SL vs AUS Live Cricket Score

128.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A huge appeal from the bowler and the keeper didn't quite look convinced but the dreaded finger goes up. Finally, something to cheer for Sri Lanka as Prabath Jayasuriya breaks through to get rid of Usman Khawaja just after the drinks break. Fires it in, angling it away, on a shorter length, just outside off, Usman Khawaja stands put and looks to push it out but only manages to get a faint outside edge. Kusal Mendis does well to gobble it up low to his left after a slight fumble. Usman Khawaja departs after an exceptional 232 (352) and Australia are 547/4.  547/4

14.3 OUT! CAUGHT! That has come out of nowhere and Sri Lanka finally break this opening stand! Well, you live by the sword and you die by it. Head was looking to attack the bowlers from the word go and he has eventually fallen to his own policy, but not before a quickfire 57 (40). Prabath Jayasuriya continues to give the ball flight and Travis Head continues to use his feet. Only this time, he is not quite to the pitch of the ball. He aims to clear long on but for once, the ball hits the bottom of his bat. Hence, he gets more height than distance and Dinesh Chandimal makes no mistake at the fence. Just the kick the Lankans needed heading into the break, as Australia are 92/1!  92/1

30 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Well, when Jeffrey Vandersay woke up this morning, Lady Luck told him, 'Kid, just be patient. I am with you.' He had Labuschagne's name written on one of his amazing deliveries and eventually, he has got his man. Tossed up, outside off, Marnus Labuschagne pushes at it, pretty unconvincingly. The ball spins away, takes the outside edge and flies quickly to first slip. This time, Dhananjaya de Silva makes no mistake. Vandersay is pumped up and he richly deserves this wicket. Labuschagne, forlorn as he is always, even after scoring 200, heads back to the dressing room, crestfallen as well. He got a start, faced 49 balls, made 20 but got out on the 50th ball. The 43-run stand has been broken and AUSTRALIA ARE 135/2!  135/2

99.5 OUT! LBW! At long last, after nearly 70 overs, Sri Lanka get a wicket! And it is the prized scalp of the opposition skipper. Excellent review from Dhananjaya de Silva after missing out on a few on Day 1. Vandersay is a leg spinner but he smartly slips in a googly, around off. Perhaps Smith does not pick it, because he adjusts his batting defense, looking to play for the turn. However, the ball does not turn and goes straight on with the angle instead. Hence, it beats the inside edge of the bat and hits him on his back pad. Kusal Mendis, the keeper, appeals for LBW but the umpire turns it down. The Lankans then take the review and first, UltraEdge is checked, which shows a flat line when the ball goes past the bat. Time for Ball Tracking and it shows to be hitting the top of off stump! Smith's long vigil ends on 141 and the mammoth 266-run stand has been broken after 2-and-a-half sessions. AUSTRALIA ARE 401/3!  401/3

133 OUT! CAUGHT! One brings two for Sri Lanka! Exceptional setup from Prabath Jayasuriya and Sri Lanka as they get rid of the other set batter. With the mid-wicket region completely open, Jayasuriya tosses the ball up, around off and invites the batter to go against him. Inglis skips down to the pitch of the ball and looks to hammer it through mid-wicket but closes the bat face a bit too early. Ends up chopping it straight to Kamindu Mendis at short cover off the leading edge. Mendis takes a good catch above his head with both hands. Josh Inglis departs after a well-made 102 (94) and Australia lose half their side for 570 runs.  570/5

149.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Against everything, run of play and what not, a wicket has fallen. Tossed up, outside off, Beau Webster gets down and drills the cover drive really hard. There is a fielder over there who dives to his right but no one realizes that the catch has been taken. Kamindu Mendis then gets up and indicates that he has taken the catch and Sri Lanka find something to smile about. The 59-run stand is broken and Australia are 629/6. Not a bad knock by Beau Webster who looked gritty for his 23.  629/6

2 OUT! LBW! Matthew Kuhnemann strikes in his very first over! Terrific start for Australia. Kuhnemann lands it around middle and leg, on a length and gets the ball to turn away from the right-hander off the deck, Oshada Fernando goes deep in the crease, opens up his stance and looks to tuck it down but misses on the inside edge and gets hit high on the pad. Up go the Aussies in unison for an appeal and just when Matthew Kuhnemann turned his back to the umpire and looks to the keeper to ask for a review, the umpire raises his finger. Oshada Fernando decides to send it upstairs for a review hoping for the ball to either have pitched down leg or the impact to be too high. But the UltraEdge and Ball Tracking both come in favour of Australia and Sri Lanka lose their first wicket for 7/1.  7/1

4.2 OUT! EDGED, DROPPED, THEN CAUGHT! It is Nathan McSweeney, on as a substitute for Usman Khawaja. Good reflexes. He was excellent in his brief meeting against India at home recently, taking sharp catches behind the wickets. It is almost a replica of what happened on the previous ball. That angle from Starc, left-arm over the wicket forces Karunaratne to play at a ball which he probably could have left alone. The ball comes in after landing on a good length but it is still well outside off. Dimuth Karunaratne looks to guide the ball behind point but there is extra bounce which makes Karunaratne to rise with the ball. He is not in control and gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies behind to gully where McSweeney rises with the ball and half-stops it. Luckily for him, the ball goes straight up in the air. McSweeney initially is not sure where the ball is, so he searches for the ball but then, locates it. Turns back slightly, dives and takes it neatly. The Aussies rush towards him to celebrate as Karunaratne walks back for 7. Sri Lanka are 15/2 and trail by 639!  15/2

9.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Travis Head takes an extraordinary catch! Brilliant bowling and an even better take to see the back of Angelo Mathews! Sri Lanka are reeling at 30/3, trailing by 624 more runs. Nathan Lyon tosses the ball up, around off and gets it to dip in front of the batter. Angelo Mathews takes a good stride to block but the ball dips, turns back in sharply and goes off the inside edge. It lobs off his pads to the right of short leg where Travis Head flings across with an outstretched right hand to grab on.  30/3
