He's been good at cleaning up opposition tails has Asitha, and he's picked up innings-best figures of 4 for 34, outshining even Vishwa Fernando who bowled to outstanding induckers to dismiss the overnight batters. Vishwa finishes with 2 for 38, Kumara gets 2 for 19, and Prabath Jayasuriya finishes with 2 for 65.

Bangladesh will be extremely disappointed to get out for such a low score on what is not a terribly challenging surface. Only Zakir Hasan got to a half century for them, and even he was out for 54. There were no fifty-run stands. Sri Lanka bowled well, but this was nevertheless a mistake-riddled innings.

Shashwat will be back with the next innings. No word yet on whether Sri Lanka will enforce the follow on.

AM Fernando to Khaled Ahmed, OUT, doesn't keep this one out. For the fourth time this innings, a stump is lying flat on the ground. There's a bit of reverse swing there at 137kph, and it curves into the base of middle stump, and Khaled's bat comes down too late. Sri Lanka have wrapped this up smartly.

AM Fernando to Mominul Haque, OUT, big lbw shout and given! The question is whether this yorker was sliding past leg. It looked marginal, and Mominul - unsurprisingly - reviews. This is speared in from around the wicket by the right-arm seamer bowling to the left-handed batter. Mominul tries to clip it through midwicket, but misses, and is struck in front of middle. Ball projection shows it is going on to shave leg stump, so the batter has to go. Asitha gets a lot of wickets with the yorker.
