Drinks are on the field now.. This is an excellent start from Sri Lanka. They are well above the asking rate. But behind where Australia were at this stage. Things started to unravel for Australia after the powerplay - will that be the case for Sri Lanka as well or will they continue to ride the momentum wave? We shall find out.

SL may win this match - looks like.

Need 101 runs from 69 balls.

RJ: "why not let Maxi bowl a over and see what happens." -- Australia might be inclined to keep the off-spinner away from the two RHBs, but they might have to roll that dice soon.

SL has gotten through more than half their target at the halfway mark. Australia need wickets, otherwise this could be a canter for the hosts.

Sam: "I don't understand why Australia is offering pace here. They haven't learned their lesson from their 1st innings. " --- Even Zampa has been guilty of bowling too flat.

Congratulations 👏 to Mendis for completing 50.

Congrats Mendis

Glenn Maxwell to Kusal Mendis, 1 run, tossed up full outside off, Kusal Mendis gets forward to drive to long-on and it's 50 for Kusal, he raises the two fingers on his right hand to celebrate after kissing them
