Evenly poised match as Sri Lanka duo continue to pile on the runs.
Kusal Mendis, who had the rub of the green on Day 2 of the first Test, goes on to strike his fourth Test hundred on his birthday.
Mendis did not have the most convincing display unlike his partner De Silva at the other end, who was rock solid. Mendis was dropped on just four runs — a difficult chance for Mehedi Hasan, who also saw Mendis dropped off his own bowling. Early on Day 3, Mustafizur Rahman found the edge of the right-hander’s bat but the ball split the first and second slip and went for four.
The right-hander reached his hundred in 200 balls with 10 fours and a six.
