"It's all about being disciplined at this venue. The wicket is a little quicker than Galle. It's not a pitch where you can't score runs, but you cannot take things for granted. Natural variation comes in. The ball was skidding on from the length area. The Sri Lankan bowlers know this conditions, so you need to be disciplined", Russell Arnold says.
Prabath Jayasuriya strikes and removes the key wicket of Litton Das with the Bangladesh batter edging a simple one to Kusal Mendis. Bangladesh withering away now, as Sri Lanka are three wickets away from sealing series 2-0.
