46.2 to DM de Silva, steered to gully! Great catch by Webster! 138kph, full and wide, very full, hint of tail away, he square drives half-heartedly and steers it off a thick edge low to Webster and it disappears into the big Tasmanian buckets in the gully. 127/5 83.4 to RTM Mendis, caught behind! Too much pace. 144kph, good length, scrambled seam angled across, he was caught on the crease unsure whether to play or leave, tried to withdraw the bat late but gets a touch through to Carey. 215/7 83.5 to NGRP Jayasuriya, taken at slip! Great catch by Smith! Starc on a hat-trick. 137kph, good length, angled across on off, he's caught on the crease pushing down the wrong line, he gets a thick edge and Smith moves low to his left to take the catch. 215/8 | ||||||||||
| 33.4 | 9 | 63 | 3 | 1.87 | 159 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
60.2 to LD Chandimal, has Carey got him?! He's confident. Lovely piece of bowling. Spins and bounces past the edge as Chandimal presses forward. More lovely glovework from Carey. Did the back foot lift or drag? Nothing behind the line, he's gone. 150/6 86.1 to KN Peiris, bowled him! 85kph, tossed up into the footmarks outside off, he plays for too much turn, it beats the outside edge as he is barely beyond the popping crease with his front foot and crashes into off. 224/9 97.4 to CBRLS Kumara, taken at second slip! Superb catch by Webster! Tossed up into the footmarks, he defends on the front foot but plays the wrong line and gets a thick edge that flies low to Webster and he takes a brilliant reflex catch. 257/10 | ||||||||||
| 34 | 5 | 96 | 3 | 2.82 | 144 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
7.4 to P Nissanka, bowled him round his legs! Goes for the sweep, gets too far across, misses and it clips leg stump. Nissanka can't quite work out what happened. Just clipped the leg bail. 23/1 32.3 to FDM Karunaratne, through him! Lyon strikes. Slides on from round the wicket, Karunaratne is on back foot, he is late bringing the bat down and gets the toe end into the leg stump. That's some lovely variation by Lyon. 93/2 38.3 to AD Mathews, edged, gone! That's loose from Mathews. Very wide outside off, touch of drift takes it wider, he reaches well away from the body, gets a thin edge which is well held by Carey. Mathews batted himself into a hole. 101/3 | ||||||||||

45.6 to PHKD Mendis, golden arm does it! Smith pouches the edge at slip! Head shakes his hand suggesting his spinning fingers are on fire again! Good length, fourth stump, some decent spin, not the length or line to force off the back foot, he tries to punch from the crease and gets a thick edge that flies quickly to Smith at slip and he pouches it beautifully. 126/4 | ||||||||||

