Dhananjaya de Silva to David Warner, OUT! TIMBER! Warner goes now! Sri Lanka finding a way into the game! This is on a length and drifting around leg.

Chamika Karunaratne to Steven Smith, OUT! TAKEN! Steven Smith falls to the trap and he is very disappointed with it. A slower bumper, angling on leg. Smith hangs on the back foot as he plays the pull shot but hits it straight to Maheesh Theekshana at short fine leg, as he gets low and takes it well. Another timely wicket for Sri Lanka. They are not letting the game go away easily. 123 needed more.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Travis Head, FOUR! Boundary to end the over! Shorter and on off. Head cuts it very late and the ball races away to the third man fence.

Dunith Wellalage to Travis Head, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Wellalage breaks the stand! Tossed up, full and around off.

He fails to get the distance as he tries to clear the longer side of the ground and Charith Asalanka takes it low at deep mid-wicket. 93 runs needed now.

Dunith Wellalage to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! CAUGHT! A big moment in the match as Labuschagne holes one out! He was looking good but fails to continue. Floated, fuller and just outside off.

Maheesh Theekshana to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Much needed! This is very full and outside off. Glenn Maxwell drives it through covers for a boundary.

Chamika Karunaratne to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! That is a strong shot! Fuller and on off, Maxwell thumps it down the ground, over the mid off fielder and into the boundary. Runs needed below 47. Sri Lanka need wickets.

Chamika Karunaratne to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! TAKEN! That is the huge wicket, huge, huge, wicket. All this while, we here were wondering why is Chamika Karunaratne bowling at the moment! This is why he was given the ball! The crowd here erupts as they know Sri Lanka now have a really strong chance in this game. It is short and outside off, at a good pace. Maxwell looks to drag the pull, he is hurried into it, it goes off the splice towards point. Both point and cover go for it, in the end, it is Shanaka who takes it from covers. Almost a collision but the skipper hangs on. Game on.

Chamika Karunaratne to Alex Carey, FOUR! That is a top shot! Length and on off, Carey strokes it on the up through covers. The fielder in the deep, runs to his left but has no chance.

Chamika Karunaratne to Alex Carey, OUT! RUN OUT! CAREY IS SHORT! Another massive moment in the game as the last recognized batter is out of here. This was not needed, this run was just not needed. This is on middle, it is worked towards mid-wicket. They take one. Carey wants a second and goes for it. Brilliant from Chamika Karunaratne as he runs towards the ball, picks it up and throws it to the keeper who whips the bails off. It is referred, replays show that the batter is short. Sri Lanka on top. Well and truly on top. They are into the bowlers now.

Dushmantha Chameera to Pat Cummins, FOUR! Releases a bit of pressure building! On a length and around off. Cummins lifts it past mid on and it races away to the long on fence.

Dushmantha Chameera to Pat Cummins, OUT! TAKEN! A really unnecessary shot from Pat Cummins but what about the catch there! Serves it short and on off. Cummins was looking in two minds, to evade or to pull, he goes with the latter but it goes off the top edge and to deep square leg where Dunith Wellalage runs forward, dives and plucks it in front of him. Exceptional catch from him and Australia are losing their way here.

Chamika Karunaratne to Mitchell Swepson, OUT! TIMBER! Number 9 down! Sri Lanka can sniff victory now! Length and outside off, Mitchell Swepson goes after it away from the body, he gets an inside edge and it shatters into the stumps.

Chamika Karunaratne to Josh Hazlewood, FOUR! That is very clever from Josh Hazlewood! A lovely upper cut! Shorter and around off, Josh Hazlewood guides it over the keeper and it goes down to the third man fence.

Dushmantha Chameera to Matthew Kuhnemann, OUT! KNOCKED OVER! What a win for Sri Lanka! Pallekele goes bonkers as they celebrate the victory. Chameera serves a length ball, tailing on leg, with good pace. Matthew Kuhnemann steps forward to defend but the angle was going against him and the ball hits the stumps. Sri Lanka win by 26 runs.
