that's it! Leading edge to cover and so Sri Lanka have swept the tour, winning the one-day series as well! Good length ball turning in on off stump, he had shuffled across to clip it through midwicket, but had closed the face too early and succumbs

8.35 pm So that's all we have for you from commentary. Sri Lanka wrap up a well-deserved victory and take an unassailable 2-0 lead. But there is still one more ODI left in the series. That starts Saturday, same time so we look forward to your company and your comments then. But for now, This is Alagappan Muthu saying sayonara
Kumar Sangakkara is the Man of the Match "No, I didn't know I had made 1000 runs against Bangladesh in ODIs. The wicket was pretty good and I was just trying to score as many runs as I can. Trained hard in the nets, made sure I was clear-minded out there and I just wanted to knock it to the sweepers and pick up the singles. The side needed a big knock and I'm glad I delivered. I wasn't worried. Ashan [Priyanjan] struggled a bit, but he fought it out. Angelo was the really important innings, came in and pushed things on. So did Kithuruwan. Just a bit of advice when he [Priyanjan] lost his focus. Keep it simple and don't throw it away. There are time to take risks but then we needed a partnership. He's a good player for us and if he gets his focus clear, he's going to be a player to watch. No secret, just good focus, working hard in the nets. Keeping fit and I'm part of a very good, young side"
"The boys played brilliantly," says Angelo Mathews. We were in a spot of bother when the veteran come in to bat and guided the innings wonderfully with Ashan Priyanjan. I'm enjoying my batting too. Getting it off the middle nicely. He [Priyanjan] bowled to me in the nets and I just couldn't play him so the move worked today. We got a bit more time to acclimatise for the Asia cup and hopefully we do well there too"
8.25 pm "Yeah, I guess the way the boys are getting out is really disappointing. When you get set especially while chasing 290, you should stay on" says Mushfiqur Rahim . "We were getting a couple of partnerships going with Nasir and Shakib, but we lost it. That is where we should learn from Sanga and Mathews. They batted really well. We lost a few early wickets, but we were never too far behind in the run-rate. We are playing for our country so the last match is still important and we will do our best to win"
8.15 pm It was a one-man show from Bangladesh as well, the only trouble was there was no one playing second fiddle to Mushfiqur Rahim's battling half-century. Bangladesh kept losing wickets through rather rash batting. It almost seemed as if Sri Lanka sat back and let the hosts implode. Very disciplined bowling from them, especially the spinners led by Sachithra Senanayake, who apart from his two wickets took two sharp catches as well. Stick around for the presentation.
Rajindra: "Sri Lanka Played cricket while Bangladesh played BASEBALL (except Mushfiqur Bhai). So today Cricket has won against BASEBALL! lol!!!"

Malinga to Mushfiqur, OUT
the extra ball does the trick for Sri Lanka. Mushi's steered it straight to point! He had kept out so many good yorkers, but this time he was searching for a single to retain strike. Tried to guide it to the left of point, but Senanayake dives to his left and snares a good, low catch. MIght well be the end of Bangladesh's chase tonight. Terrific innings from their captain, if only he'd had a little support

Mendis to Mortaza, OUT
so he'll go over midwicket, but he cannot clear the man in the deep. The search for a big hit consumes another Bangladesh batsman. Picks up the one that turns into him and slogs wildly but all he manages to do is drop it down the throat of Thisara Perera
