    0.3 And, he's gone! A second-successive duck for Litton and it is Madushanka who strikes once more. On a length on the pads of Litton. He gets across and works it neatly but can't keep it down. Wellalage at square leg takes a simple catch 0/1
    21.2 Outstanding from in the deep! Needed something special to dismiss Sarkar and Madushanka has delivered! Sarkar takes this length ball and absolutely clobbers this reverse sweep. It looks like it's about to go for a flat six over deep backward point, but Madushanka has other ideas as he sprint to his right and throws himself at the ball to grab this with two hands. Huge pop-off from Hasaranga as well as Sarkar stands in disbelief 130/3
    12.2 But this one does count! And it's Shanto! Good length on off, just nipping away. Shanto is unsure whether to play at this or not and just looks to defend in the end. But there's just enough movement to square him up and grab the outside edge. Mendis takes an excellent take diving to his left 75/2

    21.4 Oh Mahmudullah what have you done?! Hasaranga has two! Charges the legspinner, but this one's the googly and he gets nowhere near the pitch of it. Ends up with a wild slog as the ball slips through bat and pad. Easiest of stumpings for Mendis 130/4
    31.1 Sri Lanka have the big fish! It's a huuuge appeal first up! But the umpire is unmoved. Sri Lanka are almost compelled to review after that appeal. This was tossed up and Mushfiqur misses the sweep. This is the leg break though, so it pitches on leg, in line and straightens, and... it's three reds! Great review 173/5
    35.5 Hasaranga gets his fourth beating Mehidy in the flight. That is really lovely bowling from the legspinner. He sees Mehidy coming down the track, was a pre-meditated move, and shortens the length. Mehidy is beaten all ends up even as he tries to block. The ball clatters into the stumps. 189/6
    46.1 Madushan beats Tanzim for pace and gets his man. Pacy back of a length ball on off stump. He looks to heave it to the on-side, but the ball comes at him much quicker than he anticipates. The bat turns in his hand and the miscue goes as far as mid-off 236/7

    36.4 Nisaanka falls for 114. Is there still an opening for Bangladesh? For once he does not time that slog sweep. Tossed up just outside off, he eyes the deep midwicket boundary, gets it high on the bat which results in the ball going higher than long. Deep midwicket settles under it and takes a simple catch. Nissanka was suffering from cramps and walks off with a limp. 228/4
    0.2 Dream start! Avishka has struggled with left arm seam as of late and so it proves to be his downfall once more. This pitches on a good length on off and keeps going, Avishka stays back and defends but only manages to edge it to first slip, who gets low and pouches this well 1/1
    5.1 And he strikes straight away! This is a back of a length in the channel outside off, Mendis has little foot movement and he looks to defend this away from his body. He decides to bring the bat in, but it's too late as the nick takes it through to Mushfiqur who takes a good low catch 42/2
    6.1 Taken at backward point! This was full and wide, baiting the drive and Sadeera takes it. He opens the face to get it square but he can't keep it down. Mehidy pouches this nicely at backward point 43/3
    37.6 Edged and taken? The umpire is staying unmoved The bowler is not even looking back, he is that confident. Shanto opts for a review. Oh, there is a big edge. Was fuller in length outside off, he looks for a drive, but the change in angle does him in. Ends up getting a thick outside edge to the keeper. Asalanka now falls. That is the 100th wicket for Taskin 235/5
    41.1 Straight, hit on the pad and the umpire's finger is up in a flash. That looked absolutely adjacent but Liyanage has reviewed. Length ball on middle stump, he shuffles across looking to nudge it, and misses. The ball tracker shows that would have thudded into leg stump. Bangladesh are well and truly back into this game. 251/6

    46.5 Looks to finish it off but departs in the process. Was floated on middle stump, but Taijul had also pulled the length back. Hasaranga looks for a repeat of the previous shot but this time only gets a top edge that balloons straight up. Litton runs across from mid-on and takes a simple catch 285/7
