SL vs BAN Live Cricket Score

8.1 OUT! Drags it on! Both the openers are back in the hut now! Tamim Iqbal's poor run with the bat continues. He will be disappointed with the way he got out here. This is a nothing delivery. It is short and outside off. Tamim throws his bat at it away from the body. He only manages an inside edge which deflects back onto the stumps. Bangladesh in trouble now. 31/2

5.4 OUT! LBW! That is plumb in front! Sarkar is dismissed of a full toss. He was probably beaten for pace there. Pradeep steams in from around the wicket and looks to bowl a yorker but ends up bowling a full toss. Sarkar looks to flick but is late in the shot. He misses and gets hit right in front. An appeal and the umpire raises the finger. Another failure for Sarkar. Pradeep draws first blood for the hosts. 26/1

14.3 OUT! Straight to the man! Dream start for Akila after returning into the side. The bowling change has worked brilliantly. A very soft dismissal this. Dananjaya floats this up on off, it is the off spinner. Mithun looks to work it with the turn but it comes slow off the surface. He ends up hitting it uppishly to Mendis at mid-wicket who accepts a dolly. Bangladesh continue to lose wickets at regular intervals. 52/3

19 OUT! TIMBER! Akila Dananjaya gets another. That is a lovely delivery. This one spins back in sharply. This is flatter and outside off, it pitches and spins back in. Mahmudullah goes back and looks to hit it through the off side but is done in by the turn. The ball hits the off pole.Bangladesh continue to slip further. 68/4

24.3 OUT! The wild throw and the dive does not save Sabbir there. That is how far out he came running. Just needless for Bangladesh. This is the last thing they would have wanted. The pair which played so well in the last game hardly contributes anything this time around. Bangladesh have half the side back in the hut and they have not even crossed 100. Dananjaya lands this on off. Sabbir pushes this towards covers and sets off. Rahim takes a few steps ahead but then sends him back. The fielder picks the ball up and the throw is a poor one. The keeper collects the ball and then dives to shatter the stumps. An appeal follows and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and they show that Sabbir's dive has not saved him. Mushfiqur is once again involved in a run out. In the last game it was Mosaddek who fell prey and this time it is Sabbir. 88/5

31.5 OUT! Caught! Brilliantly directed bouncer does the trick here! Udana comes steaming in and bowls a bouncer close to the body. Mosaddek goes for the pull but ends up top edging it to the left of the keeper. Kusal Perera behind the stumps, moves to that side and stretches out to take a very good catch. Bangladesh's struggle to get partnership going continues. 117/6

45.3 OUT! End of a very good knock from Mehedi! He will miss out on a well deserved fifty here. Pradeep outfoxes Mehedi with a very nicely bowled slower ball. It is around off, Mehedi looks to go over mid off but does not get the desired timing and elevation on it and he ends up hitting it straight to the man at mid off. Skipper, Dimuth Karunaratne there makes no mistake and takes a simple catch. Good knock from the youngster though. His partnership with Mushfiqur has taken his side to a fighting total here. 201/7

49.2 OUT! Taijul is short of his crease but more importantly for Bangladesh, Mushfiqur is on strike. Short ball outside off, Taijul looks to pull but misses. Perera has a shy at the keeper's end but misses. Taijul is guilty of watching his partner. The ball goes to Pradeep and he scores a hit at the bowler's end. 231/8

20.4 OUT! Caught! Fernando's fireworks comes to an end! Finally some respite for Mustafizur. He bowls another slower ball but this is on a length. It is around off, Fernando looks to flat bat it over mid off but he ends up slicing it to the right of the man there. Bangladesh skipper, Tamim Iqbal there moves to his right and takes a simple catch. End of a brilliant knock from the young Avishka. He won't get a ton here but he has taken his side very close to victory. 110 needed off 176 balls. 129/2

11.3 OUT! Bowled! Bangladesh have their much-needed breakthrough here. The ploy to replace Mustafizur with Mehedi has worked. Mehedi comes around the wicket and bowls a quicker one on middle and leg, Karunaratne hangs back and looks to play it off the back foot. The ball though skids onto him and deflects off his pads onto the stumps. This might just be the opening Bangladesh wanted. 168 needed in 231 balls now. 71/1

24.4 OUT! Caught! Mustafizur gets his second of the game. Soft dismissal this for Perera. Fuller ball around off, Kusal Perera looks to drive it on the up. He does so but ends up hitting it uppishly and straight to covers. Soumya Sarkar there takes a good catch as the ball was struck with venom there. Sri Lanka need 93 in 152 balls now. 146/3
