Dinusha to Taijul Islam, out Caught by Chandimal!! Taijul Islam is the last man out. A nicely tossed up delivery by Dinusha, Taijul Islam shimmies down the wicket and looks to go big, but he doesn't time it. Miscues it off the cue end towards long-on and Chandimal stationed in the deep completes a safe catch. A handy knock by Taijul Islam comes to an end..Taijul Islam c Chandimal b Dinusha 33(60) [4s-5]

Asitha Fernando to Nahid Rana, no run, review taken by Sri Lanka for a caught behind! The keeper thinks the batsman has gloved/ edged it. But think it brushed the batsman's jersey on its way to the keeper. It has flicked the batsman's glove, but he isn't in contact with the bat. It's off the bat. Was a short ball on leg and it brushed his jersey. The third umpire confirms the same. Sri Lanka lose a review

Tharindu Ratnayake to Taijul Islam, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries. Taijul Islam advances down the wicket and heaves this away to the wide long-on boundary

Tharindu Ratnayake to Taijul Islam, FOUR, Taijul Islam playing a handy knock. He goes down on his knee and reverse sweeps this past the fielder at slip, away to the third man fence in a jiffy

Asitha Fernando to Taijul Islam, 1 run, dropped! This was pitched up by the bowler outside off, Taijul Islam shimmies down the wicket and thumps it towards deep mid-off, however, Kamindu Mendis fails to latch on to the catch. Got his hands to it with a forward dive, but the ball doesn't stick. Fifth catch dropped by the Sri Lankan fielders

Vishwa Fernando to Taijul Islam, FOUR, back of a length delivery around off, Taijul Islam makes room and thumps it over wide mid-off for four runs

Asitha Fernando to Ebadot Hossain, out Lbw!! Three reds, and he's gone! Was a length delivery that kept slightly low and the batsman got pinned on the pads as he tried to defend it. Ebadot Hossain thought this would bounce a tad extra, however, he's wrong in judging the same. Pitching in line, impact in line and it's crashing into the leg-stump. Sri Lanka need only one wicket to clean up Bangladesh. Ebadot Hossain lbw b Asitha Fernando 8(13) [4s-1]

Vishwa Fernando to Taijul Islam, FOUR, short in length and Taijul Islam has pulled this over mid-wicket for the first boundary of the morning

Tharindu Ratnayake to Ebadot Hossain, FOUR, intent shown by Ebadot Hossain. He gets to the pitch of the ball and thumps the tossed up delivery towards long-off. A few bounces in front of the cushions and that's a boundary

Asitha Fernando to Nayeem Hasan, out Bowled!! That's a fantastic delivery! A length delivery around off, the batsman gets squared up on his defence and finds the off-stump rattled. Nayeem Hasan stands there in disbelief, but he will have to walk back to the pavilion. Banglaldesh are eight down as we are inching towards close of day 1. Nayeem Hasan b Asitha Fernando 25(51) [4s-2]

Asitha Fernando to Taijul Islam, FOUR, was that a chance? Don't think it was. A short ball down the leg-side, Taijul Islam looks to nudge it away, but the ball clips the thigh pad. The keeper gets his right hand to it, but fails to latch on to it. Runs given although there wasn't glove

Vishwa Fernando to Nayeem Hasan, 1 run, chance of a run-out, missed! A big mixup between the batters, yes and no, and they go for a single despite that. Was a length delivery outside off and Nayeem Hasan played it towards point. Had the fielder scored a direct-hit at the bowler's end, it would have been curtains for Nayeem Hasan. He was no where in the frame

Tharindu Ratnayake to Nayeem Hasan, 1 run, tad short outside off, Nayeem Hasan rocks back and cuts it through cover-point for one. 200 up for Bangladesh

Vishwa Fernando to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! That's a sharp catch by Kamindu at wide slip. Back of a length delivery outside off, Mehidy Hasan Miraz pushes away from his body and the outside edge flies to wide slip. Mendis stationed there grabs a fine low catch by getting his fingers underneath and that has been taken cleanly, confirm the replays. Bangladesh lose a set batsman towards the closing stages of Day 1. With the tail exposed, Sri Lanka have a chance to take the remaining three wickets before stumps. Mehidy Hasan Miraz c Kamindu Mendis b Vishwa Fernando 31(42) [4s-3]

Dinusha to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, FOUR, deft touch. Straighter delivery outside off, Mehidy Hasan Miraz goes deep in his crease and guides it past the fielder at slip. No one in the deep and those are four easy runs

Dinusha to Nayeem Hasan, FOUR, streaky! Nayeem comes down the track and Dinusha follows him, the ball dips and Nayeem goes through with the on-drive, squirts an inside-edge and the ball escapes through his legs. No chance for the leg slip fielder

