FOUR! Suranga Lakmal to Sabbir Rahman. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. High class from Sabbir Rahman. Great final over from him. In the arc, and lofted high back down the ground for a one bounce four.
Imposing total set by the hosts. Fifties for Tamim, Shakib and Mushfiqur, along with some handy cameos, have got them to 320. Sri Lanka struggled to pick up wickets, with the first, second, third, and fourth wicket partnerships all passing fifty. No one made a big one for Bangladesh, but that didn't matter in the end. Sri Lanka will have to go well to chase this one, but they do have the capability to do so with their batting line up. The Tigers remain favourites at the halfway mark, though.
SIX! Suranga Lakmal to Sabbir Rahman. Half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Nice finish from Sabbir here. Once again in the slot from Lakmal, and he blasts it over wide long on. Clears the rope by a distance.
FOUR! Suranga Lakmal to Sabbir Rahman. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Full, wide, and carved through extra cover for four. Lakmal just misses his yorker length, and he gets punished.

Magnificent delivery again from Thisara. A perfect yorker, drifting back into the toes, and the ball hits flush on the boot right in front. Not out given by the umpire, but an instant review from Sri Lanka. Second time they have one overturned. All three reds on HawkEye.
Thisara Perera to Sabbir Rahman. Full toss, off stump on the front foot Scoop, leading edge to slips for 1 run, shy attempt by Fernando.
OUT! Caught. Nuwan Pradeep to Mashrafe Mortaza. Leg cutter short, off stump backing away pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep square leg, by Perera. Mashrafe moves outside leg again, Pradeep follows him with a change in pace, and the Tigers captain looks to hoick this out the ground. High off the bat, and lobbed down to deep square for the catch.
FOUR! Nuwan Pradeep to Mashrafe Mortaza. Full toss, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed in the air under control past deep backward point for 4 runs. Juicy full toss, Mortaza walks outside leg stump to give himself room, and he thrashes it over backward point for four.

OUT! Bowled. Thisara Perera to Mushfiqur Rahim. Reverse Swing-In yorker, off stump on the front foot driving, missed. Corker from Thisara. He is getting some reverse with this slingy action of his. Mushfiqur picks the wrong ball to go after, and the ball slides underneath the bat to demolish middle and leg. Quality nut.
FOUR! Thisara Perera to Mushfiqur Rahim. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Gets the front leg well out the way, swings hard, and scythes through extra cover for four.

OUT! Caught. Nuwan Pradeep to Mahmudullah. Leg cutter half volley, off stump backing away driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by Perera. Pradeep rolls his fingers down the side of the ball, and Mahumudullah just wasn't expecting the change in pace. Through the shot too early, and off the bottom edge of the bat. Spooned down the throat of long on for a simple take.
OUT! Caught. Rubel Hossain to Akila Dananjaya. Full toss, middle stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, by Al Hasan. That is the win. Akila clears the front leg, looks to crunch it over the top, but the ball lobs up off the toe to mid off.
What an absolute drubbing that was. Bangladesh with their biggest ever margin of victory in ODIs. That shows how these sides have progressed over the last few years. Sri Lankan on a slippery slope, Bangladesh definitely on the up. Terrific all round performance today. Many chipped in with the bat, and the wickets were also shared around. The visitors just cannot compete at that level with these players, the whole team pretty much had a stinker today.
But, Sri Lanka will have to turn their attention to Zimbabwe, as victory on Sunday could mean they could reach the final still. Join us then, for hopefully a competitive and exciting game.

OUT! Bowled. Rubel Hossain to Suranga Lakmal. Reverse Swing-In yorker, middle stump no foot movement defending, missed. Keep that one out. Stunning delivery from Rubel, which was probably wasted on a lower-order batsmen, as not many would've squeezed that out. Reverse swinging yorker, tailing back towards the stumps, and it nails the base of middle and leg to send Lakmal on his way. Just one more needed for the hosts now, and with Pradeep on his way in, it shouldn't take too long.

It was never going to last. Thisara shuffles down, tries to launch it into orbit, but toe-ends the ball to long off for a simple grab. Shakib nips in with his third, who hasn't been at his best, but Sri Lanka giving their wickets away for fun.
SIX! Shakib Al Hasan to Thisara Perera. Stock ball back of a length, middle stump on the back foot pulling, well timed over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Goes all the way again. Thisara is having some fun. Hacks at the ball, but he has enough muscle behind it to just about clear the boundary. Top hitting this.
FOUR! Shakib Al Hasan to Thisara Perera. Stock ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, past long off for 4 runs, mis-fielded by Mahmudullah.

Mahmudullah is out there, and he just dives over the ball. Poor.
