- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.2 lovely delivery once again, pitches on a good length in line with the stumps and Udara is struck on the pad and he is caught in the crease, loud appeal and given by the umpire, the ball would surely crash into the stumps, that was plumb. 23/33.4 edged and taken at first slip, a good comeback. Pitches outside the off stump and Berenger plays forward and the ball moves away ever so slightly to take the outside edge to Marsh at first slip, Sri Lanka lose their first wicket. 13/15.3 another outside edge and taken at second slip. Fuller delivery outside the off stump and slanting across, Rajapaksa drives and finds the outside edge to Beaton at second slip and taken low in front of him. Sri Lanka lose the big wicket of Rajapaksa. 23/29 lovely delivery from short of a length angled across, another unplayable delivery, extra bounce as Buddika feels for it and gets the edge to Triffett behind the wicket. Wonderful bowling from the Aussies. Hazlewood has two. 28/422.4 wonderful catch in the deep, short delivery and Vithanage falls for the hook shot and hits in the air to long leg and Floros does wonderfully well, judges it well and takes the catch over his head as he jumps up in the air in front of the boundary ropes and good short knock from Vithanage comes to an end. Sri Lanka are 6 down for 88. 88/610.1 another one bites the dust, on a good length and angled across, extra bounce again, pitches on the stumps and moves away to take the outside edge to Triffitt, who takes the catch to his left. Sri Lanka in serious trouble now with five down. Hazlewood picks up his third wicket. 32/542.1 a soft dismissal, looking for the paddle sweep, the ball takes the edge and lobs up to Maddinson at short fine leg. 165/827 tosses it outside the off stump and Gunathilleke down the track, hits in the air to silly mid-on and Marsh takes the catch, a good move to position himself there. 114/746 Peiris falls after a good fight in the middle, drives in the air straight to Marsh at extra cover. A good knock from the skipper. Sri Lanka 9 down for 186. 186/948.2 short of a length delivery hit in the air down the ground to long on and taken by Keath.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 just the start Sri Lanka needed, swings it in late and lands the ball on the off stump, Maddinson goes for an expansive off drive but plays too early, the ball hits his back leg, plumb as ever, easy decision for umpire Richard Kettleborough 3/16.2 the captain strikes! He hurries the batsman with a surprise short delivery, Beaton gets forward first but has no time to adjust but he goes for the pull anyway, he wasn't in control of it at all, mistimes it and Jaleel runs forward at square leg and times his forward dive well 25/238.2 stunning catch! The batsman came forward and drove the ball in the air but pretty flat towards the bowler's right, he dived quickly, got down low, and grabbed the ball inches from the ground with one hand, massive wicket for Sri Lanka, Marsh misses his hundred 172/611.2 the inside edge! Jayampathi gets the ball nip back in from a shade outside the line of the off stump, Keath was cramped for room and not sure what to do with it, was in two minds whether to play at it or let it go, the extra bounce too foxed him and he ended up chopping it to the off stump 38/320.1 Just when Australia were cruising along! Poor shot really, Jaleel bowls from round the wicket, lands it on middle and Floros makes room to cut and exposes all three stumps, the ball straightens however and hits the middle stump 87/421.5 Sri Lanka are thrilled! Jayasundara flights it outside off and Armstrong goes for the drive, doesn't cover the line properly and gets an inside edge which rolls onto his stumps 93/546 what have we here? Triffitt goes for an ambitious on drive but is into the shot too early, the ball lands on off stump and he gets an inside edge to his body and the ball clips the off stump 202/841.4 another one goes but is it too late? Chathura teases him outside the off stump, the ball holds its line after pitching and Hazlewood goes for a half-hearted drive, thin edge is snapped up by Berenger 180/7Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL206/8 (48.3 Overs, RR: 4.24)Did not bat: AC McDermottFall of wickets: 1-3 (Nic Maddinson, 1.5 ov), 2-25 (Tom Beaton, 6.2 ov), 3-38 (Alex Keath, 11.2 ov), 4-87 (Jason Floros, 20.1 ov), 5-93 (Tim Armstrong, 21.5 ov), 6-171 (Mitchell Marsh, 38.2 ov), 7-180 (Josh Hazlewood, 41.4 ov), 8-202 (Tom Triffitt, 45.6 ov)
