Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score, 1st ODI

Wanindu Hasaranga to Aaron Hardie, A sharp confident appeal for LBW and given out! Aaron Hardie decides to take the review! This is another deceptive googly from Wanindu Hasaranga, pitched fuller and around off. It lands and turns into the batter a shy bit. Aaron Hardie premeditates and tries to reverse sweep it away but misses. The ball passes very close to the bat and pins on the back thigh pad. The ball deflects off the thigh pad and lobs and dips towards the first slip fielder who scoops it. But the appeal is for LBW and nothing is on the UltraEdge. The Ball Tracking confirms the impact to be outside the off stump. The on-field decision is reversed.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Sean Abbott, A wrong'un, flat and on a length, turning into middle, Sean Abbott hangs back and works it wide of mid-wicket for one more.

Charith Asalanka to Alex Carey, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! The Sri Lankan skipper cannot put a foot wrong in this game! Both set batters are now back in the pavilion within a few deliveries! Gives it a good flight on a fullish length, just outside off, Alex Carey shimmies down the track and looks to take on the flight. Tries to clear the long off fence, but loses his shape and the bat twists in his hands at the point of contact. Hence, doesn't generate the required power to clear the fence, and ends up slicing it in the air, and straight down the throat of Pathum Nissanka at long off. Alex Carey departs for a well-made 41 (38) and Australia are 85/6.

Marnus Labuschagne gets across and tries to play the lap shot again but misses and the ball pings on the pads. Marnus Labuschagne walks to Carey, has a brief chat with him and sends it upstairs for a review. UltraEdge comes up and shows no spike on it. Ball Tracking confirms that the impact is umpire's call and the ball is hitting the off stump. Marnus Labuschagne will have to walk back and the 52-run stand is broken now with half of the Aussie side back in the hut. Australia now need 132 runs in 195 balls remaining.

Charith Asalanka though goes with the bowler and reviews it. Hasaranga bowls a fuller ball, around the leg stump line and turns into the batter off the deck. Alex Carey leans forward and looks to work it away to the leg side, but misses and the ball pings him on the front pad. No need to check the UltraEdge as the bat was behind the pad. Ball Tracking shows the ball to be sliding down the leg stump line. Sri Lanka burn a review here.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Marnus Labuschagne, Looped up fuller and around off, Marnus Labuschagne drills it down to long off for a single.

DRINKS BREAK! Sri Lanka will be pleased with this start, aided in part by some questionable shot selection from Australia’s top four. Since his arrival, Alex Carey has shown intent, while Marnus Labuschagne has looked to anchor the innings. The pitch has slowed down, with some deliveries keeping low, making batting a challenge. Sri Lanka still have plenty of spin options, with Wanindu Hasaranga yet to roll his arm over. How Australia navigate this spin test will likely dictate the course of the game. Just as we speak, here is he - Hasaranga into the attack.
