Bangladesh Innings

9.5 Hasaranga to Litton Das, OUT

Has he got him this time?! Litton has missed the reverse sweep, and this one has popped up off the pads, as Kusal completes the catch. Has this got some glove? Sri Lanka review And yes, it's a great review! This has grazed the top of the glove, and Sri Lanka have their fifth. Litton has to go!

Bangladesh Innings

18.1 Pathirana to Shamim Hossain, SIX runs

First six of the innings! And just when Bangladesh needed it! Good length on the stumps, and Shamim swings right through the line. Picks it up massive over deep midwicket. More high than far, but far enough!
