END OF OVER:

  • Travis Head59 (95b)
  • Usman Khawaja101 (136b)
  • Vishwa Fernando11-1-43-1
  • Dilruwan Perera15-3-52-0

And that's the declaration. Sri Lanka set 516 to level the series. A very nice hundred from Khawaja after a difficult summer. More runs for Head. How the Sri Lanka top will have a very testing 35-minute period in iffy light. Back with you in a few minutes

Fernando to Khawaja, 1 run, full on the pads, worked to deep square and there is the hundred! A massive roar from Khawaja as he hit that ball. Quite emotional celebrations

turtle: "If the selectors leave out Burns Queensland will secede from Australia!" Vishwa into the attack. Might be a one-ball spell!

  • Travis Head58 (92b)
  • Usman Khawaja99 (133b)
  • Dilruwan Perera15-3-52-0

Not really sure why Khawaja made that into a three. We'll have another over

Bernie: "Bill Lawry once declared when Rod Marsh was in the ninties. Could help Tim go down in history if he repeated it."

  • Usman Khawaja96 (132b)
  • Travis Head57 (87b)
  • Kasun Rajitha13-2-64-2
  • Dilruwan Perera14-3-48-0

Jack: "Khawaja makes the game look incredibly easy when he's on. So much time on the ball." Been a good innings, important for him, but would just hold fire on long-term judgement

Rajitha to Khawaja, FOUR, moves away outside leg stump and guides a short ball in the air fine of third man, a one-day style ramp
