3.45pm Is this a good total or is it not? This one's pretty tricky to answer. Not an easy pitch to bat on, by any means. But I guess the accuracy of our answer - whatever that may be - would depend a lot on how well or badly Sri Lanka bowl. Bangladesh have ample firepower and if they lose less than a couple of wickets in the first 15 overs or so, they should severely boost their chances. But whichever way you look at it, Sri Lanka would have wanted more - at least 250 - especially after that consolidating partnership between Dickwella and Tharanga. That said, their bowlers still have a fair bit to bowl at. Join us back in a bit for the chase.

Rubel Hossain to Chameera, OUT, fullish, curving in, stays away from it and swipes big. Misses and they take off for a bye. The run was always non-existent but this is the last ball of the innings and they make the dash. Anyway, it results in a run out at the striker's end by Rahim and Sri Lanka are all out

Kamruzzaman Rez: "Expected that Shakib will back with no doubt and make history of achieving Tri-Nations Cup for Bangladesh." Well, just hope that this from our correspondent Mohammad Isam doesn't turn out to be true. "Given Dhaka's traffic, Shakib may not be back by the time of the presentation ceremony. Just joking, of course, although not about the traffic."
