The visitors decided against enforcing a follow-on but were left struggling with their batting in the second innings, reaching 102-6 at stumps on the third day to extend their lead to 455 runs. Debutant pacer Hasan Mahmud gave Bangladesh something to smile about with 4-51, while fellow pacer Khaled Ahmed also troubled the Lankan batsmen with 2-29.
But Angelo Mathews remained unbeaten on 39 alongside Prabath Jayasuriya, three not out.
