- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.5 And NIssanka throws it away! This was fuller angled away from off, Nissanka looks to drive at it hard but ends up slicing it straight up towards the man at cover. There might have been some pace taken off on this one as well. Nissanka is livid with himself, Bangladesh are thrilled 70/32.3 And now Mendis is gone! This one was not quite as short, just back of a length as it catches Mendis in two minds over whether to come forward or stay back. Ends up just poking at this outside off and chops on to the stumps 21/15.1 And he strikes straight away! This was slightly full on off and Kamindu goes for the drive, but he doesn't get all off it. Ends up chipping an easy catch straight to mid-off 48/216.1 What a ripper! Beautiful legbreak, drawing the batter forward. On a length around middle, the ball spins away sharply as DDS gets forward looking to slog. Litton is on the money behind the stumps and de Silva's back foot is outside the crease. And an odd innings from de Silva comes to an end and it's thanks to that man Rishad again! 109/614.1 And he gets a breakthrough! Asalanka goes for the big slog sweep, but it's the longer boundary and he's picked out Shakib at deep backward square. Shakib nearly spills it as the ball bobbles up after his first grab, but he is quick to grab it right back. This was tossed full outside off and Asalanka got it off the toe end 100/414.2 Is that two-in-two for the leggie? The umpire thinks so and Hasaranga is walking back with a golden duck! This is full around leg, Hasaranga looks to tuck it leg side and closes the face. The ball takes the edge and pops to the slip fielder who makes no mistake 100/519.5 Sliced to short third and Tanzim Hasan Shakib gets his first World Cup wicket. On a full length outside off, Mathews looks to heave it leg side. Gets a top edge and Bangladesh's mostly excellent fielding today continues 123/917.6 The pressure tells. Follows up two slower balls with a quicker one dug in short outside off. Shanaka was late on the cut this time and gets a thick edge. Litton with a regulation take and that's the seventh wicket gone for Sri Lanka 115/718.5 Theekshana swings for the hills, loses his shape and loses his wicket. Length ball angled across Theekshana who was looking to go big on the leg side. Gets a top edge and Tanzim does well coming in from deep third to take that 117/8Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL124/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.2)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Kusal Mendis, 2.3 ov), 2-48 (Kamindu Mendis, 5.1 ov), 3-70 (Pathum Nissanka, 8.5 ov), 4-100 (Charith Asalanka, 14.1 ov), 5-100 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 14.2 ov), 6-109 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 16.1 ov), 7-115 (Dasun Shanaka, 17.6 ov), 8-117 (Maheesh Theekshana, 18.5 ov), 9-123 (Angelo Mathews, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Deja vu for Bangladesh as Thushara strikes! This was full and swinging in late, comes back from outside off to clatter into the base of off stump! Tanzin looks for the drive but is beaten all ends up. Sri Lanka can see a hint of light through the door 6/20.3 Perfect start for Sri Lanka! Soumya goes back and looks to work this onside. But he goes hard at this and ends up top edging a simple catch to Hasaranga at mid-on, who pops off in his celebration 1/114.1 Is there room for more twists here? Hasaranga traps Litton in front. The finger goes up but Bangladesh review. This is tossed up on off and goes on with the angle, and past Litton's inside edge. Hits him on the back thigh. And that's hitting the top of middle stump. Litton has played an important knock here, but he will not be able to take Bangladesh over the line today. 99/55.2 Straight to short extra! This was wide and full, inviting the drive. Shanto is standing well out of his crease and reaches for this drive. He gets a good connection but it's straight to Asalanka, who completes a sharp catch 28/311.4 Tossed up around leg, he misses his sweep and is struck in front. Not given and Sri Lanka review. No bat involved and he was struck low on his front pad. This looks plumb. And yes, that's shown to be crashing into middle stump. Hasaranga gets the wicket, but maybe Hridoy has already done enough? 91/416.2 Theekshana takes an excellent catch running to his left from deep third! This is dug in short and across Shakib, who looks to play the ramp. Theekshana not only has to move to his left, but also dive in front and take it low. Not always the safest fielder, he has made sure to grab this one, Theekshana! This match is well and truly on, still! 109/617.3 Through him! Thushara gets his third. Rishad looks to come down the track and misses, and loses his stumps! Thushare goes full length around middle, not quite in the slot, and Rishad was looking to back away and hit it over cover. But he is cleaned up, and Sri Lanka smell an opening! 113/717.4 Huge appeal as a very full delivery hits Taskin on the foot. Or did he get bat on that? Not given out, but Sri Lanka review. Wait, that's hit Taskin full on the toe. Brilliant yorker. Pitching on leg and that's hitting the stumps! Sri Lanka have two in two, and suddenly, this game has turned on its head! 113/8Extras13 (lb 1, w 12)TOTAL125/8 (19 Overs, RR: 6.57)Did not bat: Mustafizur RahmanFall of wickets: 1-1 (Soumya Sarkar, 0.3 ov), 2-6 (Tanzid Hasan, 1.4 ov), 3-28 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 5.2 ov), 4-91 (Towhid Hridoy, 11.4 ov), 5-99 (Litton Das, 14.1 ov), 6-109 (Shakib Al Hasan, 16.2 ov), 7-113 (Rishad Hossain, 17.3 ov), 8-113 (Taskin Ahmed, 17.4 ov)
