Pathum Nissanka | 23 | 44 | 3 | 0 | 52.27 |
c Alex Carey b Pat Cummins
12.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! This wicket is against the run of play. Pat Cummins has produced the goods. He serves it on a good length outside off at 133 kph and gets it to bounce a bit extra. Pathum Nissanka sits on the back foot, could have left it alone but decides to flirt inside the line of the delivery. He ends up getting a thick outside edge and Alex Carey catches the ball by stretching across to his right. Australia are delighted! 38/1

Dimuth Karunaratne C | 28 | 84 | 3 | 0 | 33.33 |
c David Warner b Nathan Lyon
29.2 OUT! CAUGHT! What a stunner by David Warner! This is a big wicket of the Lankan skipper and Nathan Lyon strikes early after Lunch! Nice loopy delivery, fuller in length and on middle. It's the arm ball. Dimuth Karunaratne gets forward to defend it. However, he gets a big inside edge onto his pads. The ball loops up in the air in front of second slip and David Warner dives forward to take a one-handed stunner. They appeal but the umpire takes it upstairs to confirm whether the catch is clean or not. The replays confirm that it is a clean catch and Dimuth Karunaratne walks back disappointed. Later on, the replays show that all the close-in fielders were appealing for lbw and it was only David Warner who realized that there was a catching opportunity. Smiles all around in the Aussie camp. 74/3

Kusal Mendis | 3 | 15 | 0 | 0 | 20 |
c Alex Carey b Mitchell Starc
16.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mitchell Starc returns and strikes with the first ball of a new spell. He speeds in from over the wicket and delivers it on a fuller length outside off at 139 kph. This one goes on with the angle of the bowler as Kusal Mendis tries to be adventurous, attempting to drive without any footwork. A thick outside edge is generated and Alex Carey has an easy catch to take. A very poor shot selection from Mendis and both the batters dismissed so far have gifted their wickets away. 42/2
|
|||||
Angelo Mathews | 39 | 71 | 3 | 0 | 54.92 |
c David Warner b Nathan Lyon
43.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Nathan Lyon strikes and this is another big wicket for Australia! Nathan Lyon keeps it a touch short and it turns into Mathews from around off. He goes deep in his crease and tries to work it towards the leg side. However, he does not control it completely and ends up hitting it to the left of Warner at leg gully. Another sharp catch is taken and Sri Lanka's ex-skipper is on his bike. 139/6
|
|||||
Dhananjaya de Silva | 14 | 22 | 2 | 0 | 63.63 |
c Alex Carey b Mitchell Swepson
36.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHND! That's a good sharp catch by Alex Carey. Mitchell Swepson comes up with a brilliant delivery, something that leg spinners dream of! He gives this one some extra toss at 87 kph. The ball lands on a fuller length around middle. It grips and then spins away a bit as Dhananjaya de Silva tries to lean forward and defend. He misses and it kisses the outside edge on its way to the keeper. Mitchell Swepson is elated. It's been a great afternoon session for the Kangaroos. Nothing that Dhananjaya de Silva did wrong there, that was an unplayable delivery and would have got most batters out. 97/4
|
|||||
Dinesh Chandimal | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
c David Warner b Mitchell Swepson
36.2 OUT! CAUGHT AT SLIPS! Chandimal bags a golden duck. And what a catch at second slip by David Warner. Beauty from Swepson again. Lovely drift on this delivery. It lands on a fuller length around leg and turns away. Dinesh Chandimal tries to defend but gets an outside edge. It perhaps brushes the gloves of Alex Carey before going to Warner at second slip. He shows great reflexes to go for the catch, and juggles as he falls down flat on the ground but somehow manages to stick it with his right arm near his chest. Steven Smith was also there in the vicinity, trying to help his mate but it was cleanly done by then. Australia on top! 97/5
|
|||||
Niroshan Dickwella Wk | 58 | 59 | 6 | 0 | 98.30 |
c Alex Carey b Nathan Lyon
55.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That's all from Niroshan Dickwella with the bat in this innings. Tossed up, full and around off, spinning away sharply, Dickwella goes down to sweep across the line but gets a faint edge to the keeper. A good reflex catch from Alex Carey and Niroshan's adventurous batting comes to an end. The replays show that it came off the toe end of the bat. 198/8
|
|||||
Ramesh Mendis | 22 | 36 | 3 | 0 | 61.11 |
lbw b Nathan Lyon
53.5 OUT! LBW! Tossed up, landing a touch short around off and turning back in sharply. Mendis goes back inside the crease to play at it but misses and is pinged on the back leg. They appeal but the umpire doesn't agree. Cummins has a word with his players and then takes the DRS. The Ball Tracking shows that it's hitting the stumps. A good review, the bounce didn't play a part. No bat too. Mendis returns but he was involved in an excellent partnership with Dickwella. 193/7
|
|||||
Jeffrey Vandersay | 6 | 15 | 1 | 0 | 40 |
c Mitchell Starc b Mitchell Swepson
59 OUT! Vandersay holes out! Floated delivery, landing full around leg and spinning away, Jeffrey Vandersay sits down on one knee and tries to slog it across the line. It comes from the top half of his blade and it's a simple catch for Mitchell Starc at deep mid-wicket. Sri Lanka are all out for 212. 212/10
|
|||||
Lasith Embuldeniya | 6 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 100 |
c Usman Khawaja b Nathan Lyon
57.5 OUT! CAUGHT! The Flying Khawaja! What a screamer from him and Nathan Lyon has a fifer. Full and floated, around middle, Lasith Embuldeniya advances down the track and flicks it aerially towards mid-wicket. Usman Khawaja is manning that region, he shuffles across to his left a bit and then flies full stretch to catch it with both hands. Superbly done and now Australia are only one wicket away from closing the Sri Lankan innings. 206/9

