Cricket: Bangladesh were off to a great start against Sri Lanka as Mushfiqur Rahim caught a sensational ball at the end of the first over.

Mathews was coming into bat with Sri Lanka 135-4 after 24.2 overs against Bangladesh, but due to a helmet issue was slow to take the crease. While the 12th man ran to retrieve a new helmet, time continued to tick by - and well over three minutes after the previous wicket, Mathews and the umpires were still in discussions.But Bangladesh had appealed and, with the talks dragging on longer than the period Mathews actually had to make it to the crease, the umpires had to time him out - with Mathews losing his wicket without facing a ball.Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews was timed out against Bangladesh.MCC Rule 40.1.
