    1.2 And gets him again stumped! Dickwella gets in an awful tangle skipping down and yorks himself! He skips out early, it drifted in full and he ran over the top of it, it went through his legs, Carey had an awkward take unsighted, but he kept his wits despite fumbling it initially, he caught the rebound and stumped him easily 5/1
    9.5 caught behind! Marsh nicks him off! Scrambled seam, good length on off, some bounce and nibble away, Nissanka tried to open the bat face to run to third man but got a thin edge through to Carey. Big wicket for Australia. 34/3
    6.3 chopped on! Big wicket for Cummins. 133kph, back of a length wide of off, but not it wasn't that short, he tried to but was hurried a touch and it comes off a thick inside edge onto the stumps. 26/2
    26.2 great catch! One-handed above his head by Maxwell at midwicket. Short of a length, he goes for the pull and it comes from low down the bat. Plucked out by Maxwell with his right hand 135/4
    47.4 holes out to deep midwicket! He tried to launch a length ball over deep midwicket. He got a good piece of it but it just fell short of the rope and Finch was there to take the catch 256/8
    29.4 oh no! An awful mix-up. Tapped this wide of backward of point down to third, Asalanka turned and started back for the second then aborted. Not quite sure who is at fault, but it's a major blow for Sri Lanka. Having seen the replay, Shanaka wasn't really pushing the first run, but Asalanka started then stopped for the second 150/5
    40.2 holes out to long off! Easy catch for Warner. He skipped out trying to launch down the ground but sliced it high to Warner at long off who took a pretty comfortable catch well in from the rope 207/6
    42.5 huge appeal for lbw! Australia review. Karunaratne stepped a long way across his stumps to paddle sweep fine. If he didn't hit it this is close. It came off pad and ran fine for leg byes. But he got hit on the pad and you could see leg stump. Ultraedge is taking it's time. Now we've got it. No bat involved. Ball tracking says smashing middle and leg. Absolutely plumb! He's out. Good review from Kuhnemann, Carey and Finch who all discussed it. 222/7

    48.1 Vandersay run out! Sent back by Hasaranga! He uppercut a short ball to wide third man, Hasaranga pushed for two and called for two when it wasn't on, Cummins fired the throw in and Hasaranga saw he was in trouble after calling yes and sent Vandersay back but it was too late. He was committed and couldn't turn around to get back in time. That's twice now in this innings 257/9
    48.6 Theekshana is run out! Crazy cricket! No communication. Hasaranga was on his haunches at the non-striker's for the last ball so he could keep the strike for the next over. But he never spoke to Theekshana about it. Theekshana pushed a square drive to point and automatically ran. Hasaranga didn't run. Theekshana had to turn back and Australia's substitute fielder Mitch Swepson produced an outstanding direct hit from side on! 258/10

    37.1 he's got him! Oh my goodness. Warner's stumped for 99. That's a lovely piece of bowling. Gripped and beat the outside edge, Warner overbalanced out of the crease and Dickwella had the bails off in a flash. It's gone upstairs but Warner knows he's out. Already off the ground. 192/7
    2.4 that's out, has to be, yes given! That's plumb. Wonderful bowling. Pitches it a touch fuller, shapes back and catches Finch on the knee roll. A manner of dismissal we've seen from Finch a few times before. Well, maybe not as plumb as I thought. Clipping top of leg stump. 3/1
    11.4 great comeback! Brilliant bowling. Holds his nerve. Tosses up at off stump, Marsh comes forward, it grips and spins, takes the edge and it's a comfortable catch at slip 66/2
    19.3 Given lbw! Labuschagne reviews. Height the only issue here. It was straight. Good length leg break that has move overspin and goes on straighter. Pitched on middle and straightened. He wiped across the line playing right back and missed it. Ball tracking has it smashing into middle and off below bail height! Well bowled. Australia burn a review and Marnus is gone. 101/3
    25.4 holes out to deep forward square! Tossed up leg break in the arc for Carey, he tried to go with it and launch over deep forward square, he didn't quite get enough of it and Vandersay is on the rope to take the catch 131/4

    35.5 through him! Well, well. Pushed through, maybe a touch quicker, it goes straight on and Head played all round it. That's loose from Head 189/5
    36.2 huge appeal for lbw! Not given. Theekshana wants the review and they've gone for it. Maxwell got his front leg well across and then missed the ball. Is it sliding down leg? It's three reds! Hitting the top of leg stump. Massive moment. Great review. It was the bowler who really believed 190/6

    45.3 done it! Gets through Green. A straight delivery skids on. Green is caught on the back foot and is beaten. Actually played it down off the bottom of the bat 223/8
    48.5 fantastic yorker! And it's eventually given lbw when Sri Lanka remember to appeal. Then Cummins reviews. Speared in at the toes, Cummins misses across the line. Takes the back foot and looks out. No bat involved. Smashing leg stump 240/9
    49.6 high in the air over cover, and taken on the edge of the ring! Was a slower ball and it seals the series. Not sure about the call from Shanaka at the end, but all's well that ends well 254/10
