Theekshana to bowl te second over and Sri Lanka players have reviewed a possible catch out. Nowhere close to the bat and the review is wasted. Oh my word, the next ball Finch is gone!!! Caught by Asalanka. AUS 11/1 after 1.3 overs.
Warner and Finch are at the crease. Warner is on strike. Karunaratne will open the attack. That's two back to back fours from Warner in the 3rd and fourth balls. They are not messing about here. One is lofted straight down the ground and the next one is cut away. AUS 10/0 after 1 over.
Up in the air and Karunaratne is caught by Carey. Great innings from him under the circumstances, giving Sri Lanka something to defend. SL are all out for 160 runs. Australia need 161 to win.
Labuschagne in to bowl the 43rd over and Karunaratne goes down the ground, hits him for a six!!! He goes again and crunches another one for the second six of the innings. SL 160/9 after 43 overs
Finally a breakthrough for the Aussies as Pramod Madushan has to walk back after getting caught and bowled by Green. The resilient stand is broken. SL 143/9 after 41.1 overs.
38th over to start and Cummins to bowl. He is greeted with a first-ball four by Karunaratne. Another four off the 5th ball brings up 50 for Karunaratne. SL 130/8 after 38 overs
36th over starts now and Australia are struggling to put this Sri Lanka innings to bed as Madushan and Karunaratne have thrown in the anchor and steadied the Sri Lanka innings. Cummins starts with 3 dot balls. Ends the over with just 1 run that too from a wide ball. SL 119/8 after 36 overs.
On to the 31st over as Madushan and Karunaratne have settled in comfortably in the middle. Kuhnemann completes his spell with a maiden over as SL are 108-8.
Huge shout for an LBW but it's safe as Australia lose a review. Another huge shout for an LBW and that's also umpire's call. Hard luck for the Aussies as the home crowd erupts. SL 95/8 after 28 overs.

Karunaratne is the lone hope for Sri Lanka now if they are to dig themselves out from this hole that they find themselves in. Jeffrey Vandersay is giving him company in the middle. SL 81/7 after 21 overs
Dasun Shanaka had no idea how to deal with that delivery of Matthew Kuhnemann. It touches the bat, the pad and then the stumps. Sri Lanka have lost four wickets in the last eight delivers. The team that took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the ODI series is now 62/7 after 17 overs in the final ODI.
Another over, another wicket for Australia. Dunith Wellalage returns after facing just two balls and scoring four runs. The 19-year old had hit a boundary off his first ball and looked to add another the next ball but only finds the safe hands of captain Pat Cummins. Sri Lanka are 61/6 after 16.4 overs.
The hosts are in deep mud as they lose two wickets off two balls. A horrible mix up leading to the run out of Charith Asalanka (14 off 27) and then Kusal Mendis becoming the sixth Sri Lankan batter to be dismissed hit wicket in ODI cricket. After 16 overs, Sri Lanka are 56/5.
The lead cast of Sri Lanka's fourth ODI win against Australia, Charith Asalanka, has his first boundary of the day. The hosts will need him to score some of those 110 runs he did in the last match. After 12 overs, Sri Lanka are 44/3.
A GOOD start this for the visitors. Three wickets in the powerplay and not too many runs on the board for the hosts. Two of Sri Lanka's best batter's in the series however, Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka are still in the middle. After 10 overs, the scoreboard reads 35/3.
