Bangladesh FTW.

Sri Lanka finished up the day right on top at 4/296, an overall lead of 472 runs.

Dilshan is on 81 and Samaraweera is on 72. These two have put on 131 runs so far for the 5th wicket.

Sangakkara was the last man to fall who was bowled by Ashraful for 54.

Sri Lanka will probably attack for a session and then set Bangladesh an impossible target.

Shakib gets the first wicket of the day and Samaraweera is gone for 77.

Sri Lanka 5/312, an overall lead of 488 runs.

Dilshan was dismissed for 143. That means he scored over 300 runs for the test. A fantastic effort.

With 10 minutes until lunch Sri Lanka are 6/426 which is an overall lead of 602 runs. I'm not sure why they haven't declared yet. They obviously have nothing to do tomorrow.

Sri Lanka have finally declared at 6/447 giving Bangladesh a chase of 624 runs to win the match.

Kapugedera was left on 59 and Vaas on 20.

Hopefully Bangladesh can make a total similar to what they got in the 4th innings of the last match.

At Tea Bangladesh are 5/62.

Mendis has 3 wickets so far.

This is pathetic. Bangladesh should be kicked out of test cricket after this effort.

Simply not good enough, they are better than this.

Bangladesh have just lost 3/10 to be 8/155. Amazingly Dilshan has taken those 3 wickets.

Shakib has been the top score with 46 and currently Rahim is on 41.

Jolldo87 · 6 Jan 2009, 04:16

Bangladesh were bowled out for 158 giving Sri Lanka a 465 run win.

Dilshan ended up with bowling of 4/10 off 4.2 overs after his tons in each innings.

Shocking from Bangladesh and questions must be asked about their position playing test cricket.

They aren't. Bangladesh are a terrible side, to score 465 runs less than your opposition is just an insipid effort.

I really can't see them going anywhere in the next ten years. They are just that bad.
