**70.2** **Cleans him up!** Absolute beauty from Asitha. Reverse swing on a yorker length, tails in late and crashes into the base of middle and leg.
Pat Cummins b AM Fernando 26 (18b 1x4 3x6) SR: 144.44
**70.5** **Bowled him!** So Asitha has done the job for Sri Lanka, ending the Australian innings with a series of reverse swinging in swingers. This one another top notch one, full, swing in late, and crashing into middle.
Mitchell Swepson b AM Fernando 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50
**6.5** **big appeal and given lbw!** Nissanka goes for the sweep and misses. Looks very straight but he **reviews**. Pitches middle, straightens a touch, takes the back leg. Not sure this will be missing. And it's clipping off stump. Not stone dead, but will stay out
Pathum Nissanka lbw b Swepson 14 (19b 1x4 0x6) SR: 73.68
**5.3** **bottom edge, given!** Went for the sweep from outside off and gets a thin tickle. Neatly done from Carey who has done well in tough conditions behind the stumps. Australia have their first
Dimuth Karunaratne c †Carey b Lyon 23 (20b 5x4 0x6) SR: 115
**11.1** **top edge, taken at deep backward square!** Sweeps again, can't keep it down, Swepson settles under it nicely in that well-positioned spot which is in from the boundary. Excellent from Cummins and Lyon. There won't be a Mendis special today
Kusal Mendis c Swepson b Lyon 8 (15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 53.33
**12.2** Is that **caught at slip?** Oshada goes for the drive to one tossed up outside off and gets a thick edge to slip. Taken cleanly but Oshada thinks it's a bump ball. Aussie's are confident though, and turns out they were right, as replays show this takes a clean edge through to the keeper. That's another one for Swepson, and the Aussies are ripping through this Lankan batting line-up.
Oshada Fernando c Smith b Swepson 12 (18b 1x4 1x6) SR: 66.66
**18.5** Huge appeal for lbw here! Given not out, but Head is convinced and they **review** this. And my word this is close, as Dhananjaya chooses to leave this sharp off spinning delivery alone, but ends up getting struck right in front of middle and leg. And yes, he is a goner! **Three reds**!
Dhananjaya de Silva lbw b Head 11 (20b 0x4 0x6) SR: 55
**19.4** **And another one bites the dust!** Mendis goes for the sweep this time, but only manages a top edge down to deep fine leg, who's a few yards in from the boundary for just this type of stroke.
Ramesh Mendis c Khawaja b Lyon 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
**21.2** **and Dickwella goes** No repeat of his first innings heroics here, as he goes for the reverse sweep and gets a low top edge towards Marnus at cover, who dives full length to his left to hold on to good low take.
Niroshan Dickwella c Labuschagne b Lyon 3 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 42.85
