- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.4 and he picks up the wicket, Emon does not pick up the googly, tossed up slower and knocks the off stump as he pushed forward. 110/32.3 deceived by the slower ball, the knuckleball angling across. Tanzid looks to smash the cover off the ball, but the attempted slap meets nothing less than a feather on the ball as Kusal Mendis dives forward to complete a good, low catch. 10/111.3 has holed out to wide long-on! This was nothing but a long hop. Shanto rocked back to open up the leg side but ended up hitting it flat to the lone fielder. Easy catch. Shanto can't believe what he's just done. 73/240.2 uses his feet and works through the onside past the vacant midwicket, the fielder running in from the deep does well to prevent the second, Towhid wanted the second and he got a positive call from Tanzim, but then half way through, says no and sends him back, but it is too late, the throw comes to the bowler, who gets rid of the stumps to run out Towhid, who in his anger throws his bat down and he is furious. 212/722.4 baits him with a bouncer, Mehidy Miraz goes after it and mistimes it high in the air to deep backward square leg and taken by the fielder, Nissanka. 126/428.5 he has picked out fine leg! What a terrible way to go. Shamim was looking in sparkling form. Looks to take on the short ball, except this was superbly directed on leg-stump. It meant Shamim had to get that much inside to try and help the ball along, and that extra effort had him slightly overbalanced. The ball flies straight down the throat of the fielder. 159/538.6 Jaker plays all around this and is struck plumb in front. He reviews, but it's more optimism than hope. Asitha was so convinced he only belatedly turned back to ask the umpire This is a length delivery that nips back in to beat the inside edge. Would hit middle of middle. 204/640.5 digs in a short delivery and too quick for Hasan Mahmud, who goes for the pull and top edges to short square leg, Madushka calls it and takes the catch. 213/841.5 stays in the crease and misses the leg break, strikes the pad in line, the batter checks with the non-striker and reviews it. No bat involved, ball tracking shows hitting the top of the stumps, it is umpires call and he is out. 218/945.5 spins from outside the off stump and strikes the pad in line with the off stump, loud appeal turned down, .Sri Lanka review it. Impact is in line and hitting the wickets. Hasaranga strikes. 248/10Extras17 (b 8, lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL248 all out (45.5 Overs, RR: 5.41)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Tanzid Hasan, 2.3 ov), 2-73 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 11.3 ov), 3-110 (Parvez Hossain Emon, 19.4 ov), 4-126 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 22.4 ov), 5-159 (Shamim Hossain, 28.5 ov), 6-204 (Jaker Ali, 38.6 ov), 7-212 (Towhid Hridoy, 40.2 ov), 8-213 (Hasan Mahmud, 40.5 ov), 9-218 (Tanvir Islam, 41.5 ov), 10-248 (Mustafizur Rahman, 45.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 deceived in flight and turn, Madushka looks to go inside out over cover, and ends up slicing it to point. That's a wicket well-earned, but after these two have put on a stand that puts Sri Lanka well on the road to victory. 75/21.6 lovely delivery angled into Nissanka, appeal for lbw and given, Nissanka checks with the non-striker and takes the review. No bat involved, hitting the wicket is umpires call, Nissanka has to go. 6/111.5 steps out and looks to whip it against the turn but misses. It's a massive, massive appeal that's given not out on field. Bangladesh opt to review. It seems to be as if he was a long, long way forward. There's no bat for sure, and ball tracking confirms this would've gone on to hit. Tanvir takes off on a celebratory run. 82/325.2 and he strikes, spins in and looks like the ball stopped on him, chips it in the air to the short midwicket fielder, Miraz takes the catch. 126/518.4 a tad short outside the off stump and Asalanka looking to force it away, miscues in the air to mid-on and taken by Tanvir Islam. Bangladesh players excited with the breakthrough. 99/447.2 and the Fizz strikes, it was short of a length and slower, Liyanage looking to flick it away off his hips, the ball lobs up back to the bowler, who gobbles it up. 228/929.4 Tanvir strikes again! uses his feet and looks to block it, gets an edge onto the pads and lobs up on the onside, the keeper does the rest. 132/635.2 picks out deep midwicket! What have you done, Wanindu? This was dragged from outside off, and he picked out the fielder towards the longest boundary. Bangladesh desperately needed that wicket, things were beginning to slip away from their grasp. Mehidy's first wicket after 5 wicketless matches 156/738.3 chipped straight to short midwicket! One of the softest dismissals you will see. Tanvir bows down to the almighty. It's a five-for to savour for Tanvir, which he'll hope is match-winning. Nicely tossed it up on the stumps, got this to dip and turn, Theekshana tried to play against the turn and ended up lobbing it to the fielder. 170/848.5 the off stump goes for a toss, it was full and Chameera goes for a wild swing and misses it. 232/10Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL232 all out (48.5 Overs, RR: 4.75)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Pathum Nissanka, 1.6 ov), 2-75 (Nishan Madushka, 9.3 ov), 3-82 (Kusal Mendis, 11.5 ov), 4-99 (Charith Asalanka, 18.4 ov), 5-126 (Kamindu Mendis, 25.2 ov), 6-132 (Dunith Wellalage, 29.4 ov), 7-156 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 35.2 ov), 8-170 (Maheesh Theekshana, 38.3 ov), 9-228 (Janith Liyanage, 47.2 ov), 10-232 (Dushmantha Chameera, 48.5 ov)
