  • 49.6

    FOUR! Soumya Sarkar to Wanindu Hasaranga. Off cutter short, outside off stump down the track cutting, well timed in the air under control past third man for 4 runs. Ends it with another boundary. Superb last ten overs for Sri Lanka. Hasaranga chips this short delivery over short third man, and it skips away to finish things off nicely for the hosts.

    A tough target for Bangladesh. Karunaratne and Perera set the platform nicely with their fourties, then Mendis and Mathews took over. They milked the bowling in the middle overs, and that allowed a late surge in the final few overs. Dasun Shanaka chipped in with a blistering thirty to push the home side to 294. The Tigers were good up front with the ball, and Taijul Islam bowled a very economical ten overs as well. They let themselves down apart from that, though. Can they chase this down? Or will Sri Lanka defend it to make it 3-0?

  • 49.5

    FOUR! Soumya Sarkar to Wanindu Hasaranga. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled past long on for 4 runs, dropped catch by Rahman. Dropped on the boundary edge by Sabbir again! He isn't having a great day in the field. Clothed out to long on, Sabbir is close to the rope, which is clearly on his mind, and it means he cannot complete the catch. It pops out the hands, and lands inside for four.

  • 49.4

    Soumya Sarkar to Wanindu Hasaranga. Off cutter short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Rahim.

  • 49.3

    Soumya Sarkar to Wanindu Hasaranga. Off cutter half volley, to leg on the front foot flick, to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Islam, by Sarkar. Soumya could've completed a team hattrick there. A risky second run taken, clean fielding in the deep, but the bowler misses the stumps when trying to remove the bails.

  • 49.2

    OUT! Caught. Soumya Sarkar to Akila Dananjaya. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Rahman. Two in two for Soumya Sarkar. Rolls his fingers across the ball, Akila tries to whack it out the park first up, but totally miscues. Simple take down at long off.

  • 49.1

    OUT! Caught. Soumya Sarkar to Angelo Mathews. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Rahim. Mathews cannot get to three figures. He nearly swings himself off his feet here, and ends up getting a tiny edge behind into the keeper's gloves. End of a super knock.

  • 49.1

    Wide Soumya Sarkar to Angelo Mathews. Half volley, wide outside off stump no foot movement Leave, Left to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Rahim.

    OUT! Caught. Shafiul Islam to Shehan Jayasuriya. Length ball, to leg on the front foot Slog, leading edge in the air uncontrolled to extra cover, by Iqbal. A third for Shafiul. Shehan wants to club it over mid wicket, but ends up skying it up into the offside. Tamim is underneath it, and pouches comfortably.

  • 48.3

    FOUR! Shafiul Islam to Shehan Jayasuriya. Off cutter length ball, down leg side on the front foot Slog, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. Change of pace, a big heave into the legside, and Shehan manages to drag it into the gap behind square for four more.

  • 48.2

  • 48.1

    FOUR! Shafiul Islam to Angelo Mathews. Length ball, outside off stump moves in front flick, well timed past deep square leg for 4 runs. Outrageous shot from Mathews. This may have been called a wide on the offside, but Mathews walks across to whip it away through square leg for four.

  • 47.5

    SIX! Mehedi Hasan to Angelo Mathews. Off break half volley, to leg on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Front leg out the way, a big swing of the bat, and Mathews gets enough power behind it to get the maximum.

  • 46.5

    SIX! Shafiul Islam to Shehan Jayasuriya. Off cutter length ball, middle stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control over deep extra cover for 6 runs. It just creeps over the rope for six more! Shehan jumps out the crease, and crashes it over extra cover. There is a man on the boundary edge, but it just clears him.

  • 46.4

    Shafiul Islam to Angelo Mathews. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump moves in front driving, to backward point for 1 run, fielded by Miraz.

  • 46.1

    OUT! Caught. Shafiul Islam to Dasun Shanaka. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, by Rahman. Sabbir holds on this time. Shanaka attempts another big blow, but this time it comes right off the toe end of the bat. The fielder sprinted in from long off, and tumbled forward to take the grab. End of a scintillating cameo.

  • 45.3

    Mehedi Hasan to Angelo Mathews. Off break length ball, to leg on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on for 2 runs, dropped catch by Rahman, fielded by Islam. Should've been taken, but Mathews' luck continues! He clears the front leg, and tries to hack it over cow corner. Completely mis-hit, and Sabbir has the chance to dismiss him running in from long on. Made his ground well, but shelled the opportunity.

  • 45.2

    Mehedi Hasan to Dasun Shanaka. Off break length ball, down leg side on the front foot flick, to deep square leg for 1 run, fielded by Bijoy.

