1st Innings
2nd Innings

Highlights

Lakmal to Warner, FOUR!!, Lakmal ends poorly, a full toss on the middle and leg and Warner is too good a batsman to miss out on that, hammers it over mid wicket and sends it racing to the fence, neatly done

Kulasekara to Watson, SIX!!, Superb shot from Watson, this was full and slanting in, Watson picked it quickly, comes on the frontfoot and just flicks it hard, sheer timing sends it all the way over the fence, terrific!

Kulasekara to Watson, out Bowled!! Kulasekara persisited with those off cutters and has got his man, this one nipped in again from just outside off, too close for the cut Watson attempted, he gets a thick inside edge as a result and drags it onto his stumps, perfect start for Kulasekara and Sri Lanka. Watson b Kulasekara 10(9) [6s-1]

Kulasekara to Warner, FOUR!!, just short of length and skidding on, Warner is quick to swivel on the backfoot, he pulls it and places it to perfection, there was a man in the deep but Warner got it to the right of the man and picks another boundary

Kulasekara to Warner, FOUR!!, Kulasekara overcompensates in line, this one was too far outside off, Warner frees his arms and finds the gap through the covers this time, another boundary and Warner is racing away here

Lakmal to Warner, SIX!!, What power from Warner! This one was just a touch fuller, Warner stretches out and hammers it straight down the ground for maximum, that would have hurt Lakmal's pride, Warner is looking in very good touch

Perera to Marsh, out Lbw!! This one was very similar to the previous delivery, squared up Marsh again as it turns away, Marsh is rapped on the pads and that would have gone on to hit the leg stump, Perera strikes in his first over and SL are right on top. Marsh lbw b Perera 4(7)

Prasad to David Hussey, FOUR!!, short of length and David Hussey is quick to rock onto the backfoot, plays the short arm pull and the outfield is very quick, it races to the fence after it beat the man at mid on

Prasad to Warner, FOUR!!, banged in short by Prasad, Warner goes for the pull, seemed to have missed but the umpire reckons he got some bat on it, it goes behind Sanga to the fine leg fence

Perera to David Hussey, out Bowled!! Perera is having a dream debut! Big turn again from round the wicket, it pitched on the middle and skidded on, turn too and David Hussey misses it completely, the bails are knocked over and Australia in a spot of bother now. David Hussey b Perera 6(8) [4s-1]

Prasad to Warner, FOUR!!, The mid off man was up in the circle, Warner comes on the frontfoot and smashes this past him, the long on fielder made a valiant attempt but it was in vain, Warner continues to fight on

Prasad to White, FOUR!!, short of length and White pulls it hard, finds the gap between deep mid wicket and long on too, he gets another boundary

Perera to White, out Bowled!! Perera is just running through the middle order, poor shot from White, he went for a wild slog sweep, was a little too early in the shot, misses it completely as it turns in and knocks back the off stump, Australia are staring down the barrel now. White b Perera 7(7) [4s-1]

Dilshan to Warner, SIX!!, Top shot from Warner, gets down on one knee and slams this one over the mid wicket fence, picked it from outside off and swung hard, he is waging a lone battle here

Herath to Steven Smith, out Stumped!! Steven Smith continued to go down the track repeatedly without picking the flight and has paid the price for it, this one was flatter and went between the bat and pad, Sanga is quick to whip the bails off and that is the end of Steven Smith. Steven Smith st Sangakkara b Herath 12(17)

Herath to Warner, 1 run, catch dropped, Warner swung hard at this one, does not get the elevation he wanted, it went flat and hard to Dilshan at mid wicket but he puts it down and is miffed with himself

Dilshan to Warner, FOUR!!, short and skidding on, Warner rocks back and slams it to the mid wicket fence to bring up his 6th T20I FIFTY. It has been a fighting knock so far and Aus need him to stay till the end

Herath to Warner, out Haddin Run Out!!1 run completed, Warner had whipped this one to deep mid wicket, the fielder came in quickly and Warner seemed to have been thrown off by the dive by the man coming in from mid on, he was not ready for the second and Haddin was left stranded in the middle of the track, nothing going right for Aus. Haddin run out (Mendis) 7(9)

