10.25am Just over ten overs needed today for Bangladesh to knock down the last two wickets. Roshen Silva looked solid, finishing unbeaten on 70. Is the lead of 338 beyond Bangladesh's reach? We'll find out when the fourth innings begins in ten minutes.

Isuru Silva: "Herath pay the price for didn't sweep,,,,, soo funny but have to say that,,, he is very good with his sweep and reverse sweep rather than defence,,,,,,, "

Taijul Islam to Herath, OUT, that's two in two! Sri Lanka have no reviews. Pitched up full outside off, spins into Herath and he misses his defense. Hits him on the pad and the umpire's quick to raise his finger. Did that hit outside off? We'll never know. Silva remains not out as Sri Lanka are all out for 226.

Sachith: "Is this lead isn't enough the match for SL???" -- Definitely a big lead but they'd rather bat and wear out the surface further. We're not even halfway through this Test! Herath in at No. 11

Taijul Islam to Lakmal, OUT, full on off stump, down on one knee, looking to slog sweep... but misses! Crashes into off stump and the captain shakes Taijul's hand. A useful knock comes to an end

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Silva, no run, stays very low! Full outside off, and spinning sharply inwards. Has to skip onto the back foot, and does extremely well to get his bat down in time. Yikes

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Silva, no run, full outside off, steps forward and blocks with the bat's full face

Kasun Suraj: "I simply cannot find a proper reason to taking such a long time to give the test cap to Roshen. Now he is 29+. If it happened atleast 3 or 4 years before he would have been a giant among the international test batsmen. SL selectors, please bring players to the international battle field at the correct time."

Mustafizur Rahman to Lakmal, FOUR, full on middle and leg, in the slot to be put away, and it's flicked nonchalantly towards the leg side. Enough power behind that shot, as it dribbles away to the deep midwicket boundary

MohammedAlam: "I can't fathom it how Sri Lankan tail enders can bat for 50-60 balls and Bangladeshi top and middle order Batters can't. Surely latent is not the reason. Frustrating for Bangladeshi fans" -- Meanwhile, Laknmal is facing some back trouble. Needs the spray on his lower back.
