  Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score: Kusal Mendis smashed a Four on Mitchell Starc bowling . Sri Lanka at 228/9 after 87.6 overs

  Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score: FOUR! Squeezed through for a boundary! Full and wide outside off, very wide in fact and Kusal Mendis has to really reach for it. Mendis controls it well and pierces the gap at covers to perfection. Wanted the single but gets the boundary.

  Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score: It’s a Wicket. Ramesh Mendis is out and Sri Lanka at 215/7 after 83.4 overs

  Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score: OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Indecisive from Ramesh Mendis and he is gone! Mitchell Starc follows up the bumper with a good-length delivery, bowled at 144 clicks and it is the cross-seamer that is pushed across the right-hander. The ball isn't quite full and hence RM looks to pull out of the drive but does so quite late and the ball catches the cue end of the bat before going straight into the clutches of Alex Carey behind the stumps. Starc breaks the infuriating stand worth 65 runs as Ramesh Mendis departs for a gritty 28(94).
