- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 Out, caught at long-on! Full on off and McDermott tries hoist this flat, long and straight, but Hasaranga is the man in the deep and he judges this well to take a good catch. 33/17.5 And third time's the charm! Finch has looked scratchy and he tries to hit himself out of the funk. Comes down the track, but Hasaranga slows this up and the googly does rest. Chandimal completes one of the easier stumpings he's likely to have. 60/213.5 Shanaka takes a screamer at cover! Very similar to his one in the deep on Friday. This time in the circle. Inglis went back again to drive inside out off the back foot over cover but hit it flat and low to cover, Shanaka dives forward and plucks it above the turf. Magnificent catch 112/411.5 Sri Lanka review for caught behind! Given not out. Maxwell tried to reverse sweep and the umpire thought he missed it. He switched his feet and tried to hammer it. There's a spike on RTS when the ball is next to the glove!. There was nothing on hot spot on the glove. But RTS is enough for the third umpire. Decision overturned! Maxwell is out. 99/318.3 holes out to deep cover! Full and wide, he threw the hands at it and launched it high to deep cover but didn't get enough of it and he picks out the man in the deep. Easy catch 145/518.4 thick edge to short third! Another excellent leg cutter slower ball wide of off, Stoinis is reaching as it holds up and decks away, he gets a thick edge that skews straight to short third! Easy catch again! 145/6Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL164/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Ben McDermott, 3.6 ov), 2-60 (Aaron Finch, 7.5 ov), 3-99 (Glenn Maxwell, 11.5 ov), 4-112 (Josh Inglis, 13.5 ov), 5-145 (Steven Smith, 18.3 ov), 6-145 (Marcus Stoinis, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.3 held at deep backward square! A slower ball full toss that dips below waist height comfortably, no issues there, he tried to pull over deep square but toed it to Cummins at deep backward square and the quick comes forward to hold a very good catch 153/80.5 And Gunathilaka is gone first ball! This is back of a length, outside off and Gunathilaka gets all of this. Stays back and smacks this, but it's straight to McDermott at cover. Gunathilaka is understandably furious with himself. 3/12.6 Taken excellently at cover! This is a very loose stroke from Avishka, but Inglis still needs to complete what is a very smart take, diving high and to his left. The ball itself was on a length, but not quite there for the drive, which meant Avishka was always struggling to keep it down. 19/24.4 Bowled him! This is similar to one earlier in the over, pitching on the stumps and straightening off a back of a length. 138kph, and Asalanka chops this back on to his stumps. 25/310.5 And Zampa strikes! This is tossed up on a length and Chandimal goes for the heave over long on, but misses completely. Middle stump is rattled! 67/415.6 Steve Smith direct hit from deep midwicket! Shanaka beaten trying for two! What a throw! Nissanka worked with soft hands towards the gap at midwicket and called two immediately, it was there but Shanaka was a little slow to turn and Smith gathered one handed and fires at the non striker's and hits the one stump he could see. Magnificent skills 115/516.2 top edge straight up and Wade comes around to take it at short fine! A bouncer that got big on him, he pulls and gets a thick top edge that flies straight up to short fine, Wade had some work to do but he did made the ground well to pouch it 115/618.6 caught at deep point! It fell a few metres short! Length ball wide of off, he thrashed at it and got a good piece but it fell just short of the rope and Cummins was standing and waiting to swallow it 146/7Extras10 (b 1, lb 7, w 2)TOTAL164/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.2)Did not bat: N ThusharaFall of wickets: 1-3 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 0.5 ov), 2-19 (Avishka Fernando, 2.6 ov), 3-25 (Charith Asalanka, 4.4 ov), 4-67 (Dinesh Chandimal, 10.5 ov), 5-115 (Dasun Shanaka, 15.6 ov), 6-115 (Chamika Karunaratne, 16.2 ov), 7-146 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 18.6 ov), 8-153 (Pathum Nissanka, 19.3 ov)
