8.18pm Whose camp would you want to be after 20 overs? Sri Lanka have posted 168 for 7, but it could have been so much more, if not for Mustafizur Rahman's 3 for 20. But, it could have been so much less, had Dasun Shanaka not smashed six sixes and three fours in his unbeaten 64 off 37. Sri Lanka started well, with Nissanka and Kusal adding 44 in five overs. Sri Lanka lost their way in the middle, but Shanaka got them back. For Bangladesh, Mahedi Hasan also did his job, finishing with 2 for 25 in four overs. Will 168 be enough? Join us in a bit to find out.

Mustafizur Rahman to Hasaranga, OUT, Fizz ends with 3 for 20 and that's a solid spell of fast bowling from him. Slower offcutter at 122.4kph on off. Was right in Hasaranga's slot and it seemed to be a decent connection when he hit it. But he doesn't find enough power to get it past long-off who takes it on the second attempt

Mustafizur Rahman to Asalanka, 1 run, OUT, A third drop catch in three overs. Think it is Hridoy again. But hang on, Asalanka is run out. Yep, he is. Banged in short well outside off off, he pulls, doesn't get it cleanly and Hridoy running in from deep midwicket can't hang on. But he's fired a flat throw and Asalanka is short of his crease despite the dive.
