Over 9.5 KW Richardson bowls it short of length to Dimuth Karunaratne, out Caught by Alex Carey!! Short ball angling away outside off, gets slightly big on Karunaratne who was hesitant on the pull, a fine nick and easy catch to the keeper.

Over 16.2 GJ Maxwell bowls a quicker arm ball to Kusal Perera, out LBW!

Over 24.6 Nathan Lyon bowls a quicker delivery to HDRL Thirimanne, out Bowled!!  Bowls the cross-seam delivery and lands it around the good length to beat Thirimanne on the forward push, done him in the air and the ball crashes into the top of off. 

Over 27.1 Adam Zampa tossed up delivery to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Lyon!! Mendis is already on the slog-sweep, gets under the length and nails it flat. A little too flat, a little too far. Picks out deep mid-wicket.

Over 33.4 Steven Smith bowls a quicker arm ball to AD Mathews, out Caught and Bowled!! Mathews could've smashed it anywhere, but he ends up drilling it to Smith's left, for a diving stunner.

Over 37.5 Adam Zampa bowls a quicker arm ball to Jeevan Mendis, out Lbw!! Mendis tries to get on top of, but then misses all ends up. Even the lack of spin on it won't stop this from being plumb. Pitches on leg, strikes him on middle, HawkEye shows it to be crashing into off.

Over 47.1 Pat Cummins bowls a good length delivery to Thisara Perera, out Caught by Maxwell!! A front-leg clearing pull, decent timing on it as well, but doesn't get the distance. Maxwell's there at a half-deep mid-wicket, 

Over 48.4 Mitchell Starc bowls a pitched up delivery to RAS Lakmal, out Bowled!! Attempted smoke down the ground. But ends up swinging down the wrong line completely, well outside, and the leg poles cleaned up.
