Avinash: "Same ending for both the innings. One bowler picking up 5 wickets, the other one picking 4 and the last wicket to be run out." Yes, and that along with the big 6th wicket stands, some quality mirroring going on with the sides this Test.

4.08pm So Sri Lanka are all out for 506, and they have a lead of 141. Angelo Mathews remains unbeaten on 145, while Shakib is the pick of the Bangladeshi bowlers with figures of 5 for 96 - his 19th five-wicket haul in Tests. Ebadot ends with figures of 4 for 148. Everything was going well for Sri Lanka until Chandimal fell trying to up the ante. After that it was wickets at regular intervals, until Mathews eventually ran out of partners. Sri Lanka though will feel that they're the only team that can get a result from here, with the wicket assisting the bowlers a little more now. Bangladesh will have about an hour to bat out today, let's see how they get on in a bit.

Shakib Al Hasan to Mathews, 1 run, OUT, Direct hit! And is that the end of the innings? Yes it is! This is tossed up and driven down the ground by Mathews and Asitha insists on coming back for the second to keep Mathews on strike. But the throw from mid-off is a good one, and Asitha is well short of.

Shakib Al Hasan to Jayawickrama, OUT, turn and bounce and taken! It was generously tossed up on off, Jayawickrama had a poke as he defended forward, it brushed the glove for Litton Das to pouch it safely. Shakib has 5 for the innings. His 19th Test five-for. And Bangladesh are one away

Ebadot Hossain to RTM Mendis, OUT, they all go up and the finger goes up! Mendis reviews as an afterthought. It was full and tailing in, Mendis swung across the line but missed as it smashed into his pads. Flat line on ultra-edge. And it was crashing into middle, so Ebadot picks up his fourth for the innings. Mendis' breezy innings comes to a close
