SLA 1ST

OUT! Caught. Taijul Islam to Asitha Fernando. Stock ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on, caught by Anik. That's it. Sri Lanka has been bowled out for 458 runs. After a dominating performance by the Sri Lankan batters on Day 2, they struggled to maintain their momentum today, despite Kusal Mendis contributing some crucial runs in the end but fell 16 runs short of his century. The Bangladesh bowlers delivered a strong combined effort, with Taijul Islam standing out by taking five wickets. Nayeem Hasan also bowled effectively, claiming three wickets for his team. Will the Sri Lankan spinners be able to replicate this performance? Let's find out.

Useful contributions from the middle and down the order helped post a competitive total. For the hosts, Asitha Fernando and Sonal Dinusha led the attack with three wickets each, while Tharindu Ratnayake claimed two wickets to his name. The visitors now aim to wrap up the home side quickly and push for a decisive result.

Prabath Jayasuriya bagged his 12th five-wicket haul, while Dhananjaya de Silva and Tharindu Rathnayake took two wickets each to wrap up the game. The visitors couldn't build partnerships and fell well short of making Sri Lanka bat again. They will look to bounce back in the upcoming ODI and T20I series.

Bangladesh is in a difficult position, and the batters will need to occupy the crease if they are to get back into this match. At present, Lition Das is unbeaten at the crease and will look to make a partnership with the new batter to chase down the score on Day 4. Will the home side continue their dominance, or will the visitors come back stronger on Day 4? Let's see, join us for tomorrow's live action.

They will aim to avoid losing any more wickets in the final session of the day. In contrast, Sri Lanka will look to start the next session strongly after achieving a breakthrough on the last ball before the tea break. Join us in 20 minutes.
