A video of Australia all-rounder Dan Christian taking his maiden hat-trick during the 12 ODI of the CB Series against Sri Lanka at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Playing only eighth ODI, the 28-year-old Christian's hat-trick in the 44th over was the highlight of the first session's play in today's match — the batsmen falling victim to him being Thisara Perera (5), Sachithra Senanayke (0) and Nuwan Kulasekara (0).

The right-arm pacer ended the day with impressive match figures of 5/31 in nine overs. James Pattinson picked up four wickets, conceding 51 runs in his 10 overs.
