Smart fielding effort from Kusal Mendis gave te visitors another wicket as Taijul Islam got run out for 1. Mushfiqur Rahman was adjudged LBW on the very next ball from Dilruwan Perera as Bangladesh were bowled out for 110, giving Sri Lanka a lead of 112 runs. Sri Lanka lost Kusal Mendis immediately after Lunch. Dimuth Karunaratne and Dhananjaya de Silva took the lead over 150 after which the latter was dismissed by Taijul Islam for 28. After Mustafizur Rahman dismissed Danushka Gunathilaka before tea, while Dinesh Chandimal and Dimuth Karunaratne were dismissed in the third session.
