6.13pm Innings break That is an imposing score from Australia on that surface. It is very slow and there is some spin. Head, Finch, Carey and Maxwell all produced excellent hands to put together 6 for 291. The partnership between Head and Carey was outstanding and it laid the platform for Maxwell and Green to finish the job. Sri Lanka's spinners were outstanding. Vandersay in particular bowled wonderfully. Australia only have one specialist spinner. Maxwell, Labuschagne and possibly Head will surely bowl a lot of overs. Big chase coming. Madushka will be back to kick off the chase.

Watwani29: "Travis Head just took me back down the memory lane to his New Year's Eve bash against ADS!What a mature knock! (Hopefully this ends in a winning cause as well)"

Buddika: "I wonder what every SL coach writes in their match notes. They never seem to learn from their mistakes!"

49.6

Chameera to Head, 1 bye, swing and a miss and they pinch a bye. Slower ball was too good but Green runs unselfishly and the underarm from Dickwella misses

49.5

Chameera to Head, FOUR, full toss glided between short third and backward point! Pace on, and nearly a waist high full toss, Head just leaned back and used the pace to place it into the gap

Around the wicket

49.4

Chameera to Head, no run, swing and a miss at a 112kph slower ball. Deceived completely as he tried to slog sweep

49.3

Chameera to Green, 1 run, 139kph, full and wide, he craves this straight to cover on the circle. They run and the fielder opts not to throw

49.2

Chameera to Green, SIX, lofted straight down the ground! Towering strike. He picked the slower ball, got a fuller length, he was able to swing through the line and clear the fence at the sightscreen
