    11.6 bowled him! Brilliant slower ball yorker! 131kph, just slightly slower ball with a wobble seam. Nissanka was down one knee to slog sweep again, it dipped late under the bat and hit the bottom of off! 100/2

    4.2 carved away, but straight to deep point! Not sure Marsh saw it all the way but he holds on. A short delivery, he gave himself some room, went up and over and couldn't have picked out the fielder much better 39/1

    15.4 Asalanka is run out trying to pinch a bye! Strange decision to run. Shorter slower ball outside off, he was beaten trying to pull, as it held up in the surface, the ball bounced short of Wade and spun awkwardly, Wade fumbled but it didn't go far, Hasaranga called for a run and Wade had plenty of time to gather and throw to Marsh who broke the stumps with Asalanka well short 116/6

    13.1 And he strikes first ball! Mid off and mid on up, Hazlewood hits his trademark hard length, Mendis tries to swat it over wide mid on, gets a top edge that flies straight up and Agar comes in from cover to take the catch awkwardly. Great captaincy from Finch. Sensed the moment and Hazlewood strikes 102/3

    13.4 caught behind! Test match line and length and Rajapaksa fished outside off without much conviction trying to run it to third man and he gets a thin edge through to Wade. Hazlewood comes up trumps again. 103/4

    13.6 Given LBW! Dasun Shanaka takes awhile to review. He knows he's in trouble. This looked plumb. He shuffled back and across to a fuller length on off. He wiped across the front pad and missed it. It hit him flush infront of middle and off. Ball tracking had it smashing middle! 103/5

    18.3 holes out to cover! Full and wide and Hasaranga backed away and slipped as he tries to loft over cover, he hits it flat and straight to Finch. Easy catch 128/9

    16.1 Brilliant direct hit from Smith! Back of a length on off, he's back and across to work it to midwicket and Karunaratne takes on Smith and is beaten! Smith's throw just clips the bails and Karunaratne as inches short at full stretch! Great skill from Smith. 118/7

    18.1 miscued to mid off! Easy catch for Warner. Low full toss outside off, almost a yorker, Chameera tries to loft over mid off but gets it off the toe of the bat and it floats to Starc on the circle 127/8

    19.3 Warner takes an excellent catch running around from mid off! Slower ball leg cutter, he gets under it and skies it high over cover, Warner calls out Finch who was running back, judges it well and holds on diving to the turf! 128/10
