The ball balloons high up in the air around the leg side. Four fielders are running for it but it is the wicketkeeper, Kusal Perera who runs for it and takes it in the end.

The ball is a fair one and goes on to hit the pads plumb in front of the stumps. That spells the end for Australia as SRI LANKA WIN THIS MATCH BY 163 RUNS AND TAKE THE SERIES 3-0!

R Herath to Hazlewood, OUT! ANOTHER ONE FOR HERATH! This man is unstoppable!
