  Karunaratne to Maxwell, out Caught by (sub)Ashen Bandara!! Maxwell's gone! Karunaratne is pumped up. Bandara, the sub fielder who dropped one off the previous ball, doesn't err now. This is a big wicket and Sri Lanka know the value. A slower ball at 99kph, Maxwell waits and pummels it over mid-wicket. The contact was good but the placement wasn't spot-on from the Big Show. Bandara, at deep mid-wicket, times his jump and gobbles it over his head. He is very close the boundary rope and he balances himself superbly to complete the proceedings. Maxwell c (sub)Ashen Bandara b Karunaratne 23(12) [4s-2 6s-2]

  Low full-toss and Finch tonks it past cover and runs three. Karunaratne hits the blockhole and Marsh works it down to mid-on. Chamika hits the pads with a nip-backer and he pleads for a review. Shanaka reluctantly gives into his call. The captain is in fact correct as the ball soars past the stumps on replays.

  AUS vs SL Live: Lanka rebuild

  After the initial Lankan lions have regrouped. Pathum Nissanka and Dhananjaya de Silva have slowly rebuild. Both of them have hit a boundary each. It would be nice to see what is a defendable target at Perth. Last match the chase from England would have become trickier if AFG had fielded better.
