    Mehidy c Asalanka b Theekshana 3 (269-7)

    There goes another.

    Mehidy Hasan is trying to end this quickly but he has heaved the ball straight to Charith Asalanka at long-off.

    They couldn't, could they?

    Sri Lanka have just lost the plot a little bit in the last couple of balls.

  3. Ban 268-6published at 40 overs

    Two singles, a wide, a six and a three from that over.

    Just 12 needed now. The Bangladesh fans in the crowd are starting to celebrate.

    That will settle some nerves.

    That is such a good shot. The hand speed initially but then he's still when he makes contact.

    Ban 263-6published at 39.3 overs

    Singles? Fours? Pah, Towhid Hridoy is dealing exclusively in sixes.

    He has absolutely mullered the ball off over the fine leg boundary and into the stands.

    Chris Silverwood is giving his team a good old clap.

    Mahmudullah played nicely but the way Banglaesh have been trying to chase this down is because of the net run-rate because of seeking that Champions Trophy place.

    At what point do they said 'stop worrying about net run-rate and concentrate on the win'? With four wickets left they can continue to go for now.

    Is there another twist?

    Mahmudullah b Theekshana 22 (Ban 255-6)

    Another one goes!

    It it is very full, near yorker length. Mahmudullah appeared to misread it as he set himself up for a big shot before changing his mind, but he couldn't quite jam his bat down in time.

    That was a great shot.

    I am really enjoying the way that Bangladesh are going about this run chase. They are not taking their foot off.

    I am not enjoying all the carry on between the two sides though. I feel for the umpires, they've been under the pump.

    There is a statement of intent immediately.

    Target 280

    New batter Towhid Hridoy is having none of it.

    He has just his second delivery back over the bowler's head for six.

    That is sensational bowling. He's had another cracking day and has stood way above all the over Sri Lanka bowlers in this tournament.

    Maybe there is a little twist to come in this game. Maybe it is a little too late. We'll find out.

    Mushfiqur b Madushanka 10 (Ban 249-5)

    Bowled him!

    That's a brilliant delivery from Dilshan Madushanka.

    The left-armer goes around the wicket and angles one in to Mushfiqur, who is trapped in his crease. The ball jags in a touch off the surface to cramp Mushfiqur for room, beat his defences and clatter into the stumps.

    That is a top-class shot. It's a nice place to be as a batter when you can say 'I'm just going to enjoy myself now'. You don't get that many times as an international cricketer.

    This is an outstanding shot. It is one of great authority. It is a procession now.

    Target 280

    Bangladesh are racing along. Sri Lanka look beaten.

    A weary-looking leg-side delivery from Dushmantha Chameera flicks off Mahmudullah's pads and away for four byes.

    Mahmudullah then dismissively crunches the ball over deep mid-wicket for a one-bounce four.

    The next shot is even better!

    Mahmudullah skips down the the track and loft the ball over the covers.

    15 off the over. Just 33 runs needed now.

    It has been a really well-judged chase so far. As long as Bangladesh have no rushes of blood to the head they should get over the line comfortably.

    Here is Angelo Mathews' second wicket as Hossain Shanto departed for 90.

    No 'clock watching' celebration this time though, sadly.
