- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR23.2 Big appeal and it's given! Shoriful gets past the inside edge and has trapped him in front. This is a length ball outside off angling in and staying lower than Nissanka expected. He is late to get his bat down and it hits him on the knee roll of the back leg. Umpire's call on impact and the ball's crashing into the stumps. Shoriful could have had Mendis twice in the last over, but makes up for it by getting Nissanka now 108/25.3 But Hasan has responded with an absolute jaffa! That's the kind of ball batters have nightmares about. This was back of a length pitching on leg, and then seaming and swinging away. Squares up the left-hander who can do nothing but look to defend this, and it feathers the edge through to Mushfiqur 34/125.5 Bangladesh have grabbed the big one! Mendis throws it away! This was a bouncer outside off, Mendis looks to ramp this over third man, but only finds the man 117/349.6 Samarawickrama holes out in the deep. This was a slower ball on a length around off and Samarawickrama went to hoick it over midwicket but he is deceived by the lack of pace and ends up picking out the fielder. Amazing knock though, pushing Sri Lanka to a fighting total here 257/931.5 Taskin gets a deserved wicket for his efforts! This was in the slot outside off, angling away, but it's the slower one as Taskin rolls his fingers over this. Asalanka looks to whack this over mid-on but ends up slicing it straight up. Mid-on runs to his right and takes a good catch on the slide 144/437.1 Uh oh! That's a poor shot and DDS has to go! It's a wobble seam delivery just short of good length and it jags away slightly after pitching. De Silva tries to play a late cut but gets an outside edge and that's one of the simpler catches that Mushfiqur Rahim has taken in his career 164/546.4 Tries to be cheeky and pays the price. It's full outside off, with just a hint of inward movement. Shanaka was across the stumps to try and paddle/scoop that but can only get an inside edge that deflects the ball onto the stumps. Shanaka's indifferent run continues 224/648.3 A lot happening! Hasan Mahmud first appeals for lbw and then has the presence of mind to run across the pitch and sidefoot the ball onto the stumps at the striker's end. I think Wellalage is a goner. And yes! That's some neat football skills from Hasan Mahmud! Samarawickrama was trying scoop a full delivery and misses it with the ball dropping next to him. They took a late call for the single but Hasan was too quick for Wellalage. He got to the ball well ahead of him and then kicked it onto the stumps 243/749.1 And Theekshana has to go. Goes short on off, Theekshana plays at it wildly, just trying to fend it away with his eyes off the ball. It balloons up off his glove and Mushfiqur takes a dolly. Sri Lanka will hope Theekshana hasn't hurt his hand there though 246/8Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL257/9 (50 Overs, RR: 5.14)Did not bat: M PathiranaFall of wickets: 1-34 (Dimuth Karunaratne, 5.3 ov), 2-108 (Pathum Nissanka, 23.2 ov), 3-117 (Kusal Mendis, 25.5 ov), 4-144 (Charith Asalanka, 31.5 ov), 5-164 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 37.1 ov), 6-224 (Dasun Shanaka, 46.4 ov), 7-243 (Dunith Wellalage, 48.3 ov), 8-246 (Maheesh Theekshana, 49.1 ov), 9-257 (Sadeera Samarawickrama, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.4 And his pained stay comes to an end! The skipper has another! This was another short one, 129kph, Naim thinks about the hook and tries to pull out late. Ends up with a nothing stroke that ends in a top edge that goes straight up in the air for the keeper to complete a simple take 60/211.1 And Mehidy throws it away! A soft dismissal for a man who looked in form. This was short of a length, but Mehidy is early on the pull. Chips straight to a catching midwicket, who takes a small leap and takes it over head 55/118.5 Litton has edged behind! It's tossed up outside off and spinning away, Litton goes low and looks for an expansive drive but manages a thin inside edge that bounces off Mendis' knees. Mendis manages to grab on and Litton has to go 83/415.4 Edged? Shakib slashes at this length ball going across him and the players go up in appeal. Sri Lanka immediately review after the umpire doesn't budge. There did seem to be a sound. And there's a spike on Ultraedge so Shakib has to go! Pathirana with a huuuuge breakthrough for Sri Lanka! 70/337.2 Shanaka gets the breakthrough again! It's a length ball around off, with a hint of away swing. Mushfiqur comes down the track and looks to go inside out but just manages a toe end and ends up chipping it to mid-off's right for a simple catch. The skipper and the birthday boy has his third wicket of the day! 155/543.2 What a comeback by Theekshana! He has trapped him in front! This is another carrom ball that pitches on a length on middle, but this goes on straight with the angle and beats the inside edge as Hridoy looks to work this away. Ultraedge confirms there was no bat on this. And it's umpire's call on wickets, with the ball shown to be clipping leg stump! Hridoy's fantastic, fighting knock has come to an end and it's Theekshana dealing the late damage for Sri Lanka tonight! 197/741.3 Raps him in front and the finger goes up! Shamim reviews. That's a carrom ball that pitches on a length on middle and straightens past Shamim's attempted flick. Hits him just below the front knee-roll. No bat confirms Ultraedge. And that is crashing into middle stump! Theekshana has been expensive today, but has provided his team with a very crucial breakthrough! 181/648.1 Pathirana wraps things up with another yorker! Thirteen wins in a row, the second-longest streak in men's ODIs. History made and in style. Fitting that it's Pathirana who wraps things up. He has bowled with a lot of fire today! He was fast, accurate and scary. This is full and straight on middle. Nasum was looking to back away and hit this over cover but can't get close 236/1043.6 Theekshana has another! Or so the umpire thinks! Angles it in from outside off and Taskin misses his slog. That's three reds and Theekshana has his third! That showed impact in front of off and the ball crashing into middle 200/846.1 Cleans him up! Pathirana has been nailing the yorkers all day long and this time it's bang on target. It's angled in from wide of the crease from around the wicket. Shoriful is looking to go inside out but only gets an outside edge onto the stumps leaving Sri Lanka one wicket away from a famous victory 216/9Extras20 (lb 8, nb 4, w 8)TOTAL236 all out (48.1 Overs, RR: 4.89)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 11.1 ov), 2-60 (Mohammad Naim, 13.4 ov), 3-70 (Shakib Al Hasan, 15.4 ov), 4-83 (Litton Das, 18.5 ov), 5-155 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 37.2 ov), 6-181 (Shamim Hossain, 41.3 ov), 7-197 (Towhid Hridoy, 43.2 ov), 8-200 (Taskin Ahmed, 43.6 ov), 9-216 (Shoriful Islam, 46.1 ov), 10-236 (Nasum Ahmed, 48.1 ov)
