13.6 : Bangladesh:105/4

13.6: D Gunathilaka to T Iqbal, OUT! Great, great catch by Kusal Perera. Another superb effort behind the wickets. Gunathilaka serves a flighted full ball around off, spinning away a bit, Tamim advances down the track for a lofted shot over covers but fails to middle it properly. Takes a fine edge and hurries to the keeper. He fails to grab it first as the ball hits him on the left shoulder and pops in front of him. He, then, tries to catch but it once again bounces off his gloves this time, hits him on the grille of the helmet before settling down in his mitts. He doesn't bother to go for stumping, straightaway jumps in appeal and the finger has gone up as well. Massive setback to Bangladesh and the crowd in Colombo is going bonkers. What an atmosphere!

12.3: A Aponso to M Rahim, OUT! Commentator's curse? Just as we were praising the way Bangladesh were going about their chase they lose a wicket. And it's of the man in red hot form. Mushfiqur Rahim. Aponso gives this air, Rahim charges down and looks to go over covers but hits it straight to Thisara stationed there. He hit it well and the ball was traveling, a very good catch by Perera who times his jump to perfection. Aponso does the snake dance while giving Rahim a send-off.
