So Bangladesh will have 175 to chase. Given the ease of their last chase here, they might back themselves. But they have Wanindu Hasaranga to contend with on this occasion, of course. I'll be back with Bangladesh's reply shortly

Mustafizur Rahman to Shanaka, 1 run, OUT, excellent from Litton, who does a behind-the-back flick to run a diving Shanaka out. Shanaka had mis-hit this short ball towards long on, and is trying to run back for another two. But although the throw comes in wide of off stump, Litton collects cleanly, and without having time to look finds the one stump available to him. Shanaka is well short.

Mustafizur Rahman to Shanaka, 2 runs, length ball wide of off, Shanaka tries to murder this over the offside but gets a thick outside edge that goes to deep point on the bounce. They scamper two
19.4
6
Mustafizur Rahman to Shanaka, SIX, down the track and smashes this out of the middle. This was a length ball on leg, and Shanaka's forward momentum has helped bring this ball into his arc. The six is over wide long on.

Mustafizur Rahman to Shanaka, no run, a swing and a miss. This is another cutter, full outside off stump. Shanaka tries to launch it straight but misses as the ball breaks away from him
19.2
1b
Mustafizur Rahman to Samarawickrama, 1 bye, dug into the pitch again, but slower and this time Sadeera can't read the pace. He swats at it again but it hits the body and all they can do is a leg bye to the keeper

Mustafizur Rahman to Samarawickrama, FOUR, this is an off cutter, pitching on the stumps, breaking away, but short. Sadeera sets himself and crashes that over midwicket for four. That one sat up nicely to be hit

Shoriful Islam to Shanaka, FOUR, unlucky for Shoriful. This is a short ball, well directed at the body. Shanaka tires to bash this to leg but gets only a top edge to it which sends it high over the keeper and to the boundary

Rishad Hossain to Mathews, OUT, that's just wonderfully clever bowling. A topspinner I think, but tossed up very wide of the stumps - just inside those wide guide lines. Mathews attempts to smash another six because come on this ball is juicy. But the line, and the extra bounce from the top spin ends up with him top-edging it to long off, who takes a decent running catch.

Rishad Hossain to Mathews, SIX, now Mathews lays into one. Again Rishad is slower through the air, but he's in Mathews' arc, who waits for it and launches it very high over cow corner for six.

1
Rishad Hossain to Shanaka, 1 run, slows it down again, another big shot attempted but he only hits to long off this time
17.2

Rishad Hossain to Shanaka, FOUR, Shanaka's trying to get into this innings early. This is tossed up outside off, turning away. Shanaka gets low, judges the pace and turn nicely, and crashes this powerfully back over the bowler's head for four

Rishad Hossain to Mathews, 1 run, dragged down, flat, wide of off. Mathews goes back and cuts this well in front of square

Taskin Ahmed to Shanaka, no run, shortish, on off stump, swung across the line but straight to midwicket.
Shanaka is the new guy.
Excellent timing for that breakthrough. Two new batters in now. But that was an excellent innings from Kusal Mendis.

W
Taskin Ahmed to BKG Mendis, OUT, bouncer, and Kusal has holed out. This is angled in at his body, gets up to chest-high, and gets big on him as he attempts another big pulls shot. Takes the top edge and flies high towards midwicket, where the fielder gets under it with no big issues.

Taskin Ahmed to BKG Mendis, no run, fullish on the stumps, drilled back to the bowler who collects in his follow through and flings it back at the stumps as Kusal has taken a step out of his crease. He's thrown off balance though, and doesn't hit the stumps
