The Sri Lanka change room is in disbelief. The Bangladesh fielders converge to congratulate Mathews, but he will be hurting. Amazing how one run makes so much difference. Sri Lanka have been bowled out for 397. That is a good score but the surface is still playing it well. Sampath informs us that this is the 12th time in Test cricket that a batter has been dismissed on 199. Here's the full list .

Nayeem Hasan was the star of the show for Bangladesh, as he picked his best-ever figures in Test cricket. Shakib and Taijul also played their part, while the seamers were largely disappointing. For Sri Lanka, Vishwa Fernando gave excellent support to Mathews. He survived a bouncer, had to retire out, but came out to bat after the ninth wicket fell. Chandimal scored a half-century as well. Around 25 overs left in the day. Can Bangladesh openers survive?

Nayeem Hasan to Mathews, OUT, Oh, heartbreak for Mathews. He is out on 199. He looks to slog it over the on side, does not get anywhere near the pitch of it and ends up spooning a simple catch to square leg, where Shakib completes the catch. Six wickets for Nayeem, who has bowled his heart out. 6 for 105, his best figures in Test cricket.

AD Mathews c Shakib Al Hasan b Nayeem Hasan 199 (568m 397b 19x4 1x6) SR: 50.12

On 199, is Mathews. Point comes in, mid-on comes up, so does long-on
