Michael Klingerc Niroshan Dickwella b Vikum Sanjaya 43 37 2 1 116.22
13.2
V Sanjaya to M Klinger, OUT! The bowling change works for Sri Lanka as Sanjaya breaks the partnership. Length ball, around off, Klinger charges down the track looking to drive it over covers, doesn't connect and edges it to Dickwella who starts appealing straightaway. The bowler too joins and the umpire obliges.
Aaron Finch (C)c & b Vikum Sanjaya 12 10 2 0 120
2.4
V Sanjaya to A Finch, OUT! Sri Lanka draw first blood! Length delivery, it is a slower one, Finch waits in his crease looking to work it away but ends up giving an easy catch back to the bowler. Sanjaya has read the pitch very well and it has paid dividends for the youngster.
Ben Dunkb Asela Gunaratne 32 14 3 3 228.57
6.4
A Gunaratne to Ben Dunk, OUT! Knocked him over! Slower one on the stumps by Asela, Dunk is ages early into his shot and plays all over it. The ball goes onto hit the timber and that's it for Ben Dunk. The show is over. Sri Lanka strike just at the right time!

14.2
N Kulasekara to T Head, OUT Catching practice! Length delivery, outside off, Head looks to guide it to third man but ends up edging it to Dickwella who takes an easy catch. The most happy person on the ground will be Munaweera who dropped him off the previous ball.
Ashton Turnerc Milinda Siriwardana b Seekkuge Prasanna 7 6 0 0 116.67
15.6
S Prasanna to A Turner, OUT! Whattay catch! Fuller outside off, Turner looks to go over long off despite the presence of the fielder. He does not get the elevation on it. Siriwadana in the deep at long off, goes to his right, dives low and takes it inches off the ground. A superb outfield catch and Seekkuge is delighted. Sri Lanka need to take more wickets to stem the flow of runs here.
James Faulknerlbw b Lasith Malinga 1 2 0 0 50
16.6
L Malinga to J Faulkner, OUT! Malinga special! A low dipping yorker on the stumps by Malinga. Faulkner fails to clip it and watches the bowler go up in an appeal. The umpire gives it out but replays show Faulkner had got an inside edge on that one. Malinga won't complain though. A timely wicket for the visitors.
Tim Paine (W)lbw b Lasith Malinga 7 4 1 0 175
18.3
L Malinga to Tim Paine, OUT! Malinga bowls another slower one on the stumps, Paine goes for his premeditated scoop. The ball lobs towards the keeper who completes the catch. The bowler is appealing long and hard and the umpire gives it out lbw. Malinga has another wicket!
Pat Cumminsb Nuwan Kulasekara 3 3 0 0 100
19.3
N Kulasekara to Pat Cummins, OUT! If Malinga can do it, so can I, says Nuwan! Bowls this one on the stumps, Pat is hit on his toes and the ball then deflects it onto the stumps. Nuwan is pumped up and why not, Sri Lanka have come back well in the game one thinks.
Andrew Tyelbw b Nuwan Kulasekara 0 2 0 0 0
19.5
N Kulasekara to A Tye, OUT! Another one falls! Hurls it on the stumps, Tye looks to clip it through mid-wicket but misses. He is rapped on the pads and the bowler goes up in an appeal and the umpire obliges. Handy wickets for the visitors.
Jhye Richardsonb Nuwan Kulasekara 0 1 0 0 0
19.6
N Kulasekara to J Richardson, OUT! You miss, I hit! Fuller and into the stumps, Richardson looks to go over mid-wicket, bending his knee, he misses and is bowled. A golden duck on debut for Jhye. That's career best figures for Nuwan Kulasekara, 4-0-31-4! AUSTRALIA BOWLED OUT FOR 173!

Niroshan Dickwella (W)c Tim Paine b James Faulkner 14 8 3 0 175
2.2
J Faulkner to N Dickwella, OUT! That's all for Dickwella! The change of bowling works, Faulkner bowls it around off, Dickwella goes for the scoop but seems to have missed it. The ball lobs to the keeper who takes the catch and appeals. The umpire gives it out but the batsman is not happy, rightly so, that came off his shoulder actually. Dickwella runs out of luck, Faulkner gets one back. He was given out lbw despite getting an inside edge when he was batting. Early strike for him with the ball.
Upul Tharanga (C)c Jhye Richardson b Ashton Turner 4 4 1 0 100
0.5
A Turner to U Tharanga, OUT! The gamble pays off! Shorter on middle and leg, the arm ball from Turner, Tharanga looks to swing it over the mid-wicket fence but get it off the top half of the bat. Jhye Richardson in the deep settles under the ball and takes it safely. The game to open the bowling with Turner has worked for the hosts. The Sri Lanka skipper has to depart.
Dilshan Munaweerac Tim Paine b Andrew Tye 10 4 1 1 250
4.2
A Tye to D Munaweera, OUT! Australia are all over Sri Lanka here! Angles it on a back of a length around off, Dilshan Munaweera looks to ride the bounce and get it down to third man but the ball goes off the face of the bat into the hands of the keeper for a simple catch. Sri Lanka are in deep trouble.
Kusal Mendisc Tim Paine b Jhye Richardson 5 7 0 0 71.43
3.3
J Richardson to K Mendis, OUT! Maiden T20I wicket for Jhye Richardson! Fuller outside off, Mendis goes hard at this one, wanting to drive on the up, he gets an outside edge through to the keeper who goes towards to his right and pouches the catch. The Australain fielders mob Richardson for the wicket.
Asela Gunaratnenot out 84 46 6 5 182.61
Milinda Siriwardanac Ashton Turner b Andrew Tye 0 1 0 0 0
4.3
A Tye to M Siriwardana, OUT! Tye is on a hat-trick! What are Sri Lanka upto? Short and outside off, Milinda Siriwardana thinks this is a boundary, goes for the cut shot but finds Ashton Turner at point who accepts the catch. This is a poor batting display from the Sri Lankans.
Chamara Kapugederac Ben Dunk b Pat Cummins 32 32 4 0 100
12.3
Pat Cummins to C Kapugedera, OUT! Top catch! Slower ball on the stumps, Kapugedera looks to go over mid off and seems to have done well. Ben Dunk running back from mid off, leaps up just in time to take the catch. That's a superb grab from the southpaw. The stand is broken at last and Cummins has his first wicket.
Seekkuge Prasannac Travis Head b James Faulkner 7 9 1 0 77.78
15.2
J Faulkner to S Prasanna, OUT! Faulkner makes amends, he was not impressed with the boundary whatsoever. Bangs it short again, Prasanna tries to pull but top edges it to Head near fine leg who takes a fine catch. Sri Lanka need 55 off 28 balls.
Nuwan Kulasekarac Michael Klinger b Andrew Tye 12 8 2 0 150
19.1
A Tye to N Kulasekara, OUT! Length ball, around off, NK looks to go over covers but mistimes. The ball goes high in the air and Klinger goes back a bit, gets under it to take a comfortable catch near covers. But crucially for Sri Lanka, Gunaratne is back on strike.
