Mathews-Chandimal and seamers put Sri Lanka in driving seat 

26 May 2022

An exciting final day is on the cards after Sri Lanka took a stranglehold of the game against Bangladesh on the fourth day in Dhaka. The twin tons from the two experienced batters gave Sri Lanka a massive lead of 141. The bowlers then did significant damage in the final hour of play as Bangladesh limped in at 34/4 at stumps, trailing by 107 runs.  Resuming the day at 282/5, still 83 behind Bangladesh, Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal started positively. The two batters went unscathed into the break having added 87 runs to the overnight score, giving Sri Lanka a slender lead of four runs. After the break, Mathews was extremely watchful in his 90s, taking 27 balls to go from 93 to his second century of the series. At the other end, Chandimal, who took 118 balls to get to his half-century, was a lot more aggressive after the milestone. His next 50 runs came in just 63 balls as he brought up his 12th Test ton. After tea, Lankans tried to push for runs but wickets fell along the way and Mathews was left stranded on 145*. Bangladesh had a tricky hour to see off before stumps, and endured a horror start to their second innings when Tamim Iqbal fell for a duck, collecting a pair in the match. Two overs later, a direct hit from Praveen Jayawickrama sent Najmul Hossain Shanto back to the hut. Mominul Haque followed him back in the very next over for a duck. Asitha Fernando produced a belter of a delivery that had Mahmudul Hasan fending, leaving Kusal Mendis with a simple catch at slip. Bangladesh were reduced to 23/4 before Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das ensured there was no further damage.
