DRINKS BREAK! Another dominating hour of play from Australia with the bat. Not that Sri Lankan spinners haven't bowled well, they have, but the chances have gone begging on a few occasions. Also, the plan to skip down the track and knock it around the park has worked well for Smith. He has managed to keep the scorers busy with constant strike rotation. While Usman Khawaja has looked pretty solid and is inching toward his century. This has pegged the Lankans a bit back. As this stand grows stronger, it will only multiply the frustrations for Dhananjaya de Silva. A wicket or two, or more than those will surely bring the hosts into the game but as of now, the tourists are running away nicely along. Asitha Fernando to continue after the hydration break. He is 4-0-30-0 so far.
