- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.6 Regulation catch and Tharindu Rathnayake gets his maiden Test wicket. Beauts of a delivery. Starts around off, draws the batter forward, drifts in, dips and spins away just enough to take the outside edge. Shadman leans forward to push at it with hard hands and edges it to slip, where Dhananjaya makes no mistake this time 39/24.3 Edged and gone! Quality seam bowling from Asitha. He brought one back into Anamul from a similar position in the last over, and that is what has caused the overcorrection here. Anamul steps forward, getting that front pad outside the line off, looking to defend. But the shape away has caught the edge, and Kusal takes a sharp grab behind the stumps 5/116.1 Superb catch from Dhananjaya and the set Mominul is out of here. Two wickets in two balls for Tharindu. Lands it on a fullish length outside off, not sure if it was there for the cut. Mominul goes back and goes hard at it and this time Dhananjaya does not miss. It was much like the one he had dropped a few overs ago but this time he takes it with a tumble to his left. The TV umpire takes multiple looks at it to check if he has taken it cleanly and the Sri Lanka captain has done well 45/396.1 This time there's no doubt as Asitha does indeed get the breakthrough! Shanto falls two runs short of his 150, looking to drive a very full delivery outside off, but one that just sticks in the surface. Shanto ends up chipping to mid-off, and who else but Angelo Mathews is there to spring forward and hold on to a good low grab 309/4140.2 Has Asitha got him this time? Yes he has! The finger goes up once more, and once more it's reviewed. This was full straight, angling in and it seems to be a tired stroke from Mushfiqur who simply played down the wrong line. It's struck him on the front pad on middle and leg, but there's is quite a big angle at play. But replays show that it's umpire's call on the wickets, and Sri Lanka finally have their man. Mushfiqur goes for an outstanding 163, warm applause as he walks off. 458/5141.4 And Sri Lanka have another! And it's the big scalp of Litton! So whether you agree with it or not, the leg side line has worked. Litton looks to reverse this and has just looped up off the band of his glove on his forearm. Kusal moves around quickly and completes the catch 458/6146.6 Cleaned up! Lovely little spell of seam bowling this for Sri Lanka, and Milan gets on the board with an inswinger at 123kph. Lands it fullish around off, Jaker gets forward to defend but it sneaks through bat and pad - perhaps brushed the back pad - and made a mess of the stumps. A thick inside edge saved him once earlier in the over but not this time 474/7150.1 Edged and goneee! Milan is making the ball talk after rain. swings away from a length outside off, 123kph, brings about an uncertain poke from Nayeem, who only gets an outside edge to it. Kusal dives to his right and pouches it safely 484/9148.4 Castled! Once again Milan angles it in from around the stumps, Taijul plays down the wrong line and sees his off stump pegged back 483/8153.4 But Asitha needs just the one! Not the best ball Asitha will bowl, but he'll take it. Dug in short, going down leg. But Rana looks to fend it away and has just managed to feather a glove through. Kusal takes it low to his left.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR85.3 Castled! Nissanka cannot believe it. That is what fate has in store for him He will be kept waiting for a maiden double hundred in Test cricket. The second new ball does the trick for Bangladesh. Mahmud goes wide of the crease and angles it in, Nissanka looks to push-drive it straight back but is beaten on the inside - perhaps brushes the back pad as well - and he hears the death-rattle. Uff! What an innings. Unfortunate not to go on for long. Sri Lanka still 164 behind 331/412.1 Taijul gets the breakthrough! And is he pumped! Udara cannot believe it. Softest of dismissals, this is tossed up on middle and leg, and Udara looks to work it onside but has just closed the face a little too early. Leading edge pops straight back to Taijul. Big scalp against the run of play 47/151.5 Soft dismissal and there's the breakthrough! Chandimal cannot believe it and the umpires want to have another look. Quicker ball landing outside leg, spins in just a touch. Chandimal comes forward and turns it across and it goes low to leg slip, where Shadman makes no mistake. A wicket out of nowhere and that ends the 157-run partnership 204/274.4 Mominul has got the breakthrough! The ultra-slow has worked. Given air on a good length, pitches and straightens sharply. Angelo comes forward to defend, but this has bounced and caught the edge through to Litton. Angelo walks off to a round of applause. Is this the last we will be seeing him bat? If so, it's been a pleasure. 