5.55pm While we wait for the restart, which is expected to be at 6.10pm local, here's something that fans of Bangladesh cricket may enjoy - the latest #AskSteven column on the site has a question: Is Khokhan Sen the only player who was born in what is now Bangladesh who played Test cricket for another country? Click here to find out.

5.45pm A similar show from Bangladesh in which one of the seniors steps up after a wobble. Chameera wrecked them early with the twin wickets of Tamim and Shakib in the second over before Mushfiqur anchored the innings, especially with Mahmudullah. They were just 161 and had nearly 17 overs to go once Mahmudullah fell, before Mushfiqur showed all the experience he has to chaperone the lower order on his way to his eighth ODI century and power them to nearly 250. Rain also showed up with a cyclone hovering in the Bay of Bengal, and we'll see if the pitch turns more in the chase or will still have something for the quicks with a moist pitch and the humidity around. Sreshth will start off the chase, see you in a bit.

Sean: "Looks like it's below par but Mustafiz might be dangerous in these conditions, still think SL's match to lose for now."

Prashant Dhakal: "That unused 11 balls will surely hunt Bangladesh. Its Sri Lanka's game won."

Robert: "Rishabh Pant: The man to start of the culture of sweeping fast bowlers" He's been reverse-sweeping them actually. Was Kevin Pietersen the first to sweep the fast bowlers?

Chameera to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT, straight to point and that's the end of Mushfiqur's fighting knock and Bangladesh's innings. Short outside off, and Mushfiqur made a bit of room and slapped it straight to Bandara

Udana to Mustafizur Rahman, no run, bouncer to end the over, he sways out of the line this time and lets it go. Wonder why Udana didn't bowl something to let the batter play at the ball, Mushfiqur gets strike now

DaWolf: "Questionable decision to take the single from Mushfiqur there. Better to just hog the strike as much as possible from here on. Assuming he gets another ball to face...."

Udana to Mustafizur Rahman, no run, another short ball hits the helmet! Short one angling in, the batter ducks a bit and wants to move his face away from the patch of the ball and even takes his eyes off it, and the ball follows him to hit the grille of the helmet. And the back of the helmet drops off after the impact

Can Mustafizur survive two balls here?

Udana to Shoriful Islam, OUT, a lonely appeal from the captain behind the stumps for caught behind and Shoriful gets a first-ball duck on debut! Udana pounded in a short ball, Shoriful backs away and tries to poke, and only manages a feather of the top of bat to the keeper

Udana to Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 run, slower ball angling in and it's flicked to the leg side for one. An appeal at the keeper's end but the third umpire checks he made it

Udana to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, eyes the big gap towards square leg now and he tries a similar shot with a bit of adjustment, goes down on a knee again but goes much squarer and smashes it through the air for four more

Udana to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, Mushfiqur knows fine leg is inside, he goes across and lofts that with a paddle sweep/loft over fine leg and gets four

Three overs to go, two left for Udana and one for Chameera. Udana is here with a short fine leg

Chameera to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, too full on off and a well-set Mushfiqur absolutely middles that and finds the gap in the covers with a lovely cover drive. Caressed it all along the ground

Chameera to Mohammad Saifuddin, OUT, 137.4kmh, that's a direct hit this time and Saifuddin is gone! They have to go to the third umpire to confirm, and it is confirmed that even a diving Saifuddin couldn't make it. Nasty short ball from Chameera that pinged Saifuddin on the helmet as he missed the hook, and the ball deflected away to the off side. They tried to sneak in a single but couldn't. Saifuddin takes his helmet off and will probably get some medical attention in the dressing room

Mohammad Saifuddin run out 11 (42m 30b 0x4 0x6) SR: 36.66

Around the wicket to Saifuddin
