Charith Asalanka: "Always a good feeling to hit a hundred. Very happy now. My point is that Mathews' dismissal was not good for the spirit of cricket. I love to have a partnership with Dhananjaya because he's a right-hander, and I'm a left-hander. I was looking at 300, but I think it's good enough."

Ferdous: "Asalanka's ton shows how good the pitch is to bat on"

Ryan: "Is this a good score?" --- I'd think they are short, but they'll back the in-form Madushanka - and others - to deliver against a line-up which has been far below its best

5.46pm Sri Lanka will feel they missed out on 30-40 runs. Only Asalanka went on to make a big contribution with 108, as all three of Nissanka (41), Sadeera (41) and Dhananjaya (22) gave away starts. But spare a thought for Asalanka, because all the limelight is inevitably taken away by Mathews' once-in-cricket's-lifetime dismissal. Moving on, Sri Lanka are still mathematically in the race for the semi-final this World Cup, while Bangladesh look to get on track for Champions Trophy qualification. Join Madushka for the chase soon.
