5.25pm The two ends of the day were delicate and disastrous. Dinesh Chandimal took Sri Lanka out of a slippery slope of an overnight score of 238 for 7, and placed them on the comfortable footing of 338. Then Bangladesh did what they have done so regularly in 2016 - given away a good start and looked like a team hell-bent on self-destruction.Bizarre last half hour, really. They were on cruise control until poor shot selection and Sandakan's magic has given Sri Lanka more than just a shout at taking at lead and with it the advantage. The decision to send in a nightwatchman spectacularly backfired. That means Mushfiqur and Shakib will have a lot of batting to do as Bangladesh try to whittle down the led. The surface has eased out, but we've often see how the ball behaves strangely early in the day, and so they'll have to bat with a degree of caution if they are to keep Bangladesh in the hunt for a lead. Join us at 9.30am for what should be a decisive day in this Test.