Kulasekara to Warner, out Caught by Dilshan!! Kulasekara was probably trying this earlier too, this one is full and wide outside off, Warner goes hard at it but does not find the gap, goes straight to Dilshan at extra cover, he does not miss it this time and that is the end of a very good knock. Warner c Dilshan b Kulasekara 53(31) [4s-6 6s-2]

Perera to O'Keefe, SIX!!, tossed up, O'Keefe gets down on one knee and slams it over the mid wicket fence, O'Keefe is going to play some shots here

Perera to O'Keefe, FOUR!!, another one, this time does not middle it as well as the previous one but gets it in the gap through mid wicket, nicely done

Perera to O'Keefe, FOUR!!, O'Keefe is growing in confidence, this time he goes for the reverse sweep, connects it well and picks up another boundary

Kulasekara to Johnson, 2 runs, catch dropped, fuller length, Johnson looks to clear long off but got it in the bottom of his bat, Angelo Mathews makes a mess of a simple chance and allows Johnson to bat on, the catching has been poor from SL today

Kulasekara to Johnson, SIX!!, Lovely hit from Johnson, it was full and on the middle and leg, he stands tall and swings it handsomely over the long on fence, superb hit that

Kulasekara to O'Keefe, FOUR!!, O'Keefe emulates the SL captain or atleast tires too, this one was full and straight, he backs away and scoops it nicely over the keeper's head for another boundary

Lakmal to Johnson, FOUR!!, It is raining boundaries but it is coming a little too late for Aus, on the middle and leg and Johnson smashes it through the vacant mid wicket area for another boundary

Lakmal to O'Keefe, out Bowled!! Lakmal makes up for his poor effort in the previous delivery, fast and straight in the blockhole, O'Keefe misses and Lakmal hits the base of the off stump, very good bowling. O'Keefe b Lakmal 22(12) [4s-3 6s-1]

Prasad to Hastings, SIX!!, Hastings launches the last ball off the innings over the mid wicket fence, it was a huge hit but all it does is reduce the victory margin for SL.

Highlights

Lee to Mahela Jayawardene, FOUR!!, 'take that' says Mahela Jayawardene, makes room and lofts that length ball over mid on, that's all he had to do, the ball ambles away to the long on boundary

O'Keefe to Mahela Jayawardene, FOUR!!, short and wide, that's easy for someone of the calibre of Mahela Jayawardene, rocks back and cuts hard, gets it through backward point, the fielder had no chance of stopping that

Lee to Mahela Jayawardene, out Bowled!! Wonderful bowling from Lee, yorker length but it was sliding down the leg, Mahela Jayawardene backed away looking to open the face of the bat and steer it behind square on the off side, not the right length to play that kind of a shot, played on! The ball kissed the bat, deflected and disturbed the off stump. Mahela Jayawardene b Lee 11(11) [4s-2]

Lee to Dilshan, SIX!!, lethal bouncer but Lee has to pay, Dilshan was late into the pull, gets a top edge and the ball sails over the fine leg boundary, the pace of the ball did the trick

Lee to Dilshan, FOUR!!, too full outside the off stump, Dilshan gets the bat down and steers it behind backward point, third man couldn't do much about it, top shot, sheer timing!

Johnson to Chandimal, FOUR!!, he's backing away to almost eveyrthing now, hits it hard on the pitch, the ball bounces over Johnson and goes down to the long on boundary

Johnson to Chandimal, FOUR!!, the crowd are loving it! Short ball again, Chandimal pulls it behind square this time around, no fielder there, races away in no time

Johnson to Chandimal, out Hit Wkt!! Oh dear! Is this the first hit-wicket in T20Is? Guess so. Comedy of errors from Chandimal, shuffled across and slipped as he looked to clip one across the stumps, the front leg went on to kiss the stumps, the bails fall down, the keeper notices it and the Aussies are overjoyed, end of Chandimal! Chandimal hit wkt b Johnson 11(11) [4s-2]

Hastings to Dilshan, FOUR!!, too easy! Dilshan could have gone back to the pavilion for a cup of tea and come back by that time, too slow, and also a juicy full toss outside the off stump, Dilshan waits and places it pretty well, sweeper cover had no chance!

Hastings to Dilshan, FOUR!!, short ball, pulled away through square leg, top shot!

