        down the track looking to finish it off quickly, gets the height

        Mashrafe Mortaza comes in from the deep and takes it cleanly,
        Kapali strikes!

  24.1 Alok Kapali to Jayawardene, two runs, bit of width outside the off
        stump, Jayawardene cuts late and gets it down to third man
       And with that Sri Lanka have won the first ODI by 5 wickets - they
        now lead the three match series 1-0.
       Writting was on the card after Bangladesh were routed by the Lankan
        pacers, 119 was never going to be a tough chase and Sangakkara's
        50 sealed victory for Lanka.
       It took them just 24.1 overs to reach the target but they lost five
        wickets chasing this small target, bulk of the wickets fell
        towards the end  when the batsmen were looking for quick runs to
        finish the game.
       Man of the match - Ruchira Perera.
       That's all we have for you today, thanks for being with us -
        Cheers.
