Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar were on batting at stumps on Friday collecting 67\/0 in 15 overs when the rain interrupted the last session for the 2nd consecutive day of the match.<\/div>\n

Soumya found his consistency in the match hammering back-to-back half century as he was unbeaten on 53 off 47 balls, including six boundaries and one over boundary, following 71 runs in the first innings.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bangladesh (312 runs in the first innings) started the 2nd innings chasing a record target of 457 runs and reduced it to 390 runs where Tamim was batting on 13 off 44 balls with one four.<\/div>\n

Suranga Lakmal, Dilruwan Perera and skipper Rangana Herath delivered 5, 6 and 4 overs respectively, but remained fruitless.<\/div>\n

Earlier, Sri Lanka opened the 2nd innings with a lead of 182 runs in the first innings on the 4th day and extended the lead to 456 scoring 274\/6-d in 69 overs, spurred by the century of opening batsman Upul Tharanga (115) and the unbeaten half century of Dinesh Chandimal (50).<\/div>\n
