  1. SL 102-3published at 14.2 overs

    In the air...but safe!

    It is more brilliant work from David Warner though as Bhanuka Rajapaksa's drive plugs just short of the long-off boundary and Warner manages to palm the ball back before it went over the rope.

    Here is the first piece of exceptional fielding by David Warner.

  3. SL 99-3published at 14 overs

    Bhanuka Rajapaksa joins Charith Asalanka at the crease. Two new batters at the worst possible time for Sri Lanka. They have little or no time to get their eye in.

    Nissanka run out (Marsh) 40 (SL 97-3)

    Oh my word. What went on there?

    It is disaster for Sri Lanka as Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka get into an almighty mix-up going for a single. Both batters end up in the middle of the pitch and Mitchell Marsh's accurate throw makes it easy for Matthew Wade to whip off the bails.

    Nissanka is on his way.

  5. SL 92-2published at 13 overs

    Charith Asalanka gets in on the act with a four through mid-wicket to complete a fine over for Sri Lanka - 14 runs off it.

    The foot has been pressed on the accelerator.

  6. 6 runs

    SL 88-2published at 12.4 overs

    Pathum Nissanka makes Australia pay next ball, smashing Mitchell Marsh back over his head for a huge six!

  7. dropped catch

    Nissanka dropped on 35published at 12.3 overs

    He very nearly gets a wicket too! Pathum Nissanka pulls it straight to Pat Cummins at deep square leg but he spills the catch.

  8. SL 78-2published at 12 overs

    That wicket has come at such an important time for Australia as Dhananjaya de Silva was starting to look dangerous.

    Time a change of bowling - Mitchell Marsh, who hasn't bowled since August because of an ankle injury, has the ball in hand.

    All credit to Finch bringing a spinner on knowing they have to go hard. That's two brilliant catches by Warner.

    What a catch! Flying around to his left Warner claims it in the deep. Tremendous take. Australia take a wicket at a key moment.

    Dhananjaya c Warner b Agar 26 (75-2)

    David Warner is at it again!

    It is another lofted drive from Dhananjaya de Silva but Warner is able to run round from long-off and take a magnificent catch above his head.

    What an effort! That was incredible athleticism by Warner and in the end they get back for a couple. Sri Lanka are getting moving.

  13. SL 72-1published at 10.5 overs

    Wow! That is incredible from David Warner!!!

    A lofted drive from Dhananjaya de Silva goes towards Warner at long-off who takes the catch, but is able to react as he starts to tumble over the boundary rope and throw the ball back into the outfield.

    Australia have been so sharp in the field so far.

  14. SL 63-1published at 10 overs

    That is another good over from Mitchell Starc, with Sri Lanka struggling to pierce the field. Dhananjaya de Silva goes for a couple of meaty drives but the ball flies straight to long-off.

    Starc is 0-6 from his two overs so far.

    Sri Lanka will be conscious to not take too much of a risk and lose a wicket. If they lose a wicket now it's really good for Australia.

  16. SL 58-1published at 9 overs

    That over was a bit chaotic but you have to credit Sri Lanka for some swift running between the wickets there. This is a big outfield so boundaries may be at a premium, meaning ones and twos are key.

  17. Not outpublished at 8.3 overs

    Yes he did. Stand down everyone.

  18. Umpire reviewpublished at 8.3 overs

    We go again. Sri Lanka go for a second run off a Ashton Agar misfield, but Agar's throw clatters into the stumps.

    Did the diving Nissanka get home in time?

  19. Not outpublished at 8.1 overs

    Nope. Nissanka was comfortably home.

  20. Umpire reviewpublished at 8.1 overs

    Have Australia run out Pathum Nissanka here? Sri Lanka were pushing for two but a direct hit from the outfield had Nissanka scrambling for his crease.