O'Keefe to Sangakkara, FOUR!!, Sangakkara sweeps and sweeps hard, connects it pretty well and beats the fielder in the deep

Steven Smith to Sangakkara, FOUR!!, Sangakkara spoils the party, goes straight over the bowler's head, that's the safest region to play the lofted shot, a couple of bounces and into the fence

Johnson to Sangakkara, FOUR!!, handsomely done! Sangakkara lofts it over Johnson, mid off was up and Sangakkara knew that the risk involved in that one was pretty less, gets four more

Johnson to Sangakkara, FOUR!!, full and on the leg stump, Sangakkara flicks it beautifully behind square, perfect placement, he gets four runs for that! The fifty partnership is up with that, Johnson is not having a good time out in the middle

Watson to Sangakkara, out Caught by White!! Soft dismissal that, Sangakkara goes across looking to flick it, ends up chipping it straight to White at mid wicket, he failed to read the slower one, checked his shot at the last moment, didn't do him any good, a fine innings though. Sangakkara c White b Watson 30(22) [4s-4]

Steven Smith to Jeevan Mendis, FOUR!!, Jeevan Mendis reverse sweeps! Does extremely well, third man was up and he gets it past him, the fielder was flying in the air to stop that, but couldn't get his fingers to the ball

Watson to Dilshan, FOUR!!, Dilshan failed to get it right the first time, but this time around, there was no stopping him, gets the Dil-scoop out of the middle of the bat, the ball goes over the keeper for a boundary, Watson doesn't look at Dilshan, walks back to his run up

Watson to Jeevan Mendis, FOUR!!, top shot! Not too short, but Jeevan Mendis seemed to have that extra bit of time, pulls it in front of square on the on side and dispatches it to the mid wicket boundary

Hastings to Dilshan, FOUR!!, slower bouncer, Dilshan makes a feast out of it, pulls hard over square leg, David Hussey came charging to his left, puts in a dive but there was no way he could have caught that, one bounce over the ropes

Hastings to Dilshan, FOUR!!, Hastings is getting too predictable here, slower one again out of the back of the hand, Dilshan gets down on one knee and sweeps it hard, rockets away to the deep square leg boundary, FIFTY for Dilshan

Hastings to Dilshan, FOUR!!, everything he touches is turning into gold here, he was in two minds, wanted to reverse sweep but just tapped the ball to get it between the keeper and short third man, rolls away to the third man boundary

Hastings to Dilshan, FOUR!!, make that three in a row! Dilshan is on fire, 20 runs off this over, short ball and that was as easy as it could get, pulled off the frontfoot through mid wicket, beauty!

Lee to Jeevan Mendis, FOUR!!, this bloke looks too good for this format, intelligent cricket, it was full and outside the off stump, got the bat down and and opened the face to steer it down to the third man boundary

Lee to Jeevan Mendis, FOUR!!, the 150 is up with that fantastic cover drive, bisected the two fielders in the deep, a fine little cameo this one is turning out to be

Watson to Dilshan, SIX!!, Dilshan has been unstoppable today, much better this time around, gets down on one knee and slog sweeps it over deep square leg, enough power on that one to sail into the stands, the crowd are going crazy at Pallekele, amazing scenes!

Watson to Dilshan, FOUR!!, short ball, there is no deep point, Dilshan has it all easy, goes back and cuts it behind square towards the square third man boundary

Watson to Dilshan, FOUR!!, Oh! This man is a treat to watch, effortlessly done, it was full and outside off, steered behind point and that was enough for the ball to run away to the boundary

Watson to Dilshan, SIX!!, CARNAGE! Absolute carnage at Pallekele, Dilshan slog sweeps it over deep mid wicket this time around, that goes a long long way, into the stands and Dilshan moves into the 80s

Johnson to Dilshan, SIX!!, Dilshan has muscled this one over wide long on, full swing of the bat and he moves on to 90 with that big hit, cleared the rope with ease!

Johnson to Dilshan, SIX!!, MASSIVE! Dilshan was going across as Johnson delivered it, heaves it with utter disdain, sends the ball sailing into the stands, the noise levels have reached the upper limit!

Johnson to Dilshan, FOUR!!, CENTURY for Dilshan, and what a way to get it! The Dil-Scoop, wrong length, it was too full, Dilshan gets it just over short fine leg and it rolls down to the boundary

Johnson to Dilshan, FOUR!!, Oh Ho HO! The Aussies will be terribly disappointed, pulled over mid wicket this time around, there were three fielders running for the ball, but nobody could get towards it, four more
