Ball 3: Hazlewood to Shanaka, 1 run, byes, Another yorker and Shanaka again misses. They steal a bye and there is an overthrow, which makes the batters go for another. Maxwell is too good though, firing a direct hit at the bowler's end and Chandimal is well short. SL 1/1

22:54 Local Time, 11:54 GMT, 17:24 IST: Blockbuster game of cricket. 165 was a middling total, but Sri Lanka were jolted early with the new ball, making their chase tough. Things looked bleak until Nissanka and Shanaka put them right back on course with a superb partnership. The Sri Lankan skipper in particular was in ominous ball-striking form, but his freak run out once again shifted the momentum Australia's way. Nissanka didn't back down though, and went hard. However, when he fell with 12 needed off four, you thought the game was done. But M Theekshana smashed a six first ball and with five needed off the final ball, Chameera slammed the boundary. Australia will wonder how they let things slip. Their bowling at times was a bit erratic though, especially Richardson and Stoinis.

Stoinis to D Chameera, FOUR, Chameera has levelled the scores here! What scenes out there! Low full toss and it's slammed straight over the bowler's head. Dead straight and one bounce to the ropes. Super Over incoming folks!

Stoinis to M Theekshana, byes, 1 run, should have been a wide but not given. Almost the perfect wide yorker, a tad wider though and they steal a single

Stoinis to M Theekshana, SIX, an unreal effort from Smith near the ropes! Almost saved a six! The catch was never on so he leapt and parried it back before crashlanding outside the boundary ropes. Landed badly and does look hurt as he hit his head while falling. What an effort though! But the ball just touched the ropes on its way back, so it will still be six! What drama! And what calmness from Theekshana, length ball first up and he swipes over deep mid-wicket. Whoa!
