  1. Aaron Finch
    Former Australia captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The first 10 overs were extraordinary from Australia. They were out of the blocks. It looked like they didn't appreciate the partnership of Travis Head and Mitch Marsh.

  2. Aus 160-4

    Dushmantha Chameera's over goes for nine runs as Josh Inglis gets his first four through the third.

    But he could have had a wicket to go with it had Pathum Nissanka held on to the catch.

  3. Aaron Finch
    Former Australia captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Pathum Nissanka was on the move and it was right off the toe of the bat.

  4. dropped catch

    Maxwell dropped on 18

    Aus 153-4

    That was up in the air for a long time and Pathum Nissanka has to run a long way to get underneath it.

    He is in fact still on the move as he looks to hold on to catch but grasses it and Glenn Maxwell survives.

    Sri Lanka had very little margin for error after Australia's early onslaught and that drop could prove very costly.

  5. Aus 151-4

    Kamindu Mendis can't complain as Glenn Maxwell hits him for back-to-back boundaries.

    He's given away 15 runs off that over.

  6. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    There has been criticism about Glenn Maxwell in the last couple of days. He is one of those players who loves to prove people wrong.

  7. 6 runs

    Aus 144-4

    First boundary in 15 balls for Australia and it's a big one.

    Glenn Maxwell smokes Kamindu Mendis over long-on - if he can keep firing more of those, Australia will be eyeing a massive score here.

  8. Drinks break

    Aus 136-4

    Just five runs from Dunith Wellalage's over this time.

    Australia have not hit a boundary in the past couple of overs but they will have some time to regroup as players take drinks.

    Sri Lanka have done really well to wrest back some control in this game but the six overs coming up will be crucial.

  9. Aus 131-4

    Dushan Hemantha with a wicket while conceding just four runs in that over.

    Australia have Josh Inglis and Glenn Maxwell in the middle now.

  10. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    The run rate is still really high for Australia - 10 an over. Tim David, the big hitter, was looking to find the boundary, and he has had a quiet World Cup so far. A simple catch out in the deep.

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    David c Hemantha b Kamindu Mendis 6 (Aus 130-4)

    It's up a mile in the air but Dushan Hemantha produces a safe pair of hands to hold on.

    Tim David is the latest Australia batter to return to the dugout.

    They've unravelled ever since that opening partnership between Travis Head and Mitch Marsh was broken.

  12. Aus 127-3

    A good tight over from Dunith Wellalage but finishes with a boundary off the outside edge of Tim David.

    It would've been a different outcome if Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka had placed a slip there.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That stumping there would have changed the game ever so slightly for Australia.

  14. Aus 117-3

    Almost another wicket for Sri Lanka but Kusal Mendis wouldn't want to watch that back again.

    New batter Josh Inglis steps out but is undone by Dushan Hemantha and it's an easy stumping chance for Mendis - but only if he had managed to collect that cleanly first.

    Cameron Green is the ultimate golden boy of Australian cricket. However ordinary he is, he gets chance after chance. Matt Renshaw is a far better player in all formats. Green needs to go back to state cricket to rebuild.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Marsh lbw b Hemantha 54 (Aus 116-3)

    Mitch Marsh is gone!

    The UltraEdge does not show any spike and ball tracking shows it would've gone on to hit the middle.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That is out. It is stone-dead.

    I thought it was a stinking decision to go upstairs!

  18. Sri Lanka review

    Aus 116-2

    A very confident appeal from Dushan Hemantha as Mitch Marsh is trapped in front of the wicket.

    Nothing doing from the umpire but Sri Lanka will send this upstairs.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Cameron Green thought it was going to be straight. Yes, he moved his feet, but not to the pitch of the ball.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Green st Kusal Mendis b Wellalage 3 (Aus 110-2)

    Cameron Green doesn't trouble the scorers much.

    He departs for three as he is well short of the crease when Kusal Mendis unsettles the bails this time.

    The Australia batter charged down on Dunith Wellalage but ends up fencing on the off side at a full, wide ball and makes no contact at all.