c Pathum Nissanka b Jeffrey Vandersay
39 OUT! TAKEN! Jeffrey Vandersay comes into the attack and strikes straightaway! More importantly, he gets rid of Usman Khawaja here for his maiden Test wicket! Lovely delivery! Tad quicker, fuller one, around middle, Usman Khawaja leans forward and tries to defend this, but the ball spins in and goes off the inside edge towards short leg. Pathum Nissanka reacts quickly and takes a sharp catch diving across to his left. 157/5

David Warner | 25 | 24 | 5 | 0 | 104.16 |
lbw b Ramesh Mendis
9.1 OUT! LBW! Ramesh Mendis strikes and David Warner doesn't even bother to take the review! The natural variation for an off spinner is on display. Ramesh Mendis pitches it around off and it skids on after landing to beat the forward defense of Warner. He is rapped on the back leg and there is an appeal. The umpire raises his finger and Warner backs back disappointed. Sri Lanka needed this breakthrough! Perhaps, Warner was playing for the away spin as the seam of the ball suggested but it went on with the angle and brought his downfall. 47/1

Marnus Labuschagne | 13 | 19 | 2 | 0 | 68.42 |
c Asitha Fernando b Ramesh Mendis
15.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Marnus has gifted his wicket away here. Poor from the young man. Completely needless. Sri Lanka were under pressure and he has offered them a new lease of life. Flighted delivery, full and around middle, Marnus Labuschagne goes down for the reverse-batted sweep shot, fails to keep it down as it takes the top half of his blade and it goes straight into the hands of Asitha Fernando at backward point. He makes no mistake and Sri Lanka have two wickets in the kitty now. Australia trail by 137 runs. 75/2

