Maheesh Theekshana to David Warner, OUT! LBW! Maheesh Theekshana starts off with a flatter delivery, angling in from around off. David Warner looks to defend off the front foot but misses and gets hit on the pads. Huge appeal from the bowler and it is given out. After consulting with Finch, David Warner does review it. UltraEdge shows that there's no spike as the ball passes the bat and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Theekshana strikes on the first ball and the dangerman, Warner walks back without scoring, dream start here for Sri Lanka. Also, Steven Smith walks in at number 3.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! TIMBER! Massive wicket, that is a huge wicket but the shot can be questioned here. Why did Stoinis just try to play that when everything was going along so nicely? Sri Lanka back into the game. This is tossed up outside off, a lot fuller. It is the googly, Stoinis picks it, he goes for the big slog sweep but misses it completely. The middle stump is knocked off. Stoinis was looking brilliant till the time he was out there but this wicket has given Lanka a sniff now. Australia still on top with five wickets left in the bag.

Dunith Wellalage to Ashton Agar, OUT! LBW! Ashton Agar is left dumfounded as he has to walk back and the debutant gets yet another crucial wicket. Dunith Wellalage comes from over the wicket and delivers it on a length, around off. The ball turns back in a long way and Agar is caught on the crease. Agar gets pinged in front and after a huge appeal, the umpire raises his finger. Australia have run out of reviews and there's nothing Agar can do. The replay shows that the ball would have gone on to crash into leg stump, good decision by the umpire.
