Bangladesh had a way better of the mornings in Dhaka, getting the ultimate 2 wickets for just 67 runs in conditions that were only helping spin and reverse swing now.
Shakib Al Hasan took off with the immensely important wicket of Dimuth Karunarathne in the first hour itself, the Sri Lanka captain up to this point being the side's pillar.
Shakib, bowling around the wicket, got the ball to turn in strongly and beat Karunarathne through the door in an ordinary left-armer's dismissal. It made a difference when Bangladesh began the session on a culminating note, with Ebadot Hossain bowling nightwatchman Kasun Rajitha with just the second ball of the day.
