Bangladesh 2nd Innings

8:00 AM IST That's it from this game! Another Test follows and that begins on the 30th of March. Do join us for all the action. Till then, goodbye and take care.

7:59 AM IST Dhananjaya de Silva, Man of the Match! He is very happy for the way he played. Adds the wicket had something in it for the pacers and they needed to play late. Credits the way Kamindu played. Reckons there wasn't much help in the second innings but the pacers did well. Ends by saying he is looking forward for the next game.

7:56 AM IST Najmul Hossain Shanto creidts Dhananjaya and Kamindu for the way they played. Adds he is proud of his pacers for the way they bowled. Mentions they need to improve their new ball batting. Admits they need a lot to work on in the next game and he hopes they can come back strongly. Ends by crediting Haque for the way he played.

7:55 AM IST Fernando and Kumara ran through the top order of Bangladesh and managed to take five wickets at the end of Day 3. Day 4 was all about Rajitha as he picked a fifer and gave his side a massive win. Haque was the only one who showed some fight with the bat for Bangladesh, the rest just surrendered. Bangladesh will be very disappointed with their performance and Sri Lanka will be very pleased.

7:54 AM IST The Bangla pacers yet again managed to get early wickets but it was Dhananjaya and Kamindu yet again who came to the fore for Lanka. They scored tons again and gave Bangladesh a target of 500.

7:52 AM IST Then the pacers came to the fore as they took all 10 wickets and helped the visitors take a lead close to 100. Taijul Islam fought hard with the bat or the lead could have been a lot more.

7:52 AM IST That is an outstanding effort from Lanka. A thumping win for them to take a 1-0 lead in this series. Except for the initial sessions, it was all about Lanka in this game. They were in trouble after being inserted. They were around 50 for 5 but then came a massive stand of over 200 between Dhananjaya and Kamindu. Both scored tons and helped their side to a competitive total.

6:08 AM IST Sri Lanka had to toil hard in this session. The wicket has gotten easier to bat on and the key will be to remain patient. Rajitha was really good and they'll hope the others can pick wickets too and finish this quickly. Join us for what could be the last session of this game in a bit.

6:06 AM IST A shared session but Sri Lanka are well, well ahead in the game! They lost Taijul early but then Hasan and Haque put up a fifty plus stand. Haque has showed a lot of grit and is nearing a half ton. Hasan fell but Islam hung around and ensured there are no more wickets to fall before the break. Bangladesh will hope they can continue the fight for longer.

4:00 AM IST Time for the action to begin!

3:03 AM IST The Lankans are well and truly in the driver's seat at the moment and are in pole position to take 1-0 lead. Just the five wickets is what they need and they'll be wanting to end this quickly. Bangladesh on the other hand, have lacked character so far but we really hope they come out fighting and delay the inevitable. Welcome to the coverage of what could be the final day of this Test.

3:01 AM IST ... DAY 4, SESSION 1 ...

11:38 AM IST The whole day intact was about the Lankans. First it was Dhananjaya and Mendis. The two piled on the misery on the hosts and took the lead to 500 and then they had a few overs to bowl to the hosts and Fernando ran through the top order. More of the same is what Lanka would want on Day 4. They would love to end this in the first session itself. Bangladesh on the other hand, will be hoping to show some fight. Can their batters sbke some resilience or is it going to be a quick wrap up? We will find out on Day 4. Do join us for all the action. Till then, goodbye and take care!

11:36 AM IST We don't really need to mention which side is on top at the moment. Sri Lanka have bosses this Test so far and they couldn't have asked for a better mini session towards the end of Day 3. Bangladesh on the other hand, have just surrendered. Their batters just couldn't handle the heat Fernando was bowling with and they've lost five wickets in 13 overs.
