1.02pm A colossal first-innings total for Bangladesh. They would have fancied their chances at 550-600 at the start of the day but they'll take this. Brilliant batting by Mahmudullah, batted well with the lower order who also resisted. Mominul Haque with the innings of his career as well. Mahmudullah left stranded in the eighties while Rahim missed out on a century of his own yesterday. Sri Lanka need to put up a solid reply. Be back shortly.

Lakmal to Mustafizur Rahman, OUT, the short one again but this time it follows the batsman and forces him to skew it in the air. Mustafizur backs away and then can't get underneath it. Doesn't withdraw the bat completely either and makes half an attempt at an uppercut. The ball lobs in the air off the top part of the bat and the keeper settles under it
