Welcome back for the final session! Three slips and a gully in place
14:44 Local Time, 08:44 GMT, 14:14 IST: That will be Tea on Day 2. That wicket right at the stroke of the break will lift Bangladesh's spirit. Nonetheless, Sri Lanka are in a fairly strong position here after claiming a 92-run first innings lead. Earlier, they bowled well to keep Bangladesh down to 188. It could've easily been a lot fewer had it not been for some lusty blows from Khaled Ahmed and Shoriful Islam, they shared a crucial 40-run stand. Thereafter, it looked like Sri Lanka would get through the session unscathed but Rana produced a beautiful delivery to get rid of Madushka. Sri Lanka still very much ahead in the game though. We'll be back after the break.
