Chaminda Vaas was replaced bySujeewa de Silva , whileUpul Tharanga , recovered from a heel injury to take the place ofMalinda Warnapura .Farveez Maharoof came in forDilhara Fernando . Bangladesh made 2 changes to their side withSyed Rasel replacing Mohammad Sharif andTushar Imran in forMehrab Hossain Jnr .For the third time in this Test series
Mahela Jayawardene won the toss and chose to field. This meant thatJaved Omar andShahriar Nafees opened for Bangladesh.Lasith Malinga made an early breakthrough dismissing Omar lbw for 8 in the second over. This wicket would be the only wicket in the session asHabibul Bashar and Nafees batted until play was stopped due to rain and Bangladesh were on 44/1On the fourth ball after the rain interval Habibul Bashar was caught behind. This resulted in Bangladesh making slow progress scoring only 5 runs in 5 overs before play was interrupted by rain again. Play resumed with the score at 53/2 and Bangladesh struggled to get runs and went through 3 maiden overs.
Rajin Saleh was eventually removed, caught edging adoosra fromMuralitharan toMahela Jayawardene . Lack of scoring opportunities then saw Nafees take a rash shot which resulted in him being caught. This was the final wicket of the day and Bangladesh scored eight more runs in the day and the score was 72/4 at the end of day 1.Day 2
A wet outfield threatened to delay the start of play but sunny conditions insured that the game started at the planned time of 10:30. Bangladesh began the day at 72/4 with
Tushar Imran on 6 andMohammed Ashraful on 4. Steady progress was made with 20 runs scored of 5.3 overs before Imran was caught mistiming a drive shot. A boundary by Ashraful in the 37th over saw Bangladesh pass the 100 mark and the over finished 102/5. Shortly afterwards however Ashraful was caught behind with the score on a nelson and Bangladesh were 111/6. Bangladesh scored 20 runs for the final 4 wickets asMashrafe Mortaza andMohammad Rafique were caught and bowled byMuralitharan whileShahadat Hossain andSyed Rasel both went for a duck. At the end of Bangladesh's first inningsShahriar Nafees was the leading scorer with 29 runs, whileMuralitharan was the top wicket taker getting 6 wickets in the innings.The rest of the day was hampered by rain and bad light with Sri Lanka only managing to bat for 8.4 overs scoring a quick 30 without loss before the end of the day 2.
Day 3
The third day was dominated by Sri Lanka with scores of 165 and 222 by
Mahela Jayawardene andSangakkara respectively which included a 311 3rd wicket partnership.The day started well for Bangladesh as they got the early wickets of
Upul Tharanga andMichael Vandort .Upul Tharanga was bowled bySyed Rasel in the 14th over whileMichael Vandort was trapped lbw and Sri Lanka were 74/2.Mahela Jayawardene and Sangakkara then put on 311 for the 3rd wicket before Jayawardene was dismissed on 165 caught byMohammed Ashraful ofSyed Rasel 's bowling. Sangakkara was dropped byMohammed Ashraful on 188 but he managed to run outChamara Silva instead. On the 104th over Sangakkara made his second double century in the series hitting afull toss down square leg for 4. Quick batting byTillakaratne Dilshan and Sangakkara meant that Sri Lanka finished the day on 500/4.Day 4
Sri Lanka made an overnight declaration which meant that Bangladesh required 369 runs to avoid another innings defeat.Omar and Nafees opened for Bangladesh once again and showed some resistance scoring 47 before
Javed Omar edged a bouncer ofLasith Malinga and was caught in the 16th over by Sangakkara.Shahriar Nafees was the first Bangladeshi to get a half century in this Test reaching it in 70 balls. Soon afterHabibul Bashar wasbowled byMuralitharan and Bangladesh were 98/2. 6 more overs were played in the morning session before play was stopped due to rain and lunch was taken early with the score at 106/2.Soon after the restart
Shahriar Nafees is deceived by a spinning delivery and is out caught. Ashraful soon followed as he was trappt lbw with the score on 138/4. The next 4 runs then cost Bangladesh 2 wickets asMushfiqur Rahim was caught byUpul Tharanga at point whileRajin Saleh was caught behind going for aduck and Bangladesh were 142/6.Mashrafe Mortaza andTushar Imran made 24 runs for the 7th wicket before Mortaza's attempted six didn't carry and was caught at long on by the sub. The final 3 wickets went for 8 runs , with the final wicket ofSyed Rasel beingMuralitharan 's 700th wicket and Sri Lanka won by an innings and 193 runs.Muttiah Muralitharan was the man of the match with two 5 wicket hauls of 6/28 and 6/54 in the Test, getting his 20th 10-wicket haul in the process and had match figures of 12/82.Muttiah Muralitharan was also voted man of the series.ODI series