293/3127.1 An absolute beauty gets rid of Kamindu! What a delivery! This one drifted in from around the wicket, pitched on middle and off, drew him and the turn and bounce took it away, flicking the edge on the way. Litton gets his third catch of the morning 470/895.6 And there's the breakthrough! Out of nothing! Another one that spun sharply, down leg. But DDS has gone back and just feathered this through. Well grabbed by Litton behind the stumps. Ideal start for Bangladesh this morning 377/5100.6 And another one falls down leg! But Bangladesh won't mind one bit! This is all Litton though. Just a nothing delivery down leg, and Kusal looks to whip this away fine. Gets a good chunk of bat on it, but Litton has it all to do as he springs to his left and holds on brilliantly with his left glove. Outstanding work, and Bangladesh are hitting back on this fourth morning 386/6126.3 Chops on! Not a particularly great delivery, but it gets the job done. Short of a length, outside off, but it keeps lower than Milan expects. Looks to pull this away, but only ends up dragging it on to the base of the stumps 470/7127.6 Nothing saving him here! Right through his defences! This was quicker and flatter on a good length, and Nayeem has caught Tharindu on the crease. Grazes the back pad and clips the top of off. Sri Lanka are folding fast here. Still 24 runs behind 471/9131.2 And that's a wrap! Asitha misses the reverse sweep and Nayeem as spun this into the stumps. Nayeem has five-for, and he is elated! Deserved pats on the back from his teammates, and he takes the match ball as the players walk off.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR44.1 massive lbw shout, and that looks absolutely plumb! Back of a length delivery that pitches outside off and decks back in sharply. Shadman is caught on the crease and is completely taken by surprise. He is excessively late on the stroke and the ball smashes into his back pad, long before the bat comes down. Rod Tucker has a long, hard look at it and then raises his finger. Shadman does not bother with the review, and Bangladesh lose their set better! 128/37.5 nicked and gone! The Galle-dozer has his first of the Test, and Anamul's woes have finally been cut short! This is tossed up nicely, albeit on a back of a length outside off. It drops on Anamul and then grips in the surface. Jumps up, while also spinning away and all Anamul can do is poke at it away from his body. A feather of a nick and a sharp take by Kusal behind the stumps. SL have their first, and this could be the window of opportunity they were after! 24/119.6 Sri Lanka celebrate, and Mominul cannot believe what he has done! Floated up nicely on a fullish length just outside off. Mominul looks for the sweep but makes a complete mess of it. Top-edges it onto his helmet and the ball pops up. Udara, stood at short point with a helmet on himself, cannot fathom his luck and gobbles up the chance to send Sri Lanka into raptures. A vital wicket on the stroke of tea, and Mominul continues shaking his head as he walks off! 60/275.6 has Mushfiqur run himself out?! Very full on the stumps. Mushfiqur digs it out towards mid on and charges across for the single. Tharindu picks it up, takes aim and throws down the stumps at the bowler's end. Mushfiqur had to stretch and oh my, replays indicate that he may be in trouble here. This is incredibly tough to call. When the ball makes contact with the stumps, Mushfiqur is just short, and the third umpire decides that when the bail comes off the groove, Mushfiqur's bat has only made it to the line. Matter of margins, and Mushfiqur, hunting a half-century, departs for 49! 237/476.6 Litton taken out by an absolute ripper! Tossed up outside leg, but this time it lands on the rough. Litton looks to defend but doesn't get to the pitch, and this has ripped across him to clatter into the top of the stumps 241/578.6 Stumped and gone! Jaker made room very early down leg, but Tharindu follows him. And Jaker is left all at sea trying to play this. Loses his balance and trips forward, and Kusal does quick work to take off the bails. 249/6Extras5 (b 4, lb 1)TOTAL285/6d (87 Overs, RR: 3.27)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Anamul Haque, 7.5 ov), 2-60 (Mominul Haque, 19.6 ov), 3-128 (Shadman Islam, 44.1 ov), 4-237 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 75.6 ov), 5-241 (Litton Das, 76.6 ov), 6-249 (Jaker Ali, 78.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 Nissanka bites the dust too - oh my! Bowled slower on a back of a length on the stumps and this sticks in the surface. Nissanka wants to knock this down the ground for an easy single but the lack of pace off the pitch means he chips it rather tamely towards short mid wicket. Gobbled up with glee, and Bangladesh have two wickets out of nowhere and in quick succession! 34/25.6 oh dear - Udara has run past one, and Taijul has the debutant twice in the same Test! This is fired in on a back of a length on off stump, perhaps after seeing the batter advance. The ball grips and turns, and that takes it past Udara's pat as he hurriedly tries to make contact. Easy stumping for Litton, and Sri Lanka's opening stand has been snapped at 32! 32/123.1 cleans him up with a ripper! Now then. Now then! Fizzed through on a length on middle stump. Drifts in before gripping in the surface and ragging away. Chandimal, not to the pitch of the ball, plays for the one coming in and is beaten all ends up as the ball whistles past the shoulder of the bat and crashes into the stumps. Chandimal's vigil ends, and Bangladesh are not giving up the ghost just yet! 48/419.5 Brilliant take at silly point! Mathews walks off for the last time. This was slid on with the arm, took the inside edge on to the front pad and this popped up low to silly point's right, who takes this excellently with one hand 47/3Extras1 (lb 1)TOTAL72/4 (32 Overs, RR: 2.25)Fall of wickets: 1-32 (Lahiru Udara, 5.6 ov), 2-34 (Pathum Nissanka, 6.2 ov), 3-47 (Angelo Mathews, 19.5 ov), 4-48 (Dinesh Chandimal, 23.1 ov)
