    19.4 Oh this could be close! Another sweep, crunched to square leg, who does well to pick up the ball cleanly and dart in a throw to the striker's end! The batters are looking for two but this throw is just too good, as Carey barely has to move to collect and break the stumps. And is that the breakthrough the visitors were looking for? 115/1
    21.4 And the pressure tells! Nissanka reverse sweeps this length ball straight into the grateful hands of short third! So both the Lankan openers are now back in the pavilion. 118/2

    25.5 What a take by mid-on! Agar strikes again, but this is all David Warner. It's tossed up on the stumps, and Dhananjaya comes down the track and he looks to have down enough to loft this over mid-on. But Warner times his leap to perfection, and facing away from the ball he grabs this one-handed with his right. Outstanding catch! 134/3
    39.3 lofted down the ground, but just goes straight up and is comfortably taken at mid-on. That was much-needed by Australia. Was a back-of-a-length delivery and he got too far underneath it, came from low down on the bat. End of a nice innings 211/4
    43.3 super catch at long-on! Came down the pitch to a filthy full toss, clubs it down the ground without the timing or distance. Warner makes good ground to take it diving forward. Labuschagne has his first ODI wicket 240/5
    45.5 lovely bowling! Tossed up outside off, this grips quite a bit, takes a thin edge and is nicely held. Good legspinner's wicket 258/6
    49.6 chipped to short fine leg...moved across outside off stump to a wide yorker, flicked in the air and a simple catch on the ring 300/7

    1.1 And he strikes first up! What a start for Theekshana! He comes around the wicket, on a length, and it goes on with the arm. It's past Warner's inside edge on the forward defence, and strikes him seemingly in front of the stumps. Australia do take the review though. But that's a poor review indeed, three reds and Warner has to go. And what's more, Australia have lost a review. 5/1
    12.3 Edged to the keeper! And Hasaranga gets his customary scalp! This was another leg spinner, and Finch doesn't know whether to go forward or stay back. He ends up staying in his crease and poking the bat out just enough to get a faint edge through to Mendis behind the stumps. 72/2
    24.3 cleaned him up! What a maiden wicket. Smith went back to a shortish delivery to pull, it skidded on and and he played all over it. Probably wasn't short enough for the stroke. Big moment for Wellalage and in the match 141/4
    21.4 taken at deep midwicket! Shanaka gets the crowd jumping again. A wicket against the run of play. Dropped it in short, Labuschagne pulls and got a top edge which presented a comfortable catch for the debutant who kept his composure very nicely. Although, on the replay, it nearly squeezed out! 126/3
    29.6 Bowled him! And Hasaranga as he so often does, has the last laugh. Stoinis goes for three in a row, trying to slog sweep this through midwicket, but the googly goes through him and crashes into middle. Hasaranga can be heard exclaiming a loud "Yes, come on!" on the stump mic. 189/5
    35.1 Rapped on the pads, huge appeal, and after a long wait the umpire raises the finger! This looked good on first glance. It was the straighter one from Wanindu, as Carey went for yet another reverse sweep. Carey has reviewed. Yep, that looked plumb, and the three reds confirm it. 228/6

    35.3 But he gets him now! Rattles middle and off! Why oh why has Cummins done that?! This was tossed up by Hasaranga, and Cummins, who could've driven it down the ground, decides to heave across the line and misses completely. 228/7
    39.3 Big appeal for LBW and it's given! This looked pretty plumb, and after some discussion over a review Maxwell and Agar realise they have no reviews left! This pitched outside off on a good length and spun back in sharply. Agar really shouldn't have been back to it, but he was, and ended up struck in front of off. 254/8
