7.2 OUT! TAKEN! Daniel Sams with a brilliant piece of fielding and the dangerman Pathum Nissanka departs. Tosed up, around middle. Nissanka gets in a good position to sweep and does so well. But the ball goes aerially towards the square leg fence. Sams moves swiftly to his right from the mid-wicket fence and puts in the dive to take a two-handed stunner. He knew exactly where the rope was and Glenn Maxwell has a wicket in his first over. 40/4

2.1 OUT! TAKEN! Kane Richardson strikes on his first ball. Danushka Gunathilaka tries to take him on but perishes. Kane Richardson with a half-volley, on leg. Danushka Gunathilaka shuffles across and tries to scoop it over. The ball goes off the bottom half and straight into the hands of Josh Hazlewood at short fine leg. He takes the simplest of catches there and Danushka Gunathilaka has to depary early yet again. 17/1

2.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Perfect comeback from Kane Richardson! On a good length, outside off, nipping away a bit. Charith Asalanka with no feet movement has a poke at it. The ball kisses the outside edge and Matthew Wade makes no mistake behind the stumps. Australia right on top! 23/2

| Kusal Mendis | 4 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 36.36 |
|
6.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Really soft dismissal and Kusal Mendis will be thoroughly disappointed here. This is tossed up, on a length and around off. The ball holds a bit in the surface as well. Mendis with a nothing shot as he looks to work it leg side but closes the face of the bat way too early. The ball loops up off the leading edge and Ashton Agar has an easy catch to take. 38/3

| Dinesh Chandimal Wk | 25 | 29 | 1 | 0 | 86.20 |
|
16.1 OUT! Cleaned up! Kane Richardson is having a ball out there! Richardson comes back into the attack and straightaway breaks the partnership. Seam up, full and right at the base of the off pole. Dinesh Chandimal clears his front leg and looks to heave it leg side but ends up playing all around a straight delivery. The ball hits the off stump on the full and just when Chandimal was starting to click, he perishes. 87/5

19.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Hazlewood's consistency continues with the ball as he picks up his first wicket of the night. A length ball, angled into off. It is there to be hit but Chamika Karunaratne once again hangs deep and looks to muscle it leg side. The ball comes off the splice of the bat and skies up towards the cover region. Josh Inglis runs behind to his left and takes a comfortable catch. Dushmantha Chameera walks out to bat. 115/6

0.1 OUT! CAUGHT! What a start! Sri Lanka could not have asked for a better start than this. Maheesh Theekshana starts off with a carrom ball, around off. The ball turns back in off the surface and Ben McDermott is caught on the crease. McDermott tries to push at it with hard hands and ends up getting an outside edge. Charith Asalanka takes a really sharp catch at first slip and Maheesh Theekshana is pumped up. 0/1

4.4 SIX AND OUT! Brilliant review for Sri Lanka and they are alive and kicking! Maheesh Theekshana comes from 'round the wicket and slides one into the pads. Ashton Agar looks to heave it leg side but misses and gets rapped on the pads. The visitors appeal confidently but on first glance it seems to be sliding down leg. They do go upstairs and there's no spike on UltraEdge. The replay shows that it was yet another carrom ball which means the ball straightened after pitching. Ball Tracker comes up with three reds and Ashton Agar has to depart. What a spell from Maheesh Theekshana! Glenn Maxwell walks out to bat. 26/2

| Aaron Finch C | 35 | 36 | 3 | 0 | 97.22 |
|
14.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Jeffrey Vandersay gets Australia's skipper. Bowls it short, on middle. Aaron Finch makes room for himself and tries to lift it over covers. The ball goes off the outside edge and carries through to the keeper. Dinesh Chandimal could not catch it. But the ball deflects off his gloves and goes into the hands of Charith Asalanka at first slip who takes it inches above the ground. 102/4

| Glenn Maxwell | 39 | 26 | 3 | 2 | 150 |

10.4 OUT! TAKEN! Maheesh Theekshana has done the trick yet again and is there a twist in this tale? Flighted delivery, on off. Glenn Maxwell gets a bit low and looks to whip it over the mid-wicket fence. It is a long boundary out there and Maxwell doesn't get a decent connection on it. The ball flies towards the man on the mid-wicket fence and Kusal Mendis takes a good low catch in front of him. Maxwell runs out of luck and Sri Lanka might still have a chance here. 76/3
