AUS vs SL Live Cricket Score

21.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Pat Cummins gets the breakthrough for Australia! Bowls the effort ball this time does Cummins as he goes into the wicket, near the right shoulder of the batter. Gets extra purchase from the surface as Pathum Nissanka hangs on the back foot to pull. The ball gets big on him and he fails to roll his wrist to control the pull. Hits it in the air towards deep square leg where David Warner covers good ground and puts in a dive to his left to make a tough catch look easy. End of a fine knock by Nissanka. 125/1

26.2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Pat Cummins strikes again! Sri Lanka have now lost both set openers. Comes from 'round the wicket for the left-hander and angles it in, on a good length, on off and middle, Kusal Perera stays on the back foot and tries to push it down the ground. There is no foot movement whatsoever and he ends up playing down the wrong line as the ball seams in after pitching. The ball beats him on the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. 157/2

28 OUT! TAKEN! Adam Zampa gets into the act now and this is a stunning grab by David Warner! A big blow for Sri Lanka as their in-form skipper departs. Zampa offers flight and bowls it on off, Kusal Mendis gets tempted in the flight and goes for the sweep. He takes the risk of hitting it against the turn and does not get on top of the bounce by rolling his wrists. Gets a top edge that goes high in the air towards deep mid-wicket where David Warner from deep square leg, runs to his left and completes a well-judged catch. His knee gets stuck in the ground as he tumbles but manages to cling on. All of a sudden, Australia have an opening. 165/3

29.1 OUT! LBW! Lightning strikes twice as does Adam Zampa! Floats it up, full and on middle and leg, Sadeera Samarawickrama plays for the leg break but the ball skids on and keeps straight. Gets pinged on the front pad and up goes the finger. The front on replays show that the ball has passed close to the bat. The UltraEdge show no bat though. The Ball Tracking comes up and it shows that wickets is umpire's call. Sri Lanka have now lost both their centurions from the last game and Adam Zampa is on a hat-trick now. 166/4

43.3 OUT! TAKEN! Glenn Maxwell finishes things off for Australia! He tosses this one up, full and around middle, turns away a bit, Charith Asalanka goes down on one knee for the slog sweep but the spin makes the ball take the top edge and the ball flies in the air in front of long on. Marnus Labuschagne runs forward, settles under it and pouches it safely. Sri Lanka have been bowled out for 209! 209/10

32.3 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Mitchell Starc strikes straightaway after the rain stoppage! A break in play once again proves to be useful for the fielding side. Starc lands this one on a good length and on the sixth stump line, Dhananjaya de Silva tries to push it away without much footwork and only manages to get an inside edge back onto the stumps. Sri Lanka lose half their side now and is in a lot of trouble! 178/5

34.5 OUT! RUN OUT! A brilliant piece of fielding and Australia get another wicket now. Mitchell Starc serves a full toss, on middle, Dunith Wellalage drills it towards mid off and sets off for the run, but he has to go around Starc and then put in a dive in to make his ground. However, Pat Cummins is quick to pounce on the ball and hits the bullseye at the bowler's end. Marnus Labuschagne and the Aussie players look confident and the replay shows that the batter is just short of his crease. Australia are all over Sri Lanka now! As mentioned earlier, Starc held his ground after delivering the ball and Dunith, who was running in a straight line, had to turn around the bowler a bit to change his trajectory. That extra second has cost him those few centimetres. Chamika Karunaratne is the new batter for Sri Lanka. 184/6

38 OUT! LBW! Adam Zampa strikes again! He has his third wicket of the game as Chamika Karunaratne goes back without making much impact. Zampa bowls a googly this time, full and on middle, turning in a bit, Chamika Karunaratne prods forward to defend but his bat gets stuck on his pads and he plays down the wrong line too. As a result, he gets rapped around his pads right in front of the stumps. There is a huge shout for LBW, and up goes the finger. Chamika Karunaratne opts against the review and Sri Lanka are seven down now! 196/7

39.2 OUT! LBW! Another googly, another wicket! Sri Lankan batters have no answers to Adam Zampa here. He flights this one up and around middle, lands and turns in sharply, Maheesh Theekshana gets stuck in his crease and plays completely down the wrong line to get hit on the pads. There is an appeal for LBW, the umpire takes his time and then raises the finger. Maheesh Theekshana has a chat with his partner and takes the review. The replay shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking indicates three reds. Sri Lanka lose Theekshana as well as the review! 199/8

40.5 OUT! TIMBER! Starc doing Starc things! Dishes out a searing yorker, on middle and leg, Lahiru Kumara exposes all his stumps and looks to keep this one out. The ball tails back in sharply and Lahiru fails to get his bat down in time and sees his woodwork rattled. Mitchell Starc has his second wicket and Sri Lanka are now 9 down. Dilshan Madushanka is the last man in. 204/9

14.3 OUT! RUN OUT! A suicidal call for a second run has cost Mitchell Marsh his wicket here. Maheesh bowls almost a half-tracker, outside off, Mitchell Marsh moves to the leg side and drills it hard towards deep cover-point. He times it too well but still decides to come back for the second run. Chamika Karunaratne in the deep, sprints across to his left and picks the ball up cleanly. Fires a powerful and accurate throw to the batting end. Kusal Mendis collects the ball in front of the stumps, not a good technique but still catches Marsh short of the crease. Sri Lanka get the breakthrough they were after! 81/3

3.1 OUT! LBW! Dilshan Madushanka draws first blood! He lands this on a good length and around middle, keeps low and angles down a bit, David Warner hops up to flick it away but misses due to the lack of bounce and gets hit on the pads, below the knee roll. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger after some thinking by the umpire. Warner takes the review straight away. UltraEdge shows no bat involved but Ball Tracking indicates that it's the umpire's call on hitting the wickets. Warner is not at all happy, he is fuming on his way back to the pavilion. The on-field call of Out remains but Australia keep their review. 24/1

4 OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Dilshan Madushanka with the double whammy here! He has changed this game around again with a double-wicket maiden over. Two big fishes, David Warner and Steven Smith are back in the hut now. Madushanka continues with his fuller length, on middle, goes on with the angle this time, Steven Smith gets stuck in his crease as he tries to work it away but misses it completely and gets hit on the pads right in front of the stumps. Another huge appeal for LBW, and the finger goes up again, Smith has a chat with Marsh but decides against the review. Australia are two down now! 24/2

28.5 OUT! TAKEN! Dilshan Madushanka strikes again! He seems to be the only one who is giving his all for the Lankans here. This is banged onto the pitch, on off, angling in, Marnus Labuschagne looks for the pull but gets hurried and fails to get on top of the bounce, As a result, he mistimes it badly in the air and straight into the hands of Chamika Karunaratne at short mid-wicket who makes no mistake. Australia four down now but still in the driving seat! 158/4

33.1 OUT! TAKEN! Josh Inglis departs but he has done his job! Dunith Wellalage gives the ball air and bowls it slow and away from the batter. Josh Inglis makes room by moving to the leg side and tries to go inside out. He fails to get to the pitch of the ball but still goes through with the shot. Slices it in the air towards point where Maheesh Theekshana completes the catch on the second attempt. 192/5
