- BATSMENRB4s6sSR25 niiiiice Gary! Length ball outside off, but no turn this time. Thirimanne plays for the offbreak, but the ball slides in, and goes through his defense 110/39.5 Australia think this is caught behind! Nigel Llong says not out. Eventually Finch reviews. It was a short ball that climbed, got big on him, he tried to pull, there was a clear spike on ultra edge and a noise. The decision is overturned. He's out! Great delivery. Surprised Llong gave it not out. The Australians were certain straight away 44/116.2 slow finger of death! Looked plumb. Full, just outside off and sliding in. Perera prods forward to defend, but he misses the shot, and that's hit him in front of middle. Perera doesn't review, and that's a solid wicket for the part-time offspinner. Replays show it would've crashed into leg stump 71/227.1 overpitched outside off, and it's turned into a full toss with the batsman reaching forward. Slog sweeps from outside off stump, but that's been struck straight to deep midwicket! Nathan Lyon, very athletic, running forward to commit to a diving catch 117/433.4 full, outside off, and he tries to drive straight. But the ball flies off his bat after landing near it's base. Smith dives to his left to take a very sharp catch, and that's a classic legspinner's dismissal: caught and bowled 147/537.5 LBW! No review. He tried to sweep a fast, full leg break, he played all over it, it pitched in line and straightened and was crashing into middle halfway up. No wonder he walked off. That was plumb. 161/648.4 Bowled him! A 143kph rocket crashes into leg stump! He backed away trying to hit a fuller length leg stump line ball inside out over mid off, but was beaten for pace. It knocked leg stump back. 230/847.1 caught at deep midwicket! it was a 136kph short ball, he backed away, Cummins followed him into his hitting arc, he swung it away in the air to deep midwicket but didn't nail it, he picked out Maxwell who was stationed a fair way in from the rope. Simple catch taken easily. 225/7Extras12 (lb 5, w 7)TOTAL239/8 (50 Overs, RR: 4.78)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (Dimuth Karunaratne, 9.5 ov), 2-71 (Kusal Perera, 16.2 ov), 3-110 (Lahiru Thirimanne, 24.6 ov), 4-117 (Kusal Mendis, 27.1 ov), 5-147 (Angelo Mathews, 33.4 ov), 6-161 (Jeevan Mendis, 37.5 ov), 7-225 (Thisara Perera, 47.1 ov), 8-230 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 48.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4 appeal for lbw but not given. Full, just outside off and seaming in. Finch prods forward to defend, but the ball clatters into his pad. Sri Lanka review. Replays suggest that the ball landed on off, and swung in sharply, hitting in front of middle. And yesss, it's crashing into leg stump. Finch falls to the inswinger once again! Just wonder why umpire Llong gave it not out. Maybe he thought there was an inside edge. 16/140.2 peach of a delivery! Full, on off, and turning away. Khawaja comes forward to defend, but he misses completely. Wicketkeeper whiips the bails off, but was Khawaja's back leg outside the crease? Umpires are checking Yeah, it was, and he managed to ground it too, but the back leg is on the line! That belongs to the umpire.... so Khawaja needs to go. 218/519.3 caught at long on! Needless shot from Shaun Marsh and he's holed out! Long on was back, he skipped down and tried to loft this down the ground and hit it straight down Siriwardana's throat. Easy catch 96/230 caught at deep square leg! Great catch by Thirimanne just inches above the turf! This was a rank long hop, Maxwell was back but indecisive whether to hit it to London on place it in a gap, in the end he just chipped it into the deep, Thirimanne ran in and dove forward to take an excellent catch. Maxwell got it off the toe of the bat. It might have held up in the surface actually. 161/336.4 holes out! Half-tracker on off, and pulled off the back foot, but this doesn't have the distance 203/4Extras12 (lb 2, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL241/5 (44.5 Overs, RR: 5.37)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Aaron Finch, 3.6 ov), 2-96 (Shaun Marsh, 19.3 ov), 3-161 (Glenn Maxwell, 29.6 ov), 4-203 (Marcus Stoinis, 36.4 ov), 5-218 (Usman Khawaja, 40.2 ov)