Prabath Jayasuriya to Nayeem Hasan, FOUR, lovely shot! Nayeem uses his feet, gets to the pitch of the ball and that allows him to drive against the turn, played it uppishly but well wide of the mid-on fielder

Asitha Fernando to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, FOUR, shot! Fullish delivery outside off, Mehidy opens the bat face and drives in front of square. There was a deep point in place but he had no chance of stopping that

Dinusha to Mushfiqur, out Caught by Vishwa Fernando!! What was that? Mushfiqur has holed out in the deep while playing the slog sweep in a Test match. Side 5 down, last recognised batters at the crease, senior most batter and Mushfiqur throws it away by playing a reckless shot. There was not much flight on this, bowled flatter and outside off, Mushfiqur fetches the slog sweep and does not middle the shot, Vishwa runs to his left near deep mid-wicket and takes a good catch. Mushfiqur c Vishwa Fernando b Dinusha 35(75) [4s-5]

Asitha Fernando to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, FOUR, smashed! Mehidy is picking the balls to play the pull. This one does not bounce much, around the chest and Mehidy is quick to pounce, he swivels around and nails it in front of square

Dinusha to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 2 runs, flatter and outside off, Mehidy dabs it past the slip fielder and picks up a brace

Dinusha to Litton Das, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! Maiden wicket for Dinusha in Test cricket. Was on a length outside off, didn't turn much and was very close to the body. Litton Das attempts a cut and gets a thick outside edge. Kusal Mendis almost makes a mess of it as he fails to grab it on the first attempt. Juggles a couple of times and manages to finally hold on to it. The set batsman departs as the 67-run partnership has been broken by the debutant. Litton Das c Kusal Mendis b Dinusha 34(56) [4s-2 6s-1]

Prabath Jayasuriya to Litton Das, 1 run, in the air, but safe! A false shot induced, but again it drops in no man's land. Was a tossed up delivery around off, Litton Das went down on his knee to play the slogsweep, but got a top edge. The bowler calls for it, sprints back till the mid-off region, but fails to get his fingers underneath. Just like Mushfiq, even Litton Das is riding luck in this innings

Prabath Jayasuriya to Litton Das, FOUR, flighted delivery by Prabath Jayasuriya, right into the slot, Litton Das stays put and thumps it towards long-on as the ball almost goes the distance. Landed a few yards before the cushions

Vishwa Fernando to Mushfiqur, FOUR, edged but safe! Mushfiqur has been quite lucky today. Was dropped earlier and now the edge doesn't find the fielder. Was a shortish delivery outside off, Mushfiqur attempts a cut and the outside edge flies between the wide slip fielder and the keeper

Prabath Jayasuriya to Mushfiqur, FOUR, on the shorter side, Mushfiqur rocks back in the crease and pulls this powerfully through the mid-wicket region. Played it along the turf and found the boundary. This partnership is inching closer to the 50-run mark

Tharindu Ratnayake to Litton Das, SIX, Litton Das goes downtown! He advances down the wicket and launches the tossed up delivery over long-on for half-a-dozen. Clean strike by the middle-order batsman

Asitha Fernando to Mushfiqur, FOUR, short and punished! Mushfiqur gets into position quickly, rocks back in the crease and pulls the short ball through mid-wicket for four runs. There was a fielder sprinting across near the boundary, but he couldn't get there

Asitha Fernando to Litton Das, 1 run, pitched up by the bowler outside off, Litton Das steers it through point for a single

Tharindu Ratnayake to Mushfiqur, FOUR, dropped at deep mid-wicket! Was a tossed up delivery around middle and leg, Mushfiqur goes for the slogsweep and the fielder at deep mid-wicket gets his right hand to it. Should have been closer to the boundary, would have been a straightforward chance. Udara the culprit and the Sri Lankan fielders can't believe it. Their reactions say it all

Vishwa Fernando to Mushfiqur, FOUR, that's easy pickings for Mushfiqur. Sliding down leg, he gets inside the line and helps it along to fine leg.

