Dimuth Karunaratne leads the Sri Lankan team out for one last time. Laxman Sivaramakrishnan reckons he could captain the team for this short innings - they'll start with spin and it's Ramesh Mendis
10:28 Local Time, 04:58 GMT, 10:28 IST: Australia needed a little less than 30 minutes to finish off Sri Lanka today and they've been left with a target of 75, if they are to win the series by a 2-0 margin. Sri Lanka's hopes rested on Kusal Mendis, but he was caught between defending and attacking, and ended up top-edging a Lyon off-break to Smith, giving the Australian captain his 200th dismissal in Tests. Kumara and Peiris battled out a couple of on-field reviews and then an umpiring review, but Webster brought it to a shuddering halt as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 231. The new ball is the time to pick a few wickets, but Sri Lanka have precious few runs to play with. Can they give Australia a fright? Back for the chase shortly..

Lyon to Lahiru Kumara, 1 run, to mid-wicket
67.5
Lyon to Lahiru Kumara, no run, another smart low catch from Webster, Lahiru Kumara is waiting for the 3rd umpire to come into play, but Australia are happy and they're walking off. Was a nicely tossed up delivery on off, drifted in, drew the left-hander forward and spun just about enough to catch the shoulder of the bat. Wenmt low and in front of 2nd slip, but Webster cusps it with his bucket-like hands. Chris Gaffaney needs a few looks, he reckons that it's bounced onto his fingers - NOT OUT is the call and that's a good decision
67.4
Lyon to Nishan Peiris, 1 run, the slider from Lyon, kept coming back into the left-hander, chopped to the right of cover-point and they're off for a quick single - a direct hit and Lahiru Kumara would've been well short

Lyon to Nishan Peiris, no run, the straighter one from Lyon - drifts in and then spins away, past Peiris's outside edge

Lyon to Nishan Peiris, no run, loopy delivery on middle, defended to the on-side
