Pitched around off, turning away from a fuller length, Adam Zampa drives at it but gets a thick outside edge and it goes straight to the left of Charith Asalanka at the first slip. He is a bit late to react, gets his left hand to the ball, but parries it to the short fine region. One run taken.

Maheesh Theekshana To Sean Abbott OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Maheesh Theekshana's carrom ball does the trick! This one is bowled full and on the middle stump. Sean Abbott lunges forward to play at it, looking to work it away on the leg side with a closed bat face. Closes the bat face early and it loops up off a leading edge, back towards Maheesh Theekshana at a comfortable height. Seven down for Australia now!

Wanindu Hasaranga To Aaron Hardie
A sharp confident appeal for LBW and given out! Aaron Hardie decides to take the review! This is another deceptive googly from Wanindu Hasaranga, pitched fuller and around off. It lands and turns into the batter a shy bit. Aaron Hardie premeditates and tries to reverse sweep it away but misses. The ball passes very close to the bat and pins on the back thigh pad. The ball deflects off the thigh pad and lobs and dips towards the first slip fielder who scoops it. But the appeal is for LBW and nothing is on the UltraEdge. The Ball Tracking confirms the impact to be outside the off stump. The on-field decision is reversed.

Charith Asalanka To Alex Carey OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! The Sri Lankan skipper cannot put a foot wrong in this game! Both set batters are now back in the pavilion within a few deliveries! Gives it a good flight on a fullish length, just outside off, Alex Carey shimmies down the track and looks to take on the flight. Tries to clear the long off fence, but loses his shape and the bat twists in his hands at the point of contact. Hence, doesn't generate the required power to clear the fence, and ends up slicing it in the air, and straight down the throat of Pathum Nissanka at long off. Alex Carey departs for a well-made 41 (38) and Australia are 85/6.

A fuller-length delivery by Maheesh Theekshana, on the middle and off stump line. Marnus Labuschagne gets across and tries to play the lap shot again but misses and the ball pings on the pads. Marnus Labuschagne walks to Carey, has a brief chat with him and sends it upstairs for a review. UltraEdge comes up and shows no spike on it. Ball Tracking confirms that the impact is umpire's call and the ball is hitting the off stump. Marnus Labuschagne will have to walk back and the 52-run stand is broken now with half of the Aussie side back in the hut. Australia now need 132 runs in 195 balls remaining.

An appeal for LBW, but turned down by the umpire. Only Wanindu Hasaranga looks interested while the keeper, Kusal Mendis is reluctant. Charith Asalanka though goes with the bowler and reviews it. Hasaranga bowls a fuller ball, around the leg stump line and turns into the batter off the deck. Alex Carey leans forward and looks to work it away to the leg side, but misses and the ball pings him on the front pad. No need to check the UltraEdge as the bat was behind the pad. Ball Tracking shows the ball to be sliding down the leg stump line. Sri Lanka burn a review here.

Wanindu Hasaranga To Marnus Labuschagne
Looped up fuller and around off, Marnus Labuschagne drills it down to long off for a single.
DRINKS BREAK! Sri Lanka will be pleased with this start, aided in part by some questionable shot selection from Australia’s top four. Since his arrival, Alex Carey has shown intent, while Marnus Labuschagne has looked to anchor the innings. The pitch has slowed down, with some deliveries keeping low, making batting a challenge. Sri Lanka still have plenty of spin options, with Wanindu Hasaranga yet to roll his arm over. How Australia navigate this spin test will likely dictate the course of the game. Just as we speak, here is he - Hasaranga into the attack.

Maheesh Theekshana To Cooper Connolly OUT!
OUT! LBW! Theekshana strikes in his very first over and Australia have been reduced to a worrisome 18/3. Maheesh Theekshana keeps bowling it flat and hits the fuller length, right in front of the stumps. It lands and skids through quickly off the deck. Cooper Connolly sits down on his knee to sweep it away but gets no wood on it and the ball raps him on the front pad. A huge, huge shout for LBW in unison from the Sri Lankans, and up goes the finger! Cooper Connolly chats with his skipper and decides to walk away without reviewing. Looked absolutely adjacent in real time and that's what Smith too would have thought. A disappointing outing with the bat for the young lad as he departs for 3 (16). Troubles looming large for the tourists now as the top three have been blown away within six overs.

Asitha Fernando To Matthew Short OUT!
OUT! A massive shout for LBW and the finger is raised! Matthew Short has a word with JFM and decides not to take the review. Sri Lanka have the early wicket they were after. Asitha lands it on a good length, on middle, Matthew Short looks to flick it away as the ball angles into him. It straightens after pitching and squares Short up. Goes past the outside edge and catches Short on the back pad. The height looked the most important factor there but the Ball Tracking shows that it would have turned out to be three reds with the ball crashing into the leg stump, so, a wise decision not to review but Australia lose Short for a duck.
