- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 Mortaza strikes! He gets lovely inswing in to the left hander and lands it on a full length, he shuffles to work it across to the on side, exposes his legstump and he's trapped in front 0/120.5 nice reflexes from Mortaza, he cleverly bowls the slower ball which stops on the batsman, he shapes to work it past the bowler but only succeds in tamely chipping it back to him, he dives forward, tumbles and completes the catch 95/42.2 Mortaza's on fire! Mortaza gets that late inward movement again and cranks up the pace as well, he lands it on a yorker length and Sangakkara is very late in getting his bat down to keep it out and the ball crashes on to the off and middle stumps, the delivery is very similar to the one which claimed Tharanga 4/217.3 slower through the air and he gives it a lot of flight, Jayawardene bends his knee and slogs him with the turn down to Rubel at deep midwicket 75/327.3 the ball skids through and cramps him for room, he tries to cheekily dab it away but gets a thick inside edge on to his stumps, Bangladesh are doing well to restrict Sri Lanka here 130/725.4 he tucks it softly towards short midwicket, pushes the single, he challenges Raqibul who slides to his left and in one motion fires the throw to Mahmudullah who whips off the bails, the third umpire takes a look 124/526.6 he tries to pull a short ball straight over the bowler but it doesn't come off, he gets too early on the shot and the ball hits the top half of his bat and lobs tamely to Mortaza at mid=-on 128/628.6 the bowler wins this battle, he bangs it in short of a length outside the offstump, he swivels and tries to hook and gets a thick edge to the keeper, seemed like a soft dismissal 141/928.4 125 kph, he hits the deck hard and the batsman hooks him from the line of the offstump and tries to clear deep square leg, the ball seems to dip on Naeem but he falls forward and manages to hang on to it 135/830.3 he fires it on a full length on the offstump and Mendis shapes to smash that over the packed off side field but fails to get the desired elevation, he chips it to Ashraful who takes it over his head at short cover 147/10Extras14 (lb 3, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL147 all out (30.3 Overs, RR: 4.81)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Upul Tharanga, 0.3 ov), 2-4 (Kumar Sangakkara, 2.2 ov), 3-75 (Mahela Jayawardene, 17.3 ov), 4-95 (Sanath Jayasuriya, 20.5 ov), 5-124 (Jehan Mubarak, 25.4 ov), 6-128 (Angelo Mathews, 26.6 ov), 7-130 (Chamara Kapugedera, 27.3 ov), 8-135 (Nuwan Kulasekara, 28.4 ov), 9-141 (Thilan Thushara, 28.6 ov), 10-147 (Ajantha Mendis, 30.3 ov)
