2.5 to Javed Omar, first blood to Malinga, short of a length on middle stump, straightens after pitching, Omar stays on the backfoot, trapped at the crease, the ball would have hit middle and leg. 10/1

35.2 to Tushar Imran, de Silva is rewarded for keeping it outside off, pitched up, moving away, Imran goes for the drive but doesn't get to the pitch of the ball, the thick outside edge is pouched by Jayawardene at second slip. 98/5
39.5 to Mohammad Ashraful, Ashraful falls for the trap, de Silva pitches it on off stump on a good length, Ashraful goes for the cover drive and a thick outside edge is taken by Prasanna Jayawardene, no doubt about that one. 111/6

12.4 to Habibul Bashar, that just sliced him in half! Maharoof fired that one in on a good length on off stump, the ball jagged back in at a good pace, Bashar just withdrew his bat and the umpire was convinced that the ball nicked his glove en route to the keeper. 50/2
14.562861.88765000
21.4 to Rajin Saleh, it's that doosra again, Muralitharan lands it on the right length outside off stump, Saleh gets forward to defend, the ball gets a thick outside edge and Jayawardene at slip takes it low, comfortably taken. 61/3
25.6 to Shahriar Nafees, Nafees gets frustrated, tossed up outside off stump, Nafees's left foot is rooted to the crease while his right foot was stretched across pointing towards mid-on, he tries to hoick it over mid-off, Sujeeva de Silva takes it with ease. 64/4
42.4 to Mashrafe Mortaza, that was worth driving miles to see! tossed up on off stump, Mortaza indide edges it onto the pads, scoops it back to Murali who runs to his left with his outstretched left arm, dives and takes it one handed. 118/7
46.1 to Mohammad Rafique, that was a give-away, on off stump, Rafique goes for a wild slog sweep against the turn, gets the top-edge and Murali takes the easiest of return catches. 130/8
46.5 to Shahadat Hossain, tossed up on off stump, Shahadat gets forward to defend, gets a thick inside edge onto his pads, easy take for forward short leg (Dilshan). 131/9
48.5 to Syed Rasel, the change of attack works, tossed up on off stump, Rasel gets forward to defend, another inside edge strikes the pad and is picked up by Chamara Silva at silly point. 131/10

13.2 to WU Tharanga, pitches on off stump and angles into Tharanga who gets on to the front foot and offers no shot, the ball hits the pad on the knee roll and that's an easy decision for umpire Shastri to make. 47/1
21.5 to MG Vandort, bowled him! Rasel pitches it on a good length outside the off stump, Vandort drives a little away from his body off the front foot leaving a gap between bat and pad, the ball cuts in through the bat-pad gap and grazes the top of the bail, it just about touched the bail but the impact was just enough to dislodge it. 74/2
87.2 to DPMD Jayawardene, caught! Would you believe it, finally Bangladesh get a wicket. Jayawardene tries to hit Rasel through the line over mid off, the ball hits the high part of the bat and spoons up to Ashraful who takes an easy catch at mid off, a wicket falls totally against the run of play. 385/3
