Bangladesh 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
Javed Omar	c Samaraweera b Malinga	4	3	5	1	0	80.00
0.5 first strike! short of a good length delivery, pitched close to the off stump line and swinging away, excellent line and length and Omar had no option but to play at it, edge is produced and the ball goes straight Samaraweera at first slip - Bangladesh one down 4/1
Nafees Iqbal	b Bandara	34	109	109	4	0	31.19
26.6 Bandara strikes straightaway! flat delivery on the stumps, turning away from the right-hander, Iqbal goes down on one knee looking to slog it away through midwicket but gets nowhere with the wild swing and the off stump is pegged back - that was a bad choice of shot with just few minutes to go for lunch, bowling change works for Jayawardene! 76/2
Habibul Bashar*	lbw b Bandara	29	112	52	3	0	55.76
28.1 quick and full on the stumps, probably straightened a bit, Habibul Bashar pushes forward to defend and gets hit on the pad, loud appeal and up goes the finger - Bandara on a hat-trick here! 81/3
Shahriar Nafees	b Maharoof	27	78	62	4	0	43.54
46.4 got'm! short of a good length delivery on the middle and off stump line, angling across the left-hander, Nafees is cramped for room but goes through with the cut shot, ball clips the inner half of the bat and crashes into the stumps, Maharoof with the breakthrough 146/4
Mohammad Ashraful	c Tharanga b Muralitharan	136	250	184	15	3	73.91
86.1 tossed up on the stumps, Ashraful quickly goes down on one knee and slogs with the break, fails to time it properly and the ball flies off the top edge to the deep midwicket region, Tharanga in the deep judges it to perfection - end of an epic innings! 308/8
Khaled Mashud†	lbw b Muralitharan	6	75	50	0	0	12.00
63.6 gone! bowled from round the stumps, Murali fires it in at a fuller length, Mashud moves right across his stumps and is beaten by the extra pace, ball turns in just enough to beat the bat and Mashud is trapped plumb in front of the stumps, umpire Bucknor took his time and in the end adjudicated in favour of the bowler 210/5
Alok Kapali	c Tharanga b Muralitharan	16	36	25	2	0	64.00
71.5 and Murali strikes back! tossed up and turning in, Kapali pushes forward to defend and ends up with a faint edge onto the pad and the ball pops up straight to Tharanga at short leg, loud appeal and up goes the finger - that was a surprisingly quick decision from umpire Bucknor 248/6
Mohammad Rafique	b Malinga	17	41	33	3	0	51.51
81.3 bowled'm! good length delivery on the middle and off stump line, this one held its line after hitting the deck, Rafique plays all over it and the off stump is pegged back, Malinga strikes with the new ball - Bangladesh seven down 293/7
