Sri Lanka Vs Australia Live Cricket Score - Live Score, 1st Test Match - Full Scorecard

Starc to Karunaratne, OUT! LBW! The decision stays as it is! A good length ball angling in, 137 kph, Karunaratne looks to flick but misses and is hit on the pads. He is given out and he takes the review. It takes a while for the Hawk Eye to work and eventually, it shows that the ball is hitting leg stump. First strike by Australia.

J Hazlewood to Silva, OUT! Edged and taken! McGrathesque line. Full and just outside off, 138 kph. You have got to play at that. Else you will be knocked over. Silva realizes that. He pushes forward. Looks to defend. However, that is the trick of that line. It deviates ever so slightly, takes the outside edge and goes low to Adam Voges at first slip who cups it beautifully. Hard luck for Silva. Cannot do much with those. Play them, you edge and go back to the pavillion. Leave them alone, you still go back to the pavillion, LBW or bowled. Australia on top at the moment.

J Hazlewood to Mendis, OUT! LBW! The second one is down! A full ball outside off, 137 kph, Mendis plays all over it, looking to flick but misses and is hit on the pads. Hazlewood appeals and the umpire raises his finger! Mendis has a word with his partner, thinks about the review and then takes it. However, he has taken too long and has been TIMED OUT! You are allowed 15 seconds to inform the umpire that you want to take the review and Mendis took longer than that. Anyways replays show that he is dead plumb.

J Hazlewood to Chandimal, OUT! Gone! Beauty of a delivery and how important was the stop made by Warner in the previous ball? It's a team game after all. Hazlewood delivers a full ball just outside off, Chandimal with unsure footwork tries to play at it with a straight bat. The ball maybe moves away a shade due to which the outside edge is generated. Nevill dives to his right to take a very good catch. Sri Lanka now have their top five back in the hut!

S O'Keefe to A Mathews, OUT! Mathews is done and dusted! Extra bounce does the trick and Sri Lanka are in deep, deep trouble. A tossed up ball on off, good line, luring the batsman forward, Mathews presses on his front foot, tries to defend but the ball spins away with extra lift to catch the shoulder of the bat. The Australian skipper Steven Smith grabs a fine low catch at first slip. He does not miss many!

N Lyon to de Silva, OUT! Gone this time! Lyon gets his first wicket. A touch quicker through the air, around middle, 89 kph, de Silva goes back to turn it on the leg side but gets an inside edge onto the pads. It loops in the air then and Burns takes a simple catch at forward short leg. Great start to the session again for Australia! Sri Lanka are 87/6, the devil's number strikes.

N Lyon to K Perera, OUT! Boom, another wicket down and Lyon is roaring at the moment. He serves a flighted full ball around off, Perera gets a bit forward and then decides to leave it. He thought it will spin away but to his surprise and bad luck, it carries on with the angle and goes on to hit the off pole. Australia are delighted and Sri Lanka are struggling to even cross the 100-run mark.

N Lyon to Perera, OUT! Plumb in front and Lyon hunts down another wicket in this over. Australia all over Sri Lanka like a rash. Lyon gives this one flight and lands it full outside, the ball spins in sharply after landing and catches Perera on the pads who is stuck inside the crease. That looked dead plumb to the naked eye and umpire Kettleborough raises his finger to confirm the same. The devil's number strikes twice!

M Starc to Herath, OUT! IT'S BOOT FIRST! And the decision is overturned. Starc spears in a very full ball around off, 147 kph, Herath is almost beaten by the pace as he brings his bat down to dig it out. The Australians appeal as they feel it's boot first but the umpire thinks it's bat and hence turns down the appeal. Steven Smith opts for the DRS and after watching multiple replays from all the angles, the third umpire decides that it indeed was boot first. Now he takes a look at the Hawk Eye and there is no question where the ball is heading - crashing into middle stump! Herath is out of here.

S O'Keefe to Pradeep, OUT! Edged and gone! Extra loopy ball around off, full and spinning away, Pradeep gets forward, tries to defend with a straight bat but it turns away to take the outside edge. Smith gobbles it at first slip and that will be it for the hosts. SRI LANKA BOWLED OUT FOR 117!

Herath to Joe Burns, OUT! Bowled 'em! Herath gets his first. He delivers an arm ball around off, Burns strides forward to defend, playing for the spin but it's not there. The ball skids on to beat the inside edge of his bat, kisses his pads on its way and then goes on to disturb the stumps. Sri Lanka are delighted!

N Pradeep to Warner, OUT! It's a legal delivery and Warner has to walk back. This is a big breakthrough for Sri Lanka. Pradeep slips in a fullish ball around off, sharp in pace, 141 kph, Warner with zero footwork tries to play a booming cover drive but ends up inside edging it onto the stumps. The umpire checks for the no ball but the replays show that Pradeep was just fine with his landing. Poor footwork from Warner and he has paid a big price for it. Sri Lanka have got what they needed to lift their morale!

R Herath to Khawaja, OUT! Herath on fire! A quicker deliver pitched on middle and off, Khawaja gets back in his crease to defend but completely misses it. The ball goes on to hit his pad straight in front of the wickets. It is dead plumb L.B.W. and an easy decision for the umpire to make. Khawaja has to make the long walk back.

R Herath to Smith, OUT! That's a biggie! Tossed up delivery, Smith dances down the track to whip it but misses it completely. Chandimal takes it cleanly and removes the bails out. Good piece of work by Herath as he pulled back his length a touch as he saw Smith getting down the track. Perfect start to the morning for Sri Lanka as the Aussie skipper departs.

N Pradeep to A Voges, OUT! Voges departs after playing so well! Good length ball on off, it bounced off the deck a bit more than expected. Voges off his front foot looks to defend it but the ball catches the shoulder of the bat and flies towards gully. Kusal Mendis dives to his left and takes a very good low catch. The resistance from Voges is over. Pradeep has taken a very crucial wicket and the visiting side slips further.

L Sandakan to Marsh, OUT! Bowled 'em! Double M you gotta go! The debutant gets a reward for a lovely piece of bowling! Bowls a googly around off, turns a touch after pitching. Marsh lunges forward to defend but the ball just beats his outside edge and goes onto hit the stumps. Waddddaaaa delivery from Lakshan! That brings an end to a 60-run stand!

R Herath to Nevill, OUT! In the air... gone! That's a tame dismissal. Herath bowls a loopy ball around middle, Nevill plonks his front foot and looks to go over mid on. Gets it off the inner part of the bat and spoons a simple catch to K. Perera at mid on. Can Herath grab a 5-fer here? He has got every chance to do so.

L Sandakan to S O'Keefe, OUT! Sandakan takes another wicket! Bowls a loopy deliver outside off,turning in. O'Keefe gets back and looks to turn it down to the leg side.

S O'Keefe to Silva, OUT! O'Keefe gets his man! Darts it full outside off and it skids in. Silva looks to play for the turn but is completely beaten and rapped on the pads. The bowler and the keeper are convinced as they belt out a loud appeal. The umpire is all convinced and gives it out.

N Lyon to Silva, OUT! de Silva holes out! Tossed up ball outside off, de silva kneels and goes for a loft over mid off. However, it is not timed properly and the elevation goes wrong.
