  2. Ban 60-3 (Anamul 17, Mahmudullah 9)published at 08:38 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    There is still life in Bangladesh. Mahmudullah claims his first boundary with a flick through square leg off Mathews. He then claims four leg byes courtesy of a loose ball down leg. Regarding the Sri Lanka referral earlier, apparently there was a technical problem with Snicko, meaning it could not be used, and so their referral has been restored.

  3. Vaas and Atapattu honouredpublished at 08:34 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    A bit of Sri Lanka news - former captain (and current coach) Marvan Atapattu and ex-seam bowler Chaminda Vaas have both been handed honorary life membership of MCC in recognition of their playing achievements.

    They will be donning their stripy ties alongside 11 other Sri Lankan honorary members, including Kumar Sangakkara and Muttiah Muralitharan.

  4. Ban 49-3 (Mahmudullah 3, Anamul 16)published at 08:34 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Bangladesh have had the wind completely taken out of their sails. It could have got even worse for them as well as Anamul pokes a drive just a yard over the outstretched hand of Dilshan at point. Then, in the final ball the same batsman looks to push a shot over mid-off but doesn't catch it and is only rescued by a drop from Mathews.

    In case you've just joined us, you've missed a batting masterclass from two Sri Lankan old-timers. Tillakaratne Dilshan posted his highest ODI score with an unbeaten 161, while Kumar Sangakkara scored a sublime 105 not out off 76 balls in his 400th one-day international.

  6. Ban 46-3 (runs required 287)published at 08:30 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Mathews continues, trying to press home Sri Lanka's advantage. It is another tidy over that goes for just two runs, from the first ball. Interesting to see Mahmudullah come out at five. Usually, Shakib Al Hasan fills that spot, but he is still to appear.

  7. Ban 44-3 (Mahmudullah 1, Anamul 13)published at 08:28 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    You can't take your eyes off this match for a minute. Boundaries, dropped catches, bizarre referrals and wickets; we've had it all in the seven overs so far. Bangladesh need to consolidate here. Not that they've got much time to do so. They still need 289 runs. Mahmudullah is the new man and he is quickly off the mark with a single.

  8. WICKETpublished at 08:23 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Who needs a referral? Monimul goes next ball as he slices a short ball straight to Mahela Jayawardene at slip. Bangladesh are falling apart.

  9. Umpire reviewpublished at 08:22 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Lakmal returns in place of Malinga and sparks a referral with his first ball, which Sri Lanka believe Monimul Haque nicked with the bottom of his bat. Snicko is not shown and it is given not out, much to the bemusement and frustration of the Sri Lankan players.

  10. WICKETpublished at 08:18 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Angelo Mathews takes an executive decision to remove Lakmal from the attack and bring himself on. It doesn't stem the boundaries, though as Anamul pulls a short delivery for six over backward point. Mathews hits back, though, as Sarkar chases a fullish, wide delivery - the fifth of the over - and edges to Sangakkara. It brings an end to a promising partnership and ushers Mominul Haque to the crease.

    Jon Benger:, external Swann's comment at 07:48 shows how out of touch the #ECB are. We wanted good attacking cricket, not huddles!!

  12. Ban 33-1 (Anamul 6, Sarkar 25)published at 08:13 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Malinga starts round the wicket to the left-handed Sarkar before switching back to over two balls in. It almost has an immediate impact with the batsman chipping the ball just a yard over the outstretched hand of a diving Lahiru Thirimanne at short midwicket. It results in one of the two singles taken off the over.

  13. Ban 31-1 (Sarkar 24, Anamul 5)published at 08:08 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Bangladesh continue to attack with Sarkar punching a drive through cover for four off Lakmal before lofting a drive past mid-off for another boundary. He makes it a hat-trick with a superb checked drive, much to the delight of the Bangladesh fans in the rapidly-filling MCG stands. Bangladesh have responded very well to the early wicket.

  14. Ban 17-1 (Sarkar 11, Anamul 5)published at 08:04 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Malinga bounds in for his second over, keeping it full and economical early on before a short delivery is dispatched through square leg for four by Anamul for the only runs of the over.

  15. Ban 13-1 (Anamul 1, Sarkar 11)published at 08:00 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Well, Bangladesh are trying to take the game to Sri Lanka. They have no choice really, with the total they have to chase down. Sarkar drives through point for four before picking up a single.

  16. Dropped catchpublished at 07:58 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Suranga Lakmal is Malinga's opening partner with the ball for Sri Lanka. And in his second delivery he tempts a loose shot from Anamul to sky the ball inside the circle. Dilshan gets under it but doesn't even get a finger on it as the ball goes down. Not even tiredness can excuse that.

  17. Ban 6-1 (Anamul 0, Sarkar 6)published at 07:55 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    The left-handed Soumya Sarkar is the new man and he is greeted to the crease with a nasty swinging delivery from Malinga that smacks him on the toes. Sarkar gets his revenge, though, with a straight drive past the bowler for four to get himself and his team on the board before taking the last ball for two.

  18. WICKETpublished at 07:51 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    Lasith Malinga starts for Sri Lanka and starts in the best possible way with a ball of decent length that nips through the defence of Tamim Iqbal and cleans him up second ball. Bangladesh's task has just gone from big to massive.

    "With England, the huddle was done basically for the crowd to look at - the captain and coach would say it was for team unity, but it wasn't..."

  20. Postpublished at 07:48 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2015

    The Sri Lankans are huddled up on the pitch as Angelo Mathews delivers some motivational words. Here come the Bangladesh openers, Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque.
