- Australia easily account for Sri Lanka, winning by seven wickets
- David Warner back to form with a classy half-century
3rd over: Sri Lanka 25-1 (Perera 7, Asalanka 9) Asalanka isn’t bothered with playing himself in, slapping a short ball over square leg - what a fine shot first up. And the third umpire says it’s a no-ball too: keep your foot behind the line, Pat. Free hit... low full toss, put away in style over extra cover! “Oh my gosh that’s beautiful batting,” gushes Shane Watson, who I’m drawn to already as a commentator.
Urrrgh! Nissanka hit Cummins for a glorious boundary from the delivery ball, clipping him over midwicket with immacute timing, but trying to go in that direction again, he miscues to cover.
