Shafiul to Dhananjaya de Silva, out Caught by Sabbir Rahman!! Clears his front leg and slogs the slower full delivery from outside off, doesn't get the required contact and the toe-end lands in the bucket hands of Sabbir Rahman at long-on. Dhananjaya de Silva c Sabbir Rahman b Shafiul 18(12) [4s-3]

Shafiul to Dhananjaya de Silva, FOUR, low full toss down the leg-side and Dhananjaya helps it away to the fine leg fence with a timely whip off his pads

Mustafizur to Mathews, out Caught by Sabbir Rahman!! Tries to go big over extra cover but Mathews has toe-ended the lofty drive straight down the throat of wide long-off. No real celebrations. Mathews c Sabbir Rahman b Mustafizur 48(52) [4s-3]

Shafiul to Dhananjaya de Silva, FOUR, wobble seam full delivery on the pads, Dhananjaya whips it nonchalantly to the left of deep square and Mehidy makes a complete meal of it; firstly diving over the ball and then overan while trying to haul it back

Mustafizur to Dhananjaya de Silva, FOUR, slashes hard at a full away slanter and the edge flies fine past the keeper, third man cannot get there in time

Shafiul to Perera, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! Tries to go big over extra cover, but ends up slicing the loft off the toe-end and Soumya Sarkar takes the easiest of catches running in from sweeper cover. Perera c Soumya Sarkar b Shafiul 2(3)

Mustafizur to Thirimanne, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! The ball is following Sarkar like a magnet today. Thirimanne will be kicking himself as he hit this straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket fielder. Probably, got carried away by that Mathews boundary and muscled this hard but couldn't keep it down. Sarkar moves to his left and settles under it. Thirimanne c Soumya Sarkar b Mustafizur 25(30) [4s-1]

Mustafizur to Mathews, FOUR, a boundary after 7 overs and Mathews breaks free. Was itching to smack a few for a while, takes a few steps forward and makes room to bash it over the bowler's head

Mustafizur to Mathews, FOUR, that's poor bowling from Mustafizur! Almost an action replay of the third delivery of this over. Sits up nicely around the waist height for Mathews and he's bludgeoned that through mid-wicket once again

Mustafizur to Mathews, FOUR, that's dismissed! Short and wide, Mathews stands tall and clobbers the pull through mid-wicket, no-one moved!

Mustafizur to Thirimanne, FOUR, classic Lahiru Thirimanne! Puts his weight onto the front knee and leans in delight as he smacks a square-drive past the diving left hand of backward point

Rubel to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Rahim!! There was hardly any appeal from the keeper but Kusal Mendis decides to walk. Clearly got a nick but the bowler and the keeper weren't sure; went up half-heartedly and seconds later spotted Kusal Mendis trudging back to the dressing room. Cross-seam back of a length delivery outside off, Mendis goes fishing outside off and feathers an edge to the keeper. Kusal Mendis c Rahim b Rubel 43(49) [4s-4]

Soumya Sarkar to Kusal Perera, out Caught by Mustafizur!! A soft dismissal for Perera - he was looking tired over the past few overs and has now found the fielder to a nicety. This was full and this was on the pads, was there to be put away - Perera went for the flick and flicked it straight into the hands of Mustafizur at short fine. He walks off to a good ovation from the crowd as Sri Lanka lose their third wicket. Kusal Perera c Mustafizur b Soumya Sarkar 111(99) [4s-17 6s-1]

Soumya Sarkar to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, slower short ball outside off, Mendis slices the cut to deep cover, brings up the 100-run stand

Soumya Sarkar to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, lovely, too short from Soumya, can't bowl those at his pace - Mendis swivels across and pulls it in front of mid-wicket for a boundary

Mosaddek Hossain to Kusal Perera, FOUR, hundred for Perera, his 5th in ODIs, his joint-fastest as well - gets a rousing round of applause from the crowd as he lifts his helmet and held his arms aloft in joy. Coming to the ball, it was tossed up and well outside off, Perera bent down low and swept it over mid-wicket, once bounce and over the boundary

Soumya Sarkar to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, chance and Mahmudullah has made a mess of it - Bangladesh have been very sloppy in the field today. Short and just outside off, Mendis swivelled across on the pull and got it high off the bat - was in the air for a long time and Mahmudullah had plenty of time, as he came across from long-on. Hit his wrists and popped out

Mosaddek Hossain to Kusal Perera, SIX, clubbed, pushed through flatter and quicker, Perera was quick to bend down and swipes it over mid-wicket, almost went all the way, think it bounced just in front of the ropes. No, it's been given as a maximum

Rubel to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, top-edge and four, extra bounce from a length and that beat Mendis on the pull, gets a fat top-edge that flies down towards long leg for another boundary

Rubel to Kusal Perera, FOUR, easy pickings for Perera, short and angling down leg, Perera gets inside the line and helps it on its way to the fine leg boundary

Mustafizur to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, lovely, tad too short from Mustafizur, Mendis gets on top of the bounce as he rolled his wrists and pulled it behind square on the on-side for a boundary

Mustafizur to Kusal Perera, FOUR, cracking shot, short and wide of off, Perera gets on top of the bounce and cuts it high and over backward point, no chance for Soumya Sarkar - despite the dive

Mustafizur to Kusal Perera, FOUR, top-edge and four, banged in short and well outside off, Perera was in no position on the pull, gets a fat top-edge that flies over the keeper's grasp

Mustafizur to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, that was close, on a good length and on the leg-stump line, Mendis nudged it in front of mid-wicket and called for a risky single - Kusal Perera had to respond as Mustafizur got across to the ball, has a shy at the striker's end and misses, would have been well short had he hit

