Chandimal challenges Aussies. Second Test.

Dinesh Chandimal remained not out 206 as Sri Lanka totalled 554 in the second Test, in Galle. This gave the hosts a lead of 190 and a possibility of squaring the series. Chandimal's 206* was the highest individual score, for SL against Australia.
Mitch Starc took 4/89 and Mitch Swepson, 3/103.

Memo to Dave Warner.

There's absolutely no need to waft at the first ball of an opening over - just because it's wide of off stump. Luckily you missed edging it.

This is a Test match, mate. :roll:

Bear in mind, the Aussies aren't looking for 82 win. It's 82 to make SL bat again.

IF that eventuates, they still have a day to go, weather permitting.

Scenarios: SL wins today. They need 6 wickets for 80 odd.

Australia gets to stumps, either with no further loss of wickets or just 1 or 2. Then try to build a lead. Unlikely but possible.

Australia gets to stumps still a few behind but only 4 down. Possible high drama tomorrow. :D
