Player of Match: Usman Khawaja

14:25 Local Time, 08:55 GMT, 14:25 IST: Okay, so the umpires have done their inspection and play is set to resume at 2.50pm local.

13:27 Local Time, 07:57 GMT, 13:27 IST: The rain has actually ceased a little. The groundstaff are now slowly getting to work. There's plenty of water on the covers but the groundsmen in Sri Lanka are amongst the best in the world so hopefully they can get conditions ready for play quickly.

13:23 Local Time, 07:53 GMT, 13:23 IST: Almost an hour has passed and unfortunately, we have nothing positive to report on.

12:27 Local Time, 06:57 GMT, 12:27 IST: Unfortunately the rain hasn't stopped. Scheduled lunch has come to an end but the covers remain firmly in place.

Sri Lanka have added 92 runs in this session, but they'll be gutted with the couple of soft dismissals that's clouded over the session. First, Kamindu Mendis was strangled down leg and Dhananjaya de Silva gifted his wicket away by charging down the pitch in a pre-empted manner. Dinesh Chandimal has looked very good and brought up his 31st Test half-century. He and Kusal Mendis, the last batting pair, will have to do most of the hard work if Sri Lanka are to post anything close to Australia's mammoth first innings score of 654 for 6 dec. Starc has taken two wickets and that's huge considering the amount of turn this pitch is offering. Lyon has looked very good, the other two spinners though haven't been consistent. As is the norm here, they are covering the entire ground, this could be just a passing shower and we'll hope for a prompt start to the post-lunch session at 12:25 pm.

11:45 Local Time, 06:15 GMT, 11:45 IST: A big dark cloud is right over the ground. As I type, the rain has become heavier and the players run off. They've called for an early lunch as well.
