Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, Full, outside off, another reverse sweep from Uzzie. This one bounces in front of Dhananjaya de Silva at first slip who does well to make a half stop diving to his right. The ball is parried away and Khawaja wants the single but is sent back.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, CHANCE MISSED! Tossed up, outside off, Usman Khawaja looks to push it to the off side. But the ball lands and then snakes back in viciously. There is exra bounce as well and Khawaja is totally cramped for room. The ball takes the inside edge, hits the pads and then lobs up in the air. Kusal Mendis, the keeper, is alert to sense the catch but unfortunately for him, because he is wearing a helmet, he cannot see the ball once it goes up above his eyeline. He tries to clap his gloves trying to snap the catch somehow, but the ball goes behind him and drops safely.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, FOUR! BRILLIANT! Ahhh... after a while, we are seeing a conventional shot through the off side. And that results in a boundary too, with Khawaja entering the 90s. Overpitched, outside off, Khawaja leans and drives it through the covers. Two fielders give it a chase but do not dive at the fence and the ball goes through. Prabath Jayasuriya is not happy with that effort.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, Around off, Smith eases this through the covers for a run.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, FOUR! Excellent batting. Flighted, on middle and off, Steven Smith comes down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball. Now when you get to the pitch of the ball, there is no danger of the ball turning. Flicks it over mid-wicket and finds the boundary. The stand moves to 73 (74).

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, Full, outside off, Usman Khawaja brings out the reverse sweep again. Gets it to the left of first slip and deep third is a bit fine. Keeps the batters to a single.

Hammy issues? After playing the shot on the third ball of the 42nd over, Usman Khawaja was seen stretching his left hamstring after completing the first run. He was limping slightly but managed to get through the over. Now, the physio is out in the middle. Could be cramps as well but either ways, Uzzie will want to get it looked after. With Smith at the other end, batting will not be easy as he will just make you run and run and run. So you need to be extremely fit to be involved in a healthy partnership with your skipper. Just a couple of tablets popped in and we are ready to resume.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Usman Khawaja, A touch short, around off, Uzzie works it through square leg for a single.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Usman Khawaja, Hattrick of reverse sweeps now. This is through point and Khawaja gets a couple.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Usman Khawaja, Another reverse sweep attempted. Gets an inside edge, onto his pads and the ball lobs in the air, but falls short of short leg!

Jeffrey Vandersay to Usman Khawaja, FOUR! Controlled shot. Moves to 82. A leg spinner, outside off, Usman Khawaja gets down and employs the reverse sweep, to get it past slip, to the fence behind. 200 UP FOR AUSTRALIA!

Jeffrey Vandersay to Steven Smith, Outside off, punched towards cover for a run.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Usman Khawaja, On middle, pushed through point for a single.

Oh my, this is interesting! On 38.4, we did mention that the sound was of the bat hitting the pad. However, UltraEdge shows a big spike even when the ball went past the bat. Review chance gone abegging but we cannot blame them for this. There were two sounds and Dhananjaya de Silva did not want to lose a review if those sounds were from bat and pad.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, Slower through the air, a bit short on middle, Steven goes back and nurdles it behind square leg for a couple.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, Full again, kept out once more.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, Around off, solidly defended.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, FOUR! That's nicely played again. Down the leg side, Steven Smith allows the ball to come to him and nicely uses his wrists to guide it to the fine leg fence!

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, Fuller, around middle, watchfully defended.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, Landed on middle and off, Usman Khawaja reverse sweeps this behind point for a single.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Steven Smith, FOUR! Third boundary of the over and the best of the lot. Vandersay gives this air again and Smith is off the blocks again. Gets the ball right under his bat, takes it on the full and drives it straight back past the bowler, through mid on, down to the fence behind. 50-RUN STAND UP IN 60 BALLS and Smith has scored 33 of those.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Steven Smith, Around off, defended back down the track.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Steven Smith, FOUR! That's well played. Smith comes down the track, takes it on the full and whips it through mid-wicket.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Steven Smith, Fuller, outside off, plenty of away turn, the skipper pushes at it and gets a thick outside edge. It is with soft hands and hence the outside edge does not carry to first slip. It goes past the fielder and the batters take a couple.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Steven Smith, FOUR! And straightaway, Vandersay makes something happen! Floated, outside off, Steven Smith, eager to not let the spinner settle, jumps down the track. He reacts to that ball and looks to go inside out but does not quite hit it from the middle of the bat. It flies towards cover and by the looks of it, short cover gets fingertips on it, as he tries to leap and catch. But the end result, is a boundary at deep cover.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Usman Khawaja, Here's Jeffrey Vandersay. Tosses this one up, around leg stump, Usman Khawaja lunges to defend but the ball spins in, takes the inside edge and goes past short leg. A single taken.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, Fuller, around off, smothered out.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, A touch short, outside off, Usman stays back and pushes it through point for a single. Has reached three quarters of a century now.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, Huge shout for caught behind! The umpire is unmoved while Sri Lanka do not take the review. Beautifully flighted, outside off, fuller in length, Khawaja plays for the turn, lunging to defend but then misses it. There is a noise as the ball goes past the pad and Kusal Mendis, the keeper is instantly up and appealing. But umpire Chris Gaffaney is unmoved. Replay shows the sound was of the bat hitting the pad. Superb decision by the umpire.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, Ooiee. Tossed up, outside off, Usman Khawaja jumps across and blocks. Pretty weird technique, almost reminded me of a certain defensive block by Trent Boult a few years ago against India.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, Genuine flight, outside off, from around the wicket, Smith eases this down to long off for a single.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Steven Smith, Full, outside off, Steven Smith pushes it through the covers. Short extra cover quickly gets to his left to keep the batters at their respective ends.

Nishan Peiris to Usman Khawaja, Flighted, outside off, Khawaja drives it down the ground. Prabath Jayasuriya moves to his right, while his skipper, Dhananjaya de Silva, moves to his left from short cover. In the end, both come too close to each other and bail out, fearing a collision. The ball escapes from their midst down to long off and a single is taken.
