DRINKS! The players will take some refreshments. The Bangladesh openers got off to a good start but they have both been dismissed which should peg back their side a bit. They have two experienced campaigners at the wicket and they will be looking to take this game as deep as possible. Sri Lanka will want to control this middle phase with their spinners and build some pressure which could result in wickets.
