Commentary
- Bangladesh's response in their second innings was lackluster, losing Anamul Haque early and struggling to stay afloat. They kept on losing wickets regularly. Anamul Haque and Mominul Haque were short of runs throughout the series but Shanto, Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz's wickets have put this game to bed. Litton Das has the tail to wag with. With a massive lead, Sri Lanka is poised for a win, and it seems like Day 4 might be the final day of this Test. Unless there's a miraculous turnaround, Bangladesh faces an uphill battle to avoid an innings defeat. Join us for the action of Day 4 at 4.30 am GMT and earlier for the build up. Goodbye for now.
- What an action-packed day of cricket! Sri Lanka dominated the morning, with Pathum's 158 setting the tone. Despite losing early wickets, they managed to build a strong foundation. Kusal Mendis' 84-run knock helped them stretch their lead to 211, as Sri Lanka got bowled out for 458 in their first innings. Pathum's knock stood out, while Chandimal and Mendis missed out on well-deserved centuries.
- 38.4WTharindu Rathnayake to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, OUT! LBW! Tossed up around off, it doesn't spin and straightens off the deck. Mehidy Hasan Miraz goes back to defend but plays it inside the line. Gets pinged right in front. An appeal but the finger stays down. Sri Lanka review. No bat involved. Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS! Mehidy Hasan Miraz goes potentially in the final over of the play. Yes, that will be the final ball of Day 3.
- Sri Lanka get the reward and that will be the final ball of the day. It's Stumps on Day 3.
