Litton Das and Shakib al Hasan briefly threatened to take Bangladesh to safety but once Litton went via a brilliant return catch by Asitha Fernando, the rest followed quickly. Asitha ripped through the lower-order to pick up 6 for 51 -his best figures in Tests - and 10 for the match. The Sri Lanka seamers were phenomenal, taking nine between them in the first innings and eight in the second. But the match was really set up on the fourth evening when Bangladesh were reduced to 23 for 4. Bangladesh only lead by 28 here. Sri Lanka openers will come out in about ten minutes to wrap this up.

AM Fernando to Khaled Ahmed, OUT, make that six as he cleans him up! Ten for the match for Asitha Fernando. It was full and straight, Khaled swung across the line but missed it completely as it crashed into the stumps. Bangladesh have been bundled out

AM Fernando to Taijul Islam, OUT, big appeal and given lbw. It was full and straight, he looked to clip it leg side but was beaten by pace to be struck seemingly in front. Taijul reviews. Did it pitch on? There's no bat involved. It's pitching in line and clipping off stump. That's Asitha Fernando's five-for, his first in Tests

RTM Mendis to Mosaddek Hossain, OUT, they all go up, the finger goes up! Mosaddek reviews this. It was a length ball on middle and leg, Mosaddek tried to help it along behind square but missed, and it struck him seemingly in front. There's no bat involved and it's hitting leg. Bangladesh lose their last recognised batter. First wicket of the match for a Sri Lanka spinner
