That's an excellent performance from the Lankans, particularly in the back half of the innings. Australia were looking comfortable at the halfway mark with the score reading 75/1. However, Karunaratne and Hasaranga struck twice apiece between overs 11-15 to stall the momentum completely. There were really soft dismissals in that, but credit to the visitors for not backing down under pressure. Stoinis with his ball-striking did counterpunch for a while but then Fernando - easily the best bowler of the innings - dismissed Wade and Stoinis - off successive deliveries and the innings fell off the cliff after that. Australia were eying 180 at one stage, 170 was still on when Stoinis was batting, and in the end, they haven't touched 150. It isn't a flat surface though, there is some variable bounce and tacky nature. Australia have a good bowling attack too, but they're certainly under-par with the score. Can Sri Lanka chase this down? They'll certainly fancy themselves. Back shortly.
