DRINKS BREAK! Nathan Ellis gets in on the act for Australia, and this wicket has now opened one end for the tourists. With Australia into the tail, the pressure is mounting on Charith Asalanka, who will need to shepherd the tail and farm the strike to help Sri Lanka post a competitive total. Even during this middle phase, the movement off the deck has been evident, and the Aussie seamers have exploited it to great effect. They will be keen to wrap things up quickly, relying on their pacers to finish off the tail and bowl Sri Lanka out for a modest total. Maheesh Theekshana is the new man in.

The ball zips close to the outside edge and crashes into the stumps. Wanindu Hasaranga departs for 7 (14). Sri Lanka are 133/7 now with the skipper stranded alone at the other end.
