  1. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special

    Rajapaksa is single handedly turning this game towards Sri Lanka!

  2. 6 runs

    SL 138-4

    Need 34 to win from 28 balls

    Carnage! Rajapaksa is playing a gem of a cameo here, this time picking a slower ball from outside off stump and launching it into the stands!

  3. 6 runs

    SL 132-4

    Need 40 to win from 29 balls

    Nope.

    Saifuddin continues, loses his line and Rajapaksa hammers it high, high in the air for six over square leg.

  4. SL 126-4

    Need 46 to win from 30 balls

    This could go either way.

    One wicket changes it for Sri Lanka but Asalanka is cruising and Rajapaksa supporting him very nicely. Time for Shakib to bowl for Bangladesh before it's too late?

  5. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    He drops an absolute dolly. If you are playing international cricket in a World Cup, you have got to take it every single time.

  6. dropped catch

    Asalanka dropped on 63

    Wow! How costly could this prove to be?!

    Asalanka goes for a big shot, slashed over cover and it's Litton Das again who's dropped it.

    He's rushing in from the boundary but he gets there in time and with two hands to it - should definitely have been taken.

  7. Mustafizur to bowl for Bangladesh. Can he break this partnership?

  8. SL 122-4

    Need 51 from 36 balls to win

    Just the over that Sri Lanka needed - 16 from it.

  9. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    He is hammering everything thrown at him, picking the right shot.

  10. 6 runs

    SL 119-4

  11. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's gone about 20 rows back! What an innings he is playing.

  12. 6 runs

    SL 112-4

    Asalanka's carnage continues! He thumps Mahmudullah straight back over his head and into the stands.

    Good tactics from Sri Lanka here, knowing they need to capitalise on these overs with Shakib Al Hasan's two overs to come.

  13. Here's how Sri Lanka compare to Bangladesh at their stage of the innings ... too close to call?

    The worm shows Sri Lanka are nine runs ahead of Bangladesh. Sri Lanka are 105 for 4 after 13 overs. At the same stage Bangladesh were 96 for 2.

  14. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    It looks like he is having cramp. The physio is sprinting - it's a great sight, what if he pulls a muscle?

  15. A bit of a delay in proceedings as the Sri Lankan physio comes on to the field. Perhaps a bit of cramp? It does look baking hot out there.

  16. Sri Lanka were cruising before Shakib struck with two wickets in an over. The game is nicely poised at the moment, but a big win for Bangladesh is that he still has two overs left to bowl.

  17. SL 105-4

    Target 172

    And breathe!

    An eventful over comes to an end that gave us a six, a dropped catch for four and Asalanka's 50.

    Sri Lanka need 67 to win from 42 balls.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Asalanka

    A single brings up a wonderful half-century for Charith Asalanka. He started aggressively in the powerplay before adjusting and steadying the ship as they lost quick wickets.

    Perfectly judged - can he steer Sri Lanka to victory?

  19. Carlos Brathwaite
    West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Could this be the over that turns it in the favour of Sri Lanka?

  20. dropped catch

    Rajapakse dropped on 14

    SL 102-4

    Is this the over that gets Sri Lanka back in the game?! Liton Das misjudges the ball on the boundary as Rajapakse goes for a slog sweep and parries it over the ropes for four.

    Big moment!
