- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 taken at third! Marsh again. He gives himself room outside leg stump to a fuller delivery, goes for a booming drive and it slices off the face high down to the boundary 7/20.5 super catch! Maxwell strikes early. Went for the sweep, got a big top edge towards deep square leg where Marsh made excellent ground 5/111.5 And now Maxwell gets him! Comes down the track again, and this time he connects…but poorly. Top edges the drive and short mid-off comes under it to take the catch. 73/314.1 And he strikes immediately. Mendis is gone! Hit wicket! This is short and Mendis takes one on the ribs! This rushes him, and he goes for the pull but misses completely, but as he falls over his bat comes crashing down onto the stumps. How unlucky. 90/416.2 Short and he gets him this time! A very soft dismissal, as Bhanuka gently lobs this around the corner straight to short fine leg. 101/519.1 And that's another one! This is very short and Shanaka makes room to flay this on the offside. He connects well but it's straight to the man at cover. 121/718.6 But Richardson has the last laugh, as Hasaranga looks to carve this over cover, but can only get a top edge to mid-off. 121/619.4 And no he's on his way too! This was full outside off, Chamika shuffles across and hits this high towards midwicket, but height is all it has as long-off comes around to take another one. 121/919.2 But it's not to be, as it's a team hat-trick! This is full and Chameera hammers this high and far down to long-on, but it's not far enough as the man comes under and takes a well judged catch on the boundary line. 121/8Extras0TOTAL124/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.2)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 0.5 ov), 2-7 (Pathum Nissanka, 2.4 ov), 3-73 (Charith Asalanka, 11.5 ov), 4-90 (Kusal Mendis, 14.1 ov), 5-101 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 16.2 ov), 6-121 (Wanindu Hasaranga, 18.6 ov), 7-121 (Dasun Shanaka, 19.1 ov), 8-121 (Dushmantha Chameera, 19.2 ov), 9-121 (Chamika Karunaratne, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 gone this time! Stop the press: Australia have lost wicket. Finch driving again with an open face and slices it high to cover who takes it well above his head. Hang on a minute! Some drama here. The umpires are chatting. Is it about whether the fielder was in the ring? Actually, appears they are checking for a back-foot no-ball. At the first moment of impact he's not breaking the line so, phew, he's okay. 33/16.2 mix up and run out! Oh my goodness, what happened there? Was full outside off, strongly driven to deep cover. Warner wanted the second but Maxwell wasn't interested. Warner not impressed. He always likes to push for twos but was it worth the risk there? 64/44.4 stone dead! Hasranga gets his man. A much slower delivery, very full, dips on Marsh and goes under his sweep shot. Takes the back leg. Heading for the middle of middle 53/25.2 given lbw! Smith reviews but that looked pretty good live. Was a fuller delivery, Smith shuffled across and missed. Is it just missing leg? It's smashing leg stump! Smith goes 58/311.4 And Hasaranga does strike! This is the googly again, tossed up on off and Maxwell takes the bait as he goes for the booming drive. He connects well, but not well enough as long-off just has to come in a few yards to complete the catch. Will the Aussie nerves hold here? 99/68.4 picks out midwicket! Jeepers, it's all happening. A short delivery, Stoinis goes for the pull and can't keep it down or find the gap 80/511.5 And he's bowled him through the gate! Wow-nindu indeed! This is flighted on off, and Agar goes for the drive, but he leaves a gaping hole between bat and pad that Hasaranga finds with ease. Middle stump is clattered! 99/7Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL126/7 (17.5 Overs, RR: 7.06)Fall of wickets: 1-33 (Aaron Finch, 2.4 ov), 2-53 (Mitchell Marsh, 4.4 ov), 3-58 (Steven Smith, 5.2 ov), 4-64 (David Warner, 6.2 ov), 5-80 (Marcus Stoinis, 8.4 ov), 6-99 (Glenn Maxwell, 11.4 ov), 7-99 (Ashton Agar, 11.5 ov)