Mustafizur to Kusal Perera, FOUR, cracking shot, back of a length and well outside off, Perera gets on top of the bounce and cuts it square behind point, no chance for the fielder at third man

Mehidy Hasan to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, beautifully played, this has been a poor over from Mehidy, very full and well wide of off, Mendis gets close to the ball and finds the drive wide of extra-cover for a boundary

Mehidy Hasan to Kusal Perera, FOUR, lovely shot, fraction too short from Mehidy, width on offer as well - Perera makes room and then slices the cut behind square on the off-side. Mithun runs across in the deep, slides and then kicks the ball ontgo the ropes

Mehidy Hasan to Karunaratne, out Caught by Mustafizur!! Pressure of dots consumes Karunaratne and Mehidy gets rewarded. Tossed up on middle and leg, Karunaratne went down to play the sweep and gets foxed by the dip and some turn. Fat top edge goes up in the air and the Fizz at short fine leg pouches the sitter. The partnership was flourishing for Sri Lanka, however it comes to an end tamely. With that wicket, they call for drinks as well. Bangladesh will be delighted with this wicket. Karunaratne c Mustafizur b Mehidy Hasan 36(37) [4s-4]

Shafiul to Kusal Perera, FOUR, fifty for Kusal Perera with this boundary. 15th half-century in ODIs and he looks up to the heavens before waving his bat across the ground. Points his finger at someone in the dressing room indicating something. Half-volley from Islam outside off, Kusal Perera leans across and drives it sublimely through extra cover

Shafiul to Kusal Perera, FOUR, dealing in boundaries is Kusal Perera. Islam overcooks and gets it much fuller outside off, Kusal walks into a drive and hammers it to the left of mid-off to move into 49*

Mosaddek Hossain to Kusal Perera, FOUR, swept and swept well in the gap. There's very little margin for error when you bowl against Kusal Perera. Mosaddek went quicker but ended up shooting it too straight. Kusal preempts and sinks low, nicely sweeping it past short fine leg

Shafiul to Kusal Perera, no run, it was on a good length and nibbled slightly just outside off, Kusal went after it with his horizontal bat and failed to execute the punch

Rubel to Kusal Perera, FOUR, oh, delicious from Kusal. Nothing much wrong with this delivery, it was fraction fuller outside off. Kusal brings his bat down in an arc and caresses it stunningly through extra cover

Rubel to Kusal Perera, FOUR, help-yourself-with-a-boundary ball and Kusal tucks in the gift. Hossain has been guilty of bowling too many short balls today and the misery continues. Hip-high short ball on leg, Kusal spindles across and helps it away past the man at 45

Mosaddek Hossain to Karunaratne, FOUR, Karunaratne is toying the field. Again steps out and gets near the pitch, frees his arms and mows it over mid-wicket. Plenty of gaps there and he'll collect a boundary

Mosaddek Hossain to Karunaratne, FOUR, Kusal's aggressive intent rubbing onto Karunaratne as well. It's raining boundaries here. Drifted quicker and too full, Karunaratne strides out to get to the pitch and drills it past mid-on

Mehidy Hasan to Kusal Perera, FOUR, back-to-back fours for Kusal. He's turning on the knob now. Mehidy doesn't learn and drops it short again outside off, Kusal deals it with alacrity cutting it past point

Mehidy Hasan to Kusal Perera, FOUR, crashed through cover. Flat and short outside off, Kusal uses the depth of the crease to good effect and slaps it magnificently

Rubel to Kusal Perera, FOUR, change of angle but the result is the same. Idential shortish delivery from Hossain, Kusal feasts again getting back in a flash and hammering it behind square

Rubel to Kusal Perera, FOUR, nah, nah. Wrong line again from Hossain and the treatment is meted out by Kusal. Short and at the hips, Kusal quickly pounces onto it by swiveling across and pulling it past the man at short fine leg

Mehidy Hasan to Karunaratne, FOUR, second boundary of the over and Mehidy will be disappointed with the finish. Fired it quick, Karunaratne uses his bottom-hand to whip it firmly to the right of mid-on

Mehidy Hasan to Kusal Perera, FOUR, spectacularly executed cut from Kusal, splits the gap perfectly between short third man and backward point. Skipped deep in his crease, saw the quicker ball and smeared it beautifully

Shafiul to Kusal Perera, FOUR, typical Kusal slash. Islam digs it quite short outside off and Kusal uses his bat like a machete to cream it in the gap through cover

Shafiul to Karunaratne, FOUR, lackluster stuff from Sabbir will give Karunaratne and Sri Lanka their first boundary. Pitched up, luring into the drive and Karunaratne accepts the challenge. Doesn't go full-throttle, just leans and pushes it off the middle. Sabbir fails to get down in time at cover and this is a quick outfield, there's no stopping that

Shafiul to Avishka Fernando, out Caught by Soumya Sarkar!! Edged and grabbed by Sarkar at widish first slip. Pin-drop silence across the ground as Fernando perishes. Very loose from the right-hander; this was too short and well wide of off, Fernando with no feet throws his bat and only succeeds in feeding a thick outside edge. Good reflexes from Sarkar and Bangladesh will be thrilled to see the back of Fernando, who can be quite dangerous in the PowerPlay. The experiment to send Fernando to open hasn't worked for Sri Lanka. Avishka Fernando c Soumya Sarkar b Shafiul 7(13)

Shafiul to Avishka Fernando, no run, full and shaping in, Fernando plays all around in a bid to hoick it across the line and gets rammed on the pads. The angle from over the wicket takes the ball down leg
