Usman: "Chamika bowled 3 very good overs but his quota was not used. Bowling changes today by Dasun were poor. "

Rushan Kodikara: "Chamika 3 overs, 8 dots, just 12 runs, 1 wicket and didn't got to bowl his last over. Why?"

3.45pm A gem of an innings from Mushfiqur Rahim has helped Bangladesh put up a formidable total on this Sharjah pitch. "It was a good wicket to bat on," he says. "Last few matches we saw as the day progresses it becomes difficult to score, so we wanted to bat first. On that wicket someone needed to bat through, so Naim's was a very good innings. I think 170 should be enough for us."

Sri Lanka would be a bit disappointed though. They ended up giving away 84 from the last eight overs. And now they batters have a task at their hands. We will be back with the chase in a bit. Stay tuned.

Kumara to Afif Hossain, OUT, that looks out. Good work from Kumara to field it in his follow-through and hit the stumps direct to find the batter short.
