6.5Fernando to M Bijoy31/1
Catch OUT. OUT! Caught (Sub). Asitha Fernando to Anamul Haque Bijoy. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, bottom edge in the air uncontrolled to short mid wicket. That will be Tea on Day 3. The Bangladesh openers looked solid, but Anamul Haque Bijoy's wicket at the end of the session disrupted their momentum, leaving them 180 runs behind. 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.

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.

Sri Lanka seal the series 1-0 with a clinical innings and 78 run win. Pathum Nissanka led the charge with a brilliant 158, setting up a dominant total. The Bangladesh bowlers struggled to contain the flow, and their batters collapsed under pressure against spin. 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. Pathum Nissanka bags a double honour, Player of the Match and Series.
