Kane Richardson to Lasith Malinga. Half volley, outside off stump no foot movement driving, inside edge to short leg for 1 run, fielded by Richardson.
Much better performance from the Sri Lankans tonight and they have posted a decent total of 142-6. Kusal Perera was the main scorer with a half-century to his name while there were some lusty blows at the end from Bhanuka Rajapaksa to give them some momentum going into the next innings. Australia will still back themselves to chase this down with David Warner in terrific form at the top.
