6.13pm So, no hundred for Mushfiqur. Nevertheless, this has been a quality innings and he is warmly welcomed back by his team-mates and the support staff. After Bangladesh were reduced to 117 for 6 on the sluggish Premadasa track, Mushfiqur combined with Mehidy to repair the innings with a brisk 84-run stand. Mushfiqur then farmed the strike with the tail to Bangladesh closer to 250. Akila Dananjaya, returning to international cricket with a remodelled action, showed that his effectiveness had not decreased. He mixed up his offbreaks with legbreaks and wrong'uns, posing questions to Bangladesh's batsmen. Akila was ably backed up by de Silva and Pradeep. Sri Lanka need 239 to wrap up the series 2-0. Ankur will be back with you to launch the chase. Cheers.

Mehidy: Definitely, Mushfiqur deserved a hundred. I think he did very well. We were under pressure, four down. Mushi just told me to keep going

Sudip Timilsina: "Bangladesh team has quality players besides Shakib too. They are not as good as Shakib is but they are good nevertheless. The problem with Bangladeshi team is that they have not been able to click as a team. When one star fails, other has to take the responsibility. They instead start crumbling. They need a Mushfiqur like innings every game they play."
