    If you missed any of the action earlier, Bangladesh reached 171-4, largely thanks to a stunning knock of 57 from 37 balls from Mushfiqur.

    Target 172

    Four more! This time Mustafizur Rahman gets a ball to kick up viciously off the surface but it's Asalanka's day - the ball glances off the outside edge and down to the third man boundary.

    13 from that over and Sri Lanka continue to charge.

    Sri Lanka need to motor on a bit and control this passage of play, like Bangladesh did.

  4. SL 58-1published at 6.1 overs

    Mustafizur Rahman comes into the attack and is greeted by a glorious cover drive for four from Asalanka. He's shown real power in this innings so far but that was a shot of class.

    Sri Lanka lost just one wicket in the powerplay - Kusal Perera perishing in the first over. It hasn't bothered them too much, though ...

  6. SL 54-1published at 6 overs

    Asalanka 32, Nissanka 19

    A brilliant powerplay for Sri Lanka comes to an end. Can they maintain this run-rate with more fielders out on the boundary, or is it an opportunity for Bangladesh to fight back?

    This is brilliant! Very smart cricket by these two, they are targeting the right bowler, opting for someone bringing the ball into them. The pressure is on Bangladesh.

    Mahedi Hasan is copping it here.

    Nissanka comes down the track and launches another six. It goes very, very high but still has the distance to clear the ropes and Sri Lanka are piling the pressure on.

    Very good start for Sri Lanka, they will be very happy with this. There's been some wonderful batting, especially from Asalanka, he has really put the pressure on the spinners.

    Thanks, Amy!

    And what a start for my stint here as Nissanka gets down on one knee and slog sweeps to the boundary. A stunning start for Sri Lanka!

    And with that, I'll take my leave and look for somewhere to deliver me a roast dinner.

    Ffion Wynne is your girl for the rest of this run chase.

    Shakib will try and bowl as flat as possible, not giving any flight for the batters to work with.

  13. SL 39-1published at 5 overs

    Target 172

    Pathum Nissanka advances to Shakib's first delivery and inside edges it juuuust past his stumps.

    Charith Asalanka sends a nice-looking sweep away for a couple, before Shakib ends the over with a half-hearted lbw appeal agains Nissanka.

    Now then.

    Here's Shakib.

    Asalanka is on a mission!

  16. SL 34-1published at 4 overs

    Asalanka 27, Nissanka 5

    That's a better bit of fielding in the deep, this time from Liton Das, who parries the ball back to keep Sri Lanka to a single.

    That's definitely four, though, Charith Asalanka whipping a ball with aplomb off his pads to beat the man at square leg.

    You can sense the urgency in Nissanka here. Sri Lanka have got a good start but they know they can't afford to be behind the run-rate at the end of the powerplay.

    Here's Mohammad Saifuddin with a bit of seam.

    Target 172

    Nasum Ahmed gets through the rest of the over without too much more damage.

    Charith Asalanka is on 21 from just 10 balls!