  • 35.6
    Rubel Hossain Run Out Dimuth Karunaratne 2 (6)

    OUT! Run Out. Wanindu Hasaranga to Taijul Islam. Leg spinner length ball, off stump on the front foot flick, to backward square leg, fielded by Karunaratne, by Perera. That will finish things off. Taijul wants to keep the strike, so takes on a dodgy single. Rubel was caught on his heels at the other end, and Dimuth's sharp bit of work behind square was good enough to produce the run out. A massive win for Sri Lanka!

    The hosts put far too many on the board for Bangladesh. They were never threatening in chasing that down. Wickets fell regularly, with a mixture from poor shots and good bowling. It was a disappointing display from the Tigers. A lot of positives for Sri Lanka, though, as many contributed in this game, and they have sealed the 3-0 whitewash.

  • 35.5

    Wanindu Hasaranga to Taijul Islam. Googly back of a length, down leg side on the front foot sweeping, to short fine leg for no runs, fielded by Karunaratne.

  • 35.2

    FOUR! Wanindu Hasaranga to Taijul Islam. Leg spinner length ball, off stump down the track Slog, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Not pretty, but he's getting the boundaries. Taijul belts it away through that mid wicket region again.

  • 35.1

    APPEAL! Wanindu Hasaranga to Taijul Islam. Googly full toss, to leg on the front foot sweeping, bottom edge to leg slip for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. A shout for LBW again, but not given by the umpire. A hint of bat involved it looked like, and it saved Taijul, as it would've been plumb otherwise.

  • End of Over 35
    Over 35. 17 runs. Bowler: Shehan Jayasuriya. Bangladesh: 166/9 (rr 4.74)

  • 34.4

    FOUR! Shehan Jayasuriya to Taijul Islam. Off break half volley, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Agricultural this time. Taijul muscles it over mid wicket, and it teases teh fielder all the way to the rope.

  • 34.3

    FOUR! Shehan Jayasuriya to Taijul Islam. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, well timed past third man for 4 runs. Now the reverse sweep! He's got some shots in his locker! Executed brilliantly, and he paddles it away for four.

  • 34.2

    SIX! Shehan Jayasuriya to Taijul Islam. Off break half volley, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Taijul brings out the long handle. Down on one knee, and carted over mid wicket for six.

  • End of Over 34

  • 33.6

    Wanindu Hasaranga to Rubel Hossain. Leg spinner back of a length, middle stump on the back foot defending, to silly point for no runs.

  • 33.5

    Wanindu Hasaranga to Rubel Hossain. Leg spinner full toss, middle stump on the front foot flick, to short mid wicket for no runs, fielded by Mendis.

  • 33.4

    APPEAL! Wanindu Hasaranga to Rubel Hossain. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the back foot defending, bat-pad to silly point for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. This is close! The ball is squeezed between bat and pad, and there is a shout for leg before. Hard for the umpire to tell which came first, so he shakes his head. Replays show it was pad, but it was umpire's call on impact, so wouldn't have been overturned.

  • 33.3

    Wanindu Hasaranga to Rubel Hossain. Leg spinner half volley, to leg on the front foot flick, bat-pad to leg gully for no runs, fielded by Rajitha.

  • 33.2

    Shafiul Islam st Kusal Perera b Wanindu Hasaranga 1 (5)

    OUT! Stumped. Wanindu Hasaranga to Shafiul Islam. Leg spinner length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, missed to wicketkeeper, by Perera. That's what the tailenders like, and it generally brings their wicket. A looping leg spinner, Shafiul clears the front leg to try and smear it over the legside, but is nowhere near connecting with the ball. The back foot slides out, and Perera is sharp behind the stumps to remove the bails before he can get back.

  • End of Over 33
    Over 33. 6 runs. Bowler: Lahiru Kumara. Bangladesh: 149/8 (rr 4.52)
  • 32.6

    FOUR! Lahiru Kumara to Taijul Islam. Length ball, to leg on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. Quality hit from Taijul! He takes on Kumara, thumping it back over the seamer's header for four.

  • 31.5
    Soumya Sarkar b Akila Dananjaya 69 (86)

    OUT! Bowled. Akila Dananjaya to Soumya Sarkar. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump backing away driving, missed to. Akila deceives Sarkar, and it rips back through the gate to smash into leg stump. He hasn't bowled many leg breaks, and it isn't spotted here. Soumya tried to hit against the spin, and it rags past the inside edge to clean bowl him. This should be over pretty swiftly now.

  • 31.4

    Akila Dananjaya to Soumya Sarkar. Off break length ball, off stump on the front foot pushing, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Mendis.

  • 31.3

    FOUR! Akila Dananjaya to Soumya Sarkar. Googly length ball, off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Elegant stuff from Sarkar. He waltzes down to this delivery, and goes inside-out over extra cover. Textbook batting.

  • 31.2

    Akila Dananjaya to Taijul Islam. Off break length ball, middle stump on the front foot flick, to square leg for 1 run, fielded by Kumara.

  • 31.1

    Akila Dananjaya to Taijul Islam. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Mendis.