Tharindu Ratnayake to Litton Das, FOUR, just evades Jayasuriya. Litton decides to use his feet, does not get to the pitch of the ball but still goes through with the loft and chips it towards deep mid-wicket, Jayasuriya runs to his left and dives with an outstretched hand but cannot hang on. Not sure if he got anything on the ball

Vishwa Fernando to Mushfiqur, no run, Sri Lanka lose a review. That's a poor one from Fernando. He goes round the wicket and angles it in, Mushfiqur prods forward and ekes out an inside-edge onto the pad. It was a big edge but Fernando did not spot it and ends up costing his side a review

Tharindu Ratnayake to Shadman Islam, out Caught by Dhananjaya!! Well, well! Two wickets in two overs right after lunch. This is a loose shot from Shadman. He has thrown away all the hard work. Sees a flighted delivery outside off, he could have let it go but is drawn into a booming drive, the ball spins away and take the outside-edge, hits Kusal Mendis's gloves and goes quickly to slip, DDS reacts and hangs onto a sharp catch. Shadman Islam c Dhananjaya b Tharindu Ratnayake 46(93) [4s-7]

Vishwa Fernando to Shanto, out Caught by Kusal Mendis!! This is a huge wicket. The in-form Bangladesh skipper is gone. But this was beautifully set-up. Bowled a short one the previous delivery and now pitches this up, draws Shanto into the forward prod and gets the ball to straighten, the outside-edge goes to the left of Kusal Mendis and he manages to hang on. Just the start Sri Lanka would have wanted for the session. Shanto c Kusal Mendis b Vishwa Fernando 8(31)

Asitha Fernando to Shanto, 1 run, a risky single taken to end the session. There was a slight hiccup between the two batters, but they go ahead with the single. Was steered towards gully by Shanto and the fielder stationed there grabbed it with a dive. Had Nissanka nailed a direct-hit at the keeper's end, it would have been curtains for Shadman Islam. He was miles outside his crease

Asitha Fernando to Shadman Islam, FOUR, easy pickings! Drifting on the pads and Shadman Islam flicks it away to the fine leg fence for a nonchalant boundary. Mininum effort required by the batsman

Dhananjaya to Shadman Islam, FOUR, short and punished! Shadman Islam rocks back and pulls this towards deep mid-wicket uppishly. This lands just in front of the cushions, almost went the distance

Vishwa Fernando to Shadman Islam, FOUR, edged but safe! Back of a length delivery outside off, Shadman Islam plays away from his body and gets an outside edge through the vacant second slip region. There was a fielder at first slip, but this edged played past him

Dhananjaya to Shanto, 1 run, on his front foot to push the floated delivery into the off-side. 50 up with that single

Dhananjaya to Mominul, out Caught by (sub)Pawan Rathnayake!! Dhananjaya strikes in his first over. This was tad short around off, Mominul punches it uppishly towards cover where the substitute fielder takes a sharp catch. Mominul was looking good, but he fails to convert his start into a formidable score. How often have we seen Dhananjaya taking such crucial wickets. Mominul c (sub)Pawan Rathnayake b Dhananjaya 21(39) [4s-3]

Prabath Jayasuriya to Shadman Islam, FOUR, tossed up delivery outside off, Shadman Islam lunges forward and creams it through covers for a lovely timed boundary

Tharindu Ratnayake to Mominul, FOUR, tad short outside off, Mominul rocks back and carves it through backward point for four runs

Tharindu Ratnayake to Shadman Islam, FOUR, Shadman Islam breaks the shackles. After defending a few deliveries he goes after the spinner. Advances down the wicket and thumps it right over Tharindu Ratnayake for a rollicking boundary

Asitha Fernando to Shadman Islam, FOUR, neatly done! Full and slanting in, Shadman leans across and flicks it through mid-wicket, That was a good ball but an equally good shot by Shadman. Asitha had his hands on his head because Shadman would have been in trouble had he missed that

Tharindu Ratnayake to Mominul, 1 run, dropped? Might not have carried. Flatter and sliding in, Mominul plays the late cut and gets an outside-edge, the ball goes low and bounces just short of DDS at slip before escaping through his legs

Tharindu Ratnayake to Mominul, FOUR, flighted outside off, Mominul opens the bat face and drives it square of the wicket. There was a sweeper but he had no chance of making the stop

Vishwa Fernando to Mominul, FOUR, bad delivery and Mominul puts it away. Short and outside off, ample width on offer and Mominul cuts it behind square, the ball races away..

Asitha Fernando to Anamul Haque, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Asitha has his wicket. He does not need the fielders. This is the nip-backer, Anamul is caught in the crease and leaves his bat hanging slightly away from the body, the inside-edge hits the top of off-stump. The drop catch does not cost Sri Lanka anything as Anamul walks back for a duck. Anamul Haque b Asitha Fernando 0(10)

Vishwa Fernando to Shadman Islam, FOUR, shot! Fernando goes further up with his length searching for swing, there isn't any and Shadman lays into the drive, he gets a good stride in and creams the drive through extra cover

Asitha Fernando to Anamul Haque, no run, dropped? Did that carry to first slip? Yes. But it was Kusal Mendis' fault. Full delivery in the channel, Anamul has to play and he closes the bat face while trying to clip it into the leg-side, the outside-edge was carrying to first slip but Kusal Mendis dives across, gets fingertips and deflects the ball onto Udara's leg at first slip
