    Vishmi Gunaratne is given out lbw. She reluctantly reviews the decision.

    With Harshitha Madavi and Vishmi Gunaratne at the crease they have the left-hand right-hand combination and it's challenging for Australia.

  3. SL 62-1published at 11.2 overs

    Alana King thinks she's trapped Vishmi lbw. A huge appeal but nothing given and Australia don't go upstairs. Good job, it was pitching way outside.

  4. SL 60-1published at 11 overs

    Four runs off Grace Harris' latest over. Australia have tightened things up.

  6. SL 58-1published at 10.3 overs

    Play continues with Grace Harris bowling. Earlier she pulled off this stunning catch...

    Now if I know my cricket, I reckon a wicket isn't far away. Sri Lanka are going to have to go for it now. They can't afford to wait to tap around the bad balls, Australia don't bowl many of those!

  8. SL 56-1published at 10 overs

    Tight start from King. Just one run from her first over.

    Sri Lanka's scoring has slowed right down. The pressure is well and truly on.

  9. SL 55-1published at 9.1 overs

    Spinner Alana King comes into the attack and immediately has half a shout as Harshitha mis-times a sweep shot.

    Nope, going down leg and Australia skipper Meg Lanning doesn't give it a second thought.

    The run-rate has slowed down slightly after the wicket of Chamari Athapaththu and the end of the powerplay but Sri Lanka will be happy with how they're going.

    Australia are so good at this. In no time at all, two overs have just ticked by for five runs.

    Grace Harris is the latest to bowl a tidy over. Sri Lanka could do with a boundary.

    Chamari Athapaththu was such a big wicket at the end of the powerplayer.

    She's so good at flicking the switch and going on the attack.

  13. SL 52-1published at 8 overs

    Good start from Wareham even if nothing came of that appeal. Her last four balls were all dots.

  14. SL 52-1published at 7.4 overs

    Georgia Wareham got player of the match the other day. She thinks she's pinned Vishmi lbw but the umpire isn't interested. Neither is skipper Meg Lanning.

    Sri Lanka are able to pick the gaps and rotate the strike. I think they can get a good total here.

    Vishmi 10, Harshitha 24

    In comes Georgia Wareham. Sri Lanka are happy to rotate the strike as they work out her variations.

    Sri Lanka will be pleased with this start. The pitch is slow and turning a lot. Sri Lanka have put the bad ball away and rotated the strike really well.

  18. SL 50-1published at 7 overs

    Four more as Vishmi tickles one through a vacant third man.

    Perry can't find her line at the moment and Sri Lanka bring up their 50.

  19. SL 43-1published at 6.2 overs

    Perry continues. Her first over went for 1-1.

    But that's too short and Harshitha pulls the all-rounder for four.
