it but gets an outside edge that goes towards Soumya Sarkar at first slip. He accepts the catch gleefully and the visitors are fired up. The stubborn partnership comes to an end. Sri Lanka lead by 88 runs with three wickets in hand.  217/7

14.1 OUT! MEHEDI STRIKES WITH A RIPPER! Tossed up on leg stump, spinning away sharply. Tharanga looks to cover the line in order to counter the turn but it is too good for him. Misses it by a long margin and the ball goes onto rattle the off stump. Bangladesh are elated and why not, it is a big wicket. Such venomous turn, that will ring the alarm bells for the home side. Sri Lanka still trail by 72 runs.  57/1

45 OUT! REVIEW SUCCESSFUL! Fuller length ball angling in from outside off, straightens a touch after landing, Mendis lunges forward and looks to defend it but seems to have missed it as the ball goes straight into the gloves of Rahim. There is a chirpy appeal from the Bangladeshi side. The umpire gives it not out. After some thought, they go for the review. The replays suggest that there is a slight noise as the ball goes past the outside edge. But is it conclusive enough to overrule the on-field call? After taking his time, third umpire, Marais Erasmus decides to rule it in favour of the bowling side. A decent knock from Mendis comes to an end. Sri Lanka lead by 14 runs!  143/2

50.2 OUT! Chandimal fails to make his mark this time! Fuller length ball well outside off, moving away after pitching. Chandimal reaches out to it and pushes at it tamely but gets a thick outside edge. Mushfiqur Rahim behind the stumps dives to his right and takes a regulation catch. Sri Lanka lead by 36 runs. Can the visitors trigger a collapse?  165/3

53.4 OUT! SRI LANKA IN TROUBLE! What have you done, Asela? Straighter one outside off, Gunaratne completely misreads it and offers no shot. He is rapped on the front pad. The fielding side appeals and the umpire raises his finger straightaway. He doesn't go for the review and Gunaratne has to walk back to the hut. That was really poor from the batsman. The Ball Tracker confirms umpire Dar's decision. The lead is now just 47 runs!  176/4

55 OUT! DE SILVA GIFTS HIS WICKET AWAY AS WELL! Slower delivery and fuller in length outside off, de Silva looks to push it with an open face towards third man but ends up getting an outside edge. Rahim behind the stumps moves to his right and pouches it safely. The Bangladeshi side is ecstatic and they are back in a commanding position. The hosts lead by 48 runs with five wickets in hand.  177/5

59.1 OUT! BRILLIANCE FROM RAHIM! That's great anticipation from the Bangladeshi skipper! Flatter one on middle and off, skidding through, Dickwella goes for the cheeky sweep. Seeing that Rahim and Sarkar from behind the stumps move to their right in anticipation. The ball goes off the bat and sticks in Rahim's outstretched right hand. Shakib gets his man! But, this wicket should go to the fielder! SRI LANKA ARE 61/6 EFFECTIVELY!  190/6

112.4 OUT! Oh no Dilruwan, what have you done! How many times have we heard that one should never run on a misfield but cricketers sometimes don't pay heed to cliches. Bowls it on middle, Dilruwan looks to clip it towards mid-wicket. There was a fumble by the fielder and that made Lakmal push for the single. Subashis, who was stationed there recovers in time and fires a throw at the non-striker's end. Mehedi does the rest and appeals. It is referred upstairs. Replays show Dilruwan's dive does not save him and what a way to lose your wicket after such a grind! Sri Lanka lead by 189!  318/9

91.2 OUT! TAIJUL STRIKES! Bowling change works! Tossed up outside off, spinning in, Herath comes across to work it on the leg side. The spin surprises him a touch and he hops back to play it but misses. He is rapped on the knee roll of the front pad. Taijul appeals confidently and the umpire raises his finger. Herath, after consulting his partner goes for the review. The replays confirm no involvement of the bat. The Hawk Eye shows that impact is in line and the ball is going on to hit the middle stump. Three reds and the decision stays! Lankan skipper's gritty innings comes to an end! SRI LANKA ARE EFFECTIVELY 109/8!  238/8

113.2 OUT! Shakib takes the final one! Floats it on the stumps, Lakmal comes down and has a slog at it. The ball goes off the outer half and skies towards wide long off. Mosaddek gets across to his left and pouches the catch. That ends the innings for Sri Lanka. Bangladesh need 191 runs to win!  319/10

36.5 OUT! No need for Tamim to do that! Tossed up in the line of the stumps, Tamim dances down the track and tries to go for a biggie. He manages to hit it off the bottom half of the bat. The ball goes high in the air towards the long on region. Chandimal from mid on traces backwards and takes a fine catch. Perera gets his first wicket and Tamim will be really disappointed.  131/3

7.5 OUT! Sarkar throws it away! Tossed up outside off, Sarkar charges down the wicket to go big but he fails to make the contact he desired. He gets a top edge which flies towards the fielder at long off. Upul Tharanga comes ahead a touch, gets under it and takes a simple catch. Birthday boy draws first blood.  22/1

8 OUT! Two in two for the skipper! Floated outside off, Imrul Kayes lunges forward and tries to defend it.

The Sri Lankans are excited.  22/2

40.5 OUT! Brilliant review! Tossed up around middle and leg, Rahman kneels down and goes for the sweep. He misses it completely and the players appeal. The umpire says no. Dickwella asks his captain to take it and his captain obliges. Replays show that it was a legal delivery. Ball Tracker show that the ball pitched in line, impact also in line and it was hitting which means three reds. And the umpire has to change his decision. Sabbir Rahman is disappointed as he makes his way back to the hut.  143/4

48.1 OUT! What happened there? Short and wide outside off, Shakib goes for a cut but manages to find a thick inside edge which goes onto hit the keeper's pads. The bails has fallen somehow. The umpire has gone upstairs to check that. Oh dear, the replays show that Shakib has actually dragged it onto the stumps. What a way to get out, at this point of time in the game. He needs to walk back. Can the Lankans force a comeback?  162/5

57.2 OUT! Way too late this time! Floated outside off, the ball kicks off from the surface. Hossain tries to run it down on the off side but ends up getting surprised by the extra bounce as he edges it to the keeper. The players appeal and the umpire says yes. Hossain won't be the one to score the winning runs. He is disappointed to make his way back.  189/6
