Danushka Gunathilaka to roll his arm now.

4.6: A Aponso to M Rahim, Bat on ball this time as Rahim tickles it in the gap at mid-wicket for a run.

4.5: A Aponso to M Rahim, Stifled appeal for an lbw! Quicker delivery, on middle and leg, Rahim fails to work it around and is hit on the pads. The bowler lets out a muted appeal knowing that would have missed the leg stump.

4.4: A Aponso to M Rahim, Rahim has played that off the front foot and into the ground.

4.3: A Aponso to M Rahim, FOUR! Fine shot! Tossed up ball around off, Rahim makes room, advances down the track and clobbers it over mid off for a cracking boundary.

4.1: A Aponso to M Rahim, Flatter and outside off, played down to point.

3.6: A Dananjaya to M Rahim, Played to the mid-wicket region by the batsman. One run added to the total.

The batsman going through a purple patch, Mushfiqur Rahim arrives in the middle.

3.5: A Dananjaya to S Rahman, OUT! Stumped and it's of the highest quality, I will tell you why... A well tossed up off spinner landing around off, Sabbir jumps out of the crease to flick but misses and the ball spins back in to hit him on the pads. Then it goes behind and in spite of the deflection and also being blindsighted for a moment, Kusal Perera manages to gather the ball and break the stumps. It's an excellent piece of stumping. On closer look in the replays, Kusal there didn't gather the ball cleanly but still managed to do the job. Hmm...still commendable given all that happened before the ball arrived to him. Sabbir's knock was good till it lasted. 127 needed off 97 balls!

3.4: A Dananjaya to S Rahman, Knocks a full ball down the ground but finds the mid on fielder.

3.3: A Dananjaya to S Rahman, FOUR! The move to send Sabbir at number 3 has worked so far. He brings out the reverse sweep and unfurls a nicely timed shot. Amila Aponso dives all over it at short third man and concedes a boundary. That's a dot ball which has gone for a four. Not what the Lankans want.

3.2: A Dananjaya to T Iqbal, Quickish and full on off, Tamim leans forward to defend but it takes the inner half of the bat and rolls in front of square leg. A single is taken.

3.1: A Dananjaya to T Iqbal, Turning into the batsman from around middle, on the shorter side, Tamim uses the depth of his crease and works it to the right of the fielder in the deep mid-wicket region. A couple taken.

2.6: A Aponso to S Rahman, Aponso doesn't believe in flighting. Arrows another one in, around off, Rahman leans forward, brings his bat in front of the pads and blocks.

2.5: A Aponso to T Iqbal, Fires this one in, full and on middle, Tamim helps it through mid-wicket for a run.

Oh dear, this is not looking good. Nuwan Pradeep has not moved after going down and is clutching his hamstring. He is leaving the field and is not at all moving freely. Big blow to Sri Lanka if he ain't coming back to participate in this match.

2.4: A Aponso to T Iqbal, FOUR! Deft from Tamim. He fetches a length ball from around leg and nudges it past short fine leg. Nuwan Pradeep tries chasing it from inside the ring but in the process has pulled his hamstring. He is down on ground as the ball speeds past the rope.

2.3: A Aponso to S Rahman, Played to the mid-wicket region by the batsman. One run added to the total.

2.2: A Aponso to S Rahman, Rahman has played that off the front foot and into the ground.

2.1: A Aponso to T Iqbal, Quicker one, full and on middle, 96 kph, it's tucked through mid-wicket for a run.

Amila Aponso is into the attack now.

1.6: A Dananjaya to S Rahman, FOUR! Sabbir has come out with a positive intent. Dananjaya drags his length short and bowls it wide outside off. Sabbir rocks back and punches it superbly through covers. 9 runs and a wicket from it!

1.5: A Dananjaya to S Rahman, FOUR! Nicely timed and placed. Flighted and full around middle and leg, Rahman kneels and sweeps it all along the ground through backward square leg. Sweet timing and it's a boundary.

Sabbir Rahman has been promoted up the order. Interesting move. They have tried him before in this position but without much success. Can he do it in this crunch game?

1.4: A Dananjaya to L Das, OUT! Akila draws first blood! He serves a flighted full ball outside off, Das spots the mid off fielder inside the ring and tries to go over him. Fails to get proper connection and lofts it straight into the hands of Thisara Perera. He is not dropping those. Litton is disappointed. He should have done better there as the idea was right and there was enough width on offer too.

1.3: A Dananjaya to L Das, Tossed up ball on middle, Das plays the sweep shot but finds the short fine leg fielder.

1.2: A Dananjaya to T Iqbal, Aerial but safe! Flatter and outside off, Tamim hammers it through the line, doesn't bother to keep it down and it whizzes to the deep. There is a fielder at long off and they cross.

1.1: A Dananjaya to T Iqbal, Flighted full ball on middle and off, Tamim defends it by drawing forward.

Akila Dananjaya to bowl from the other end. A slip in place.

0.6: N Pradeep to L Das, Beaten! What a delivery! Out of nowhere. Has been poor all over and now produces a gem. Gets extra lift from a good length outside off, straightening off the seam, Das has a tame push inside the line and misses. 10 from the first over, a good foundation for Bangladesh.