6.4 to TM Head, edged, taken at slip! Head using his feet, looks to loft down the ground, turns (there's a puff of dust as well) takes a thick edge which is comfortably taken by the captain. 32/1 24.5 to UT Khawaja, Khawaja given lbw! He reviews. It's Wilson again. This looks plumb though. Good length drifting in and skidding on, he tries to pull but it's not the length. No bat as it thuds into the back leg infront of middle. Three reds on ball tracking. This is smashing middle and leg. Khawaja misjudged the length and line and takes a review with him. 91/3 95.1 to C Connolly, wild shot and he slices to backward point! Connolly will regret that shot. He skipped down early to a length off break but was nowhere near the pitch or the line and tries to launch down the ground but slices a thick outside edge high to backward point. Easy catch for Ramesh Mendis. 384/7 | ||||||||||
| 38 | 6 | 151 | 5 | 3.97 | 142 | 16 | 2 | 0 | 0 | |
7.5 to M Labuschagne, huge appeal! Not given! Jayasuriya is pleading. They have called for the review. This slides on, beats Labuschagne on the back foot. Has it straightened enough? Can see off and middle stumps. Three reds! Smashing leg stump. He was a long way back, the ball didn't have far to go. Lovely piece of bowling from Jayasuriya. 37/2 84.3 to SPD Smith, edged, got him! Smith's gone. Lovely piece of bowling. Pitches on off stump, grips, Smith comes forward and it takes a thin edge. 350/4 84.5 to JP Inglis, through him! Two in three balls. Things are happening. Inglis plays back to a reasonably full delivery that skids on, takes a little inside edge and maybe some pad into middle stump. A century followed by a duck.. 350/5 92.6 to AT Carey, cleaned up! Another for Jayasuriya. Eventually the sweep fails for Carey. Pushed through full at off stump, aiming to deep midwicket, plays over the top of it. 373/6 103.5 to MA Starc, bowled him! Jayasuriya has five! He was all over Starc. One big spinner, two slide past the edge, a fourth tossed up on off, he tries to sweep and misses and losses his off stump. 406/8 | ||||||||||
| 22.4 | 0 | 81 | 2 | 3.57 | 82 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
104.3 to BJ Webster, clean bowled by a huge offbreak! Wow. Sri Lanka might be pleased and concerned at the same time. Tossed up way wide of off into the footmark, it spins back viciously through the gate and hits the top of leg!. 406/9 106.4 to MP Kuhnemann, clean bowled! He skips down early, it's a good length, drifting into off and dropping, he's nowhere near the pitch trying to loft and it spins past the edge to hit the top of off!. 414/10 | ||||||||||

1.3 to P Nissanka, through him! Australia have their first. Very much like Inglis' earlier dismissal. Good length, sliding on, Nissanka playing back when he should have been forward. Not great technique against new-ball spin, really. 9/1 12.1 to FDM Karunaratne, given caught behind! Karunaratne has reviewed in an instant. Wider outside off, he reached away from his pad. And there's a spike! That's the end of Karunaratne's Test career. 33/2 39.5 to DM de Silva, edged, what a catch! A stunner from Smith. That's another for his collection, if it's clean. The umpires are checking upstairs. Smith is convinced. Kuhnemann drew him forward on off stump, turned enough to take the edge, and that's clearly a clean take. Magnificent catch, scooped his right hand underneath it with room to spare. What a game, and series, he's having. Very nice bowling, too, by Kuhnemann. Drifted into middle, burst through the surface and turned sharply.. 128/5 62.1 to NGRP Jayasuriya, nicked to slip! Smith pouches it. Wonderful delivery. Drifting into middle, spinning away, he's forced to defend, gets a thick edge and it flies straight to Smith at slip who takes a simple catch. 211/8 | ||||||||||

13.4 to LD Chandimal, taken at mid-off! Brilliant catch from Webster. Lyon gets his 550th Test wicket. Round the wicket, full at off stump, Chandimal uses his feet and connects with a powerful skimming drive but Webster does superbly to get low at mid-off to hold on. 39/3 25.4 to PHKD Mendis, chipped to mid-off! It seemed a matter of time. Tossed up full, it dropped on him as he tries to drive and spins out of the rough, he miscues off the outer half of the bat and it floats to Khawaja at mid-off. 81/4 57.1 to AD Mathews, picks out fine leg! Great catch from Webster! Tossed up outside off, he sweeps but decides to get under it deliberately, it flies to Webster at wide fine leg about 20 metres off the rope and he takes a very good tumbling catch!. 198/6 63.4 to BKG Mendis, top edge to short fine! Vicious bounce! Good length, pitching on middle, he went back to work legside but it bounced and spun sharply at Mendis and cramped him, he gets a top edge that floats to Smith who is well placed at short fine. That will make Australia very happy. 217/9 | ||||||||||

58.5 to RTM Mendis, taken at short leg! Webster strikes with offspin! Flighted on off, some spin and bounce, he prods forward with hard hands and can't control the bounce, it pops off the sticker of the bat and Head takes the simple chance at short leg. 199/7 68.1 to CBRLS Kumara, bowled him! No doubt this time! Tossed up on off, he tries to slog sweep over deep midwicket, he misses and it crashes into off. 231/10 | ||||||||||
