Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Aaron Finch (C)c Lasith Malinga b Asela Gunaratne 43 34 2 2 126.47
11.3
A Gunaratne to A Finch, OUT! Finch is gone! The search for the boundary sees him walk back to the dugout. Gunaratne, who showed good form against the Proteas, has carried it here and done well with the ball too. Full and a cutter on the stumps, Aaron Finch gets low to play the big slog sweep. Gets a big top edge which balloons towards Malinga at short fine leg. He runs in a few paces and takes a good catch.
Michael Klingerc Lasith Malinga b Lakshan Sandakan 38 32 4 0 118.75
10.3
L Sandakan to M Klinger, OUT! KLINGER DEPARTS! Went for the big shot but did not connect well at all. Tossed up around off, Michael Klinger looks to slog it hard over mid-wicket but ends up getting it off the top edge. It lobs over to Lasith Malinga at short third who takes it comfortably by stretching forward. The pressure applied by the Lankan bowlers has done the trick.
Travis Headc Seekkuge Prasanna b Lasith Malinga 31 25 0 1 124
18.4
L Malinga to T Head, OUT! Travis Head is out of here. It's full and outside off, Head lofts it over the covers. He makes decent connection but it's a big boundary out there. He cannot clear the boundary and it's a good catch taken by Prasanna just inside the ropes.
Moises Henriquesc Chamara Kapugedera b Vikum Sanjaya 17 10 0 1 170
15.1
V Sanjaya to M Henriques, OUT! HENRIQUES HOLES OUT! Full delivery and it's in the slot, Henriques lofts this towards long on. Doesn't get the elevation on it and it's straight down the throat of Kapugedera who makes no mistake in taking that. Another wicket down for the hosts.
Ashton Turnerc Seekkuge Prasanna b Lasith Malinga 18 13 1 0 138.46
18.5
L Malinga to A Turner, OUT! Two in two for Malinga. Low full toss dipping in on leg, Turner makes room and lofts it over mid-wicket. Prasanna is the man out there and once again he takes a good catch, running across to his right.

19.4
N Kulasekara to J Faulkner, OUT! Paine sacrifices himself for the greater good. Wanted to get Faulkner back on strike, he got the job done but lost his wicket in the process. This full ball is hit down to long on by James. Immediately calls for the second as the throw comes in towards the bowler. Paine dives back in but the bails have been taken off. And replays show that he's gone.

Sri Lanka

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Niroshan Dickwella (W)c Michael Klinger b Adam Zampa 30 25 4 1 120
8.5
A Zampa to N Dickwella, OUT! Massive breakthrough for Australia! A slider around off, angling away from the southpaw, Dickwella stays back to turn it on the leg side but closes the face of the bat early. It pops out off the leading edge and goes straight into the hands of Klinger at short third man. 90 needed off 67 balls!
Upul Tharanga (C)c Tim Paine b Pat Cummins 0 2 0 0 0
0.6
Pat Cummins to U Tharanga, OUT! Cricket is a team game. The fielding effort on the last ball meant that it's three and not a boundary which brought Tharanga on strike and Cummins bowled a beauty to dismiss him. A length delivery around middle and off, nipping away a shade, Tharanga is caught napping inside the crease, has a gentle push inside the line and gets a thick outside edge to the keeper. Paine makes no mistake and Australia draw first blood!
Dilshan Munaweerac Aaron Finch b Adam Zampa 44 29 6 0 151.72
10.4
A Zampa to D Munaweera, OUT! Zampa with another wicket! A half-tracker on off, Munaweera gets back and pulls this away hard. Unfortunately for him, it's straight into the hands of Aaron Finch at short mid-wicket who takes an excellent catch. Dilshan will be disappointed with that, he was looking good and doing a lot of damage.
Asela Gunaratnest Tim Paine b Ashton Turner 52 37 7 0 140.54
17.1
A Turner to A Gunaratne, OUT! Gunaratne looks to play the reverse sweep, but misses as Paine completes a sharp stumping. The part-timer has struck. Tossed up delivery, around off, Gunaratne tries to be cheeky and fails to connect. Paine knows it's out and urges the umpire to go up. The umpire obliges and the replays show that Gunaratne has failed to land his bat back in time.
Milinda Siriwardanalbw b Ashton Turner 15 11 1 0 136.36
17.3
A Turner to M Siriwardana, OUT! That is a very, very strange decision and certainly controversial. Sprays this down the leg side, Siriwardana looks to tuck it through leg side but misses and gets rapped on the pads. The umpire signals him out instantly. And in no time, Australia have sent back both the set batsmen. Do we have a twist in tale here? Replays suggest that it was missing the leg stump.
