No getting away from Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka crushed Bangladesh in the second Test and despite some signs of resistance in their second innings, it's virtually impossible to see anything other than another win for the home side when the third and final Test begins in Colombo on Wednesday.

Unfortunately, you're not going to get rich backing Sri Lanka as bet365 make them 1/9 (1.11) favorites, a price which might be even shorter if the series had not already been decided.

Bangladesh are an enormous 40/1 to win, while the draw is a 9/2 chance - and only the weather or a huge change in fortunes makes that a likely outcome.

The visitors have only ever won one Test in their short history - against Zimbabwe in January 2005 and though they are slowly improving, victories at Test level are still incredibly hard to come by.

Fresh from his double-century in the second Test, Kumar Sangakkara is the obvious favourite to be his side's top runscorer in the first innings. Bet365 make him 3/1, just ahead of Mahela Jayawardene, who is 10/3.

Openers Michael Vandort and Malinda Warnapura are both 9/2, with Upul Tharanga 5/1 and Chamara Silva and Tillekeratne Dilshan each 13/2.

Mohammad Ashraful is rewarded for his unbeaten hundred in the second innings last week with favouritism in the Bangladesh market, at 7/2.

Javed Omar is 4/1, Rajin Saleh is next at 9/2, while Habibul Bashar and Shahriar Nafees are both 5/1, just ahead of Saqibul Hasan and Tushar Imran, each at 6/1.

Muttiah Muralitharan continues to mop up Test victims like they are going out of fashion and the spinner is the 4/1 favourite to be man of the match.

However, these awards seem to go to the player hitting the big innings more often than not and Sangakkara is perhaps better value at 9/2.
