As far as the pace bowling is concerned, both Marsh and Hazlewood were too straight on occasions, leaking runs on the on-side. Even Starc's heroics faded a bit under the sun and Sri Lanka capitalized. Going into the last session, Australia still have the advantage but this time they don't hold all the aces. Be back in a while...
What a resilient reply from the Lankans. From 26/5 who would have thought Chandimal and de Silva will stitch a 100-run stand! But as the situation stands, the hosts have recovered, not completely but enough to make a game out of it. Australia looked a bit frustrated after their appeals were denied, and such was their desperation to penetrate into the tail that they even claimed bump catches. Lyon, who had bowled well with the hard ball, looked a bit off colour. Holland was much more consistent with his line and varied the pace, was surely unlucky to have missed out on a wicket.
