    Two sixes in three balls from Charith Asalanka!

    This is a great shot, Asalanka getting down early and slog-sweeping him way over the square leg fielder for six. It's hit the roof of the stadium!

    That's exactly what Sri Lanka need, it's a beautiful shot. They need to find ways of putting the pressure back on Bangladesh.

    Oh, hello!

    Charith Asalanka skips down the pitch to meet Nasum Ahmed's first ball of his latest over and lofts him over the boundary rope for a big 'un.

    Shakib Al-Hasan sets himself such high standards on the field but he's let his bowler down with that one.

    Taarget 172

    Mahedi Hasan will share opening bowling duties for Bangladesh.

    Charith Asalanka slog-sweeps him and Shakib, fielding down in the deep, makes an absolute mess of stopping the ball. He's ended up parrying it into the boundary rope for four.

    Bangladesh look as if they've carried the momentum from the back end of their batting innings into this one.

    Target 172

    Charith Asalanka is in at three for Sri Lanka.

    I wonder if Perera was just a bit too quick through that sweep. It felt a bit... wafty.

    He didn't commit to the shot at all, he picked the wrong length. It's a massive blow for Sri Lanka, Kusal Perera can be a very dangerous contender.

    Perera b Nasum 1 (SL 2-1)

    Gone! Big wicket!

    Oh, that's huge for Bangladesh. Kusal Perera goes down to sweep, misses, and the ball sneaks under the bat and clatters into the stumps. What a start!

    The keeper's not happy. A better throw might have had him in trouble.

    Kusal Perera gets a quick single and keeper Nurul Hasan is fuming with the throw from the man in the circle.

    Clonked to cover by Kusal Perera, and we're off.

    Left-armer Nasum Ahmed has the ball in his hand.

    Here we go...

    Here come the players.

    It'll be Kusal Perera and Pethum Nissanka to get things going for Sri Lanka first up.

    Naim and Mushfiqur were the keys for Bangladesh, making 62 and 57 respectively.

    They controlled the game from six to 15 overs, now the pressure is back on Sri Lanka.

    I reckon that's a few runs too far for Sri Lanka, but you never know.

    Bangladesh have just put themselves ahead with that last over. That was a fantastic knock by Mushfiqur.

    Mushfiqur walks off with a brilliant, unbeaten 57 to his name from 37 balls, with five fours and two sixes.

    Mahmudullah's 10 from five balls was also handy - especially as eight of those runs came from boundaries. Good strike rotating, too.

    Mushfiqur 57, Mahmudullah 10

    Mushfiqur Rahim finally nails a ramp shot off the final ball of the innings!

    It goes well over the keepers head for four, and that is a very, very good total from Bangladesh.
