- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.1 caught at point! First blow by Bangladesh! It was a short delivery outside off and KJ went for a cut, but the ball bounced a touch extra on him and he got a thick outside edge that was going over point, but Nasir times his jump to perfect and plucks it out.. 116/146.2 caught at midwicket! he bowls a length delivery, slightly slower, on the middle stump line. Dilshan flogs him towards midwicket, or so it seems, but Nasir was at the edge of the circle and times his jump to catch a very-hard hit shot. Excellent innings by Dilshan comes to an end 263/735.5 caught at midwicket!, this time it's a good low catch that does Sanga..He came down the track to a flighted delivery, and got too close to the pitch of the ball, he cracks it hard and low towards midwicket where Anamul completes a neat catch 203/237.6 goes for the big shot but plays across the line to a slow delivery, the batsman misses it completely and loses his middle stump. He was aiming for the deep midwicket boundary but was completely beaten by the length and pace in that delivery 212/341.1 another one for Razzak! Angelo has had enough, he comes down the pitch and tries to hoick it over long-on, but gets beaten in the flight completely. The ball drift in a bit and squeezes in through the gap between bat and pad, the keeper does the rest. Easily done 228/442.2 another one goes down, beautifully bowled by Gazi! He flights it on off stump and the ball keeps coming with the angle from round the wicket, the batsman tries to defend it to the off side, but it sneaks between the gap between the bat and pad and hits the off stump 233/543.4 and that break has earned Bangladesh another wicket, this time it is Chandimal who plays a loose shot without moving his feet to a length ball outside off, he chops it on back to his stumps 238/649.1 bowls the arm ball which Kula tries to work to the leg side, he plays across the line and gets hit right in front. An easy decision for the umpire. Wicket no. 199 for Razzak 291/849.2 and he strikes straightaway, that is wicket no. 200 and that is is five-for too. This was full and quick on the leg stump, the batsman plays a hoick across the line and loses his leg stump 291/9Extras17 (lb 2, nb 1, w 14)TOTAL302/9 (50 Overs, RR: 6.04)Fall of wickets: 1-116 (Kusal Perera, 21.1 ov), 2-203 (Kumar Sangakkara, 35.5 ov), 3-212 (Thisara Perera, 37.6 ov), 4-228 (Angelo Mathews, 41.1 ov), 5-233 (Jeevan Mendis, 42.2 ov), 6-238 (Dinesh Chandimal, 43.4 ov), 7-263 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 46.2 ov), 8-291 (Nuwan Kulasekara, 49.1 ov), 9-291 (Sachithra Senanayake, 49.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.3 caught by cover! Why why why! He again charges out and tries to go inside out over extra cover but ends up hitting it high in the air. Three fielder on the off side converge - two from cover and one from the deep, but it's the fielder from cover who was running outwards who takes an excellent catch with the ball coming from behind him 97/212.5 he has got the batsman with a quicker one. Ash went to the back foot when he should have been forward. The ball pitches around off stump and just turns in to beat the bat and hits Ash right in front. But was there an inside edge? It looks like it from the front-angle, but not very easy to tell. Ash certainly thinks so. But it looked plumb to the naked eye 77/117.6 gone! caught behind! Some sense needed here! He has already had a good over and he charges out to play what?? It was a back of length delivery wide outside off, Jahurul tries to punch it through off, gets a big outside edge straight into the hands off the keeper 119/319.2 gone! madness! Stupidity! Suicide! The batsman drops the ball right in front towards the bowler and they call for a single. It's in the hands of the bowler when Mush is parallel to him trying to get to the other end. He could have taken an aim for 10 seconds and done the job, but Thisara hits it in one go. Gone by miles 126/421.4 goes! Reverse sweep! Why Mahmudullah Why! It was a straight delivery, pitches in line, hits him in line as the batsman misses his super cute shot! 144/524.4 gone! it was a brute of a delivery, short of length keeps rising on the batsman and just moves a touch away too, the batsman tries to fend it off but gets a faint edge to the keeper, the fielder erupt. 166/624.6 caught at extra cover! The procession continues. It was bowled quick on short of length right over the stumps, Zia moved outside leg stump and tries to slap it over extra cover, but the ball comes too quickly to him and he ends up giving a tame catch which the fielder takes diving forward 166/7Extras26 (b 4, lb 13, w 9)TOTAL184/7 (26 Overs, RR: 7.07)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Mohammad Ashraful, 12.5 ov), 2-97 (Anamul Haque, 15.3 ov), 3-119 (Jahurul Islam, 17.6 ov), 4-126 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 19.2 ov), 5-144 (Mahmudullah, 21.4 ov), 6-166 (Mominul Haque, 24.4 ov), 7-166 (Ziaur Rahman, 24.6 ov)
