Dushan Hemantha to Glenn Maxwell, out Caught by Pathum Nissanka!! Oh my! Nissanka has made up for the drop catch with a tougher catch. He will be a relieved man. Flighted delivery on off, Maxwell sits down and belts the reverse sweep towards backward point.

Hemantha to Josh Inglis, no run, missed stumping! Inglis had no hope had Mendis gathered it cleanly but he fumbles! Such a good delivery from Hemantha who deserved another wicket. It's floated up, drifts in on middle and leg and lures Inglis to flick through the on-side. But there's dip, there's turn and he's completely opened up as it rips past the edge. Unlucky for the leggie!

Hemantha to Mitchell Marsh, out Lbw!! Huge shout for LBW! Mendis is relentless with his appealing but the finger stays down. They've gone for the review. Oh that's plumb. Only thing that could've saved him was the inside edge but it was pad first. Marsh starts walking as soon as he sees the replay and the fightback from Sri Lanka continues. Hemantha again, the one who started it. Beats Marsh in length as he hangs back to a full delivery and is struck on the back pad. Crashing into middle as per ball-tracking.

Hemantha to Travis Head, out Caught by Kamindu Mendis!! Big celebration from Hemantha as he breaks the partnership. Sri Lanka desperately needed that. He switches to over the wicket, slants it wide of off and makes Head reach for the big hit. It's off the bottom of the bat and the catch is taken at long-off.