Steven Smith | 6 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 54.54 |
run out (Niroshan Dickwella / Kusal Mendis)
19.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Steven Smith is livid with his partner. This is a bonus wicket for Sri Lanka and a body blow to Australia. A loopy delivery, full and around leg, Smith skips down the track to flick but misses. It goes off his pads to covers as the bowler puts in an unsuccessful appeal. Smith sees at his partner and steps forward for a run. Usman Khawaja responds but then stops abruptly. Smudge has no way to go. He tries to scoot back but the throw from the fielder (Kusal Mendis) comes to the keeper and he dislodges the bails. The full-length dive is also not enough. Smith returns shaking his head. 83/3
|
|||||
Travis Head | 6 | 16 | 0 | 0 | 37.50 |
c & b Dhananjaya de Silva
26.1 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Not a smart choice to play across the line on this surface. Loopy and full, landing around middle and turning away towards off. Travis Head leans across in his stance to flick it against the spin but it takes the leading edge and lobs back towards the bowler. Dhananjaya de Silva reacts to his right and takes a fantastic return catch, diving across to his right. Early success for Sri Lanka. Australia trail by 112 runs. 100/4
|
|||||
Cameron Green | 77 | 109 | 6 | 0 | 70.64 |
lbw b Ramesh Mendis
63.5 OUT! LBW! Ramesh Mendis gets rid of a well-set batter here! He grabs his fourth wicket of the game and Australia have lost their seventh. A much-needed wicket for Sri Lanka! Cameron Green departs after an exceptional knock. A loopy ball, this one lands around off and spins in sharply. Cameron Green gets down on his knee and tries to sweep this one but he misses and gets hit on his pads. A huge shout for LBW, and the umpire raises his finger! Cameron Green opts for a review! No bat is involved, confirms the UltraEdge, and the Ball Tracking shows three reds. Cameron Green has to walk back. Pat Cummins is the new man in! 278/7
|
|||||
Alex Carey Wk | 45 | 47 | 6 | 0 | 95.74 |
c Dinesh Chandimal b Ramesh Mendis
54.3 OUT! CAUGHT! That's a fine running catch by Dinesh Chandimal. The 84-run stand has been broken and Sri Lanka can take a huge sigh of relief. Ramesh Mendis hurls it across on a fuller length, around off and turning away, Alex Carey attempts for a big heave across the line but due to the away spin, the ball catches the toe end of his bat and flies behind mid off. Dinesh Chandimal scoots behind, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a very good catch as he goes down. Australia lead by 29 runs. 241/6

Mitchell Starc | 10 | 30 | 1 | 0 | 33.33 |
c & b Jeffrey Vandersay
64.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Jeffrey Vandersay comes into the attack and strikes right away! Full delivery outside off, Mitchell Starc aims for a heave across the line but ends up dragging it off the inner half, straight to the left of the bowler, who dives and takes a lovely catch with both his hands. Flings the ball in the air in celebration and Sri Lanka are looking to run through the tail. 278/8

Pat Cummins C | 26 | 18 | 1 | 3 | 144.44 |
b Asitha Fernando
70.2 OUT! TIMBER! A beauty of a delivery from Asitha Fernando! Pat Cummins was rather expecting a short ball but this is a yorker, around off and swinging in. Pat Cummins hangs back as he looks to block it out but misses and the ball shatters the stumps. Good start by Sri Lanka. 319/9

Australia lead by 109 runs. 321/10

A flighted delivery on the stumps, Nissanka gets down on one knee and looks to sweep it but misses as the ball hits his thigh.

12.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Swepson is already celebrating, the fielders around join in as well. Although the umpire takes his time to raise the finger. The umpires have a chat and decide to go upstairs to check the bump ball. The soft signal is out. The replays show clear spike as the ball passes the blade. Coming to the delivery, it is full and outside off, Fernando tries to dig it out but gets an outside edge and it goes to first slip where Steven Smith takes a sharp catch. 63/4

lbw b Travis Head
18.5 OUT! LBW! Another man bites the dust for Sri Lanka. The umpire wasn't interested at first but is forced to change his decision here. It is looped up, around off, turning in. Dhananjaya de Silva misjudges it completely. He goes deep inside his crease and leaves it alone thinking it would go down leg, although it straightens a touch and causes a lot of trouble. Pat Cummins opts for the review. No UltraEdge is required. The Ball Tracking shows three reds. 96/6

The Australians appeal for the LBW but the finger stayed down. Pat Cummins goes for the review and it works in their favour, as the Ball Tracking shows three reds to end this Sri Lankan innings.
