- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 OUT! Second breakthrough for Sri Lanka, and no, this one isn't the outswinger to the left handers. Kulasekara pitches it on leg and gets it to straighten, which is what does Wade in. the batsman had expected that to go with the angle and played a delicate cut shot, but the ball struck him in front and the review could not save him. 37/26.4 Dilshan is being mobbed by his team-mates, lovely delivery, angled in on a good length from round the stumps, pitches off, and straightens sharply to beat Warner's push and hit the stump 31/126.4 would you believe it? Perera has conjured a wicket out of nowhere. Fullish ball, seemed to hang in the pitch for a moment and Bailey was too quick on the shot. He ends up lobbing that straight back to the bowler, who takes a decent catch, bending low on his follow through. 97/343.6 Perera has conjured another wicket - a run out this time. Hussey hit that straight into the pitch and took off for a run that simply wasn't there, because the ball had only made it as far as the bowler. Hussey turned to return to his crease, but Perera was on target with the throw and Hussey was miles out. Decent knock there from Hussey. The end of a very good partnership. 195/446.6 another slower ball, an full. Maxwell trying to smash that over the top, but he's undone by the lack of pace again, and this time the top edge sails high enough for a fielder to settle under it at extra cover. 218/5Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL247/5 (50 Overs, RR: 4.94)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (David Warner, 6.4 ov), 2-37 (Matthew Wade, 9.6 ov), 3-97 (George Bailey, 26.4 ov), 4-195 (David Hussey, 43.6 ov), 5-218 (Glenn Maxwell, 46.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.1 that was somewhat out of the blue. Seems to have stuck in the pitch more than Mahela expected. He was aiming a shot through mid off, but gets an inside edge and it lobs to mid on, who takes a simple catch. Doherty delivers the breakthrough Australia needed. 57/117.3 Henriques strikes! Dislhan edges an innocuous delivery behind, and leaves Sri Lanka in trouble. He hasn't looked himself at all in this innings and has taken 48 balls for 19. Pressure on the young middle order now, and Australia will feel they are on top now, the way the pitch is playing. 71/314.3 poor option from Thirimanne, and Sri Lanka are throwing away a decent start. He came down the pitch and tried to loft that over midwicket, only he hit it too straight and David Hussey at long on ran around to swallow it. It was the result of some good pressure, but he will feel that that shot wasn't called for, so early in his innings 62/220.4 timber! Chandimal had no idea about that one. Pitched on off stump and straightened, and the batsman was nowhere near it. Went on to hit middle and off. The situation is quickly getting dire for the visitors. 77/444.1 Gone! And that could be it for Sri Lanka! Slower ball bouncer from Johnson and Mathews can't time that one. Lobs off the splice to midwicket, who completes an easy take. 187/731.1 gone! Johnson gets one to bounce a little more than they have and Perera gets a big top edge as he tries to work that into the leg side. David Warner at mid wicket waits for an eternity for it to come down, and takes the catch comfortably. Another big blow and Sri Lanka are sliding quickly here. 108/543.5 bowled him! Australia really needed that, Sri Lanka didn't. Mendis was on the charge, but Henriques went full and fast and hit the base of middle and leg. Moises is pumped. 187/645.1 and Perera goes! A fullish ball angled into the stumps and Perera plays all around that one, Crashes into middle stump again. 195/846.5 swipes across the line and gets a big top edge, which sails to Henriques at deep square leg, who runs in to take it comfortably 200/948.3 slower again, and gone. Malinga pokes at that one and it lobs off the bat and into the hands of short third man, who takes a good low catch. 215/10Extras19 (lb 12, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL215 all out (48.3 Overs, RR: 4.43)Fall of wickets: 1-57 (Mahela Jayawardene, 12.1 ov), 2-62 (Lahiru Thirimanne, 14.3 ov), 3-71 (Tillakaratne Dilshan, 17.3 ov), 4-77 (Dinesh Chandimal, 20.4 ov), 5-108 (Kusal Perera, 31.1 ov), 6-187 (Jeevan Mendis, 43.5 ov), 7-187 (Angelo Mathews, 44.1 ov), 8-195 (Thisara Perera, 45.1 ov), 9-200 (Rangana Herath, 46.5 ov), 10-215 (Lasith Malinga, 48.3 ov)
