Australia 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
SR Watson	c †HAPW Jayawardene b Herath	22	25	19	5	0	115.78
6.1 and he strikes first ball! Or does he? Yes, he does. This ball is six overs old, and turns a mile when tossed up by Herath. Watson pushes forward to defends this, the ball pitches short of a driving length, around off, and then breaks away and bounces to take the edge - a healthy one - through to P Jayawardene, who is the best wicketkeeper to spin bowling 28/1
PJ Hughes	c Paranavitana b Lakmal	12	39	31	2	0	38.70
9.4 What a pitch! What a beauty this Test could be. Takes off, explodes, from short of a length. It's close to off, and Hughes is committed to playing at it. The extra bounce means he has to fend at it, and it takes the shoulder of the bat before lobbing to slip. He didn't even run his fingers across this one. Let me remind you this is just the 10th over. Vicious bounce there from a length 36/2
RT Ponting	c Mathews b Herath	44	114	83	6	0	53.01
36.2 Gone! Yet another start by Ponting left unconverted into a big one. Just like the last over, Ponting comes down the track and wants to go straight over Herath's head, doesn't quite get close to the pitch of the ball, this one turns more too, making him go inside out The mis-hit stands up in the air, the mid-off is deep enough to take a comfortable catch 112/4
MJ Clarke*	lbw b Herath	23	60	45	2	0	51.11
24.5 Review time. Clarke is not picking the arm balls. Again pushes forward, plays for the non-existent turn, and is beaten comprehensively. Prasanna Jayawardene is so sure this is out he doesn't even look up and starts running towards the bowler. Umpire Kettleborough, though, still thinks it's not out. Sri Lanka go for the review this time, and replays show this is hitting the middle of middle stump, and Clarke hasn't even got outside the line of off. Couldn't have been plumber had he been fixing pipes. Strange he wasn't given out originally 91/3
MEK Hussey	lbw b Dilshan	95	246	177	7	3	53.67
86.4 Given leg-before! Again it's the straighter ball from an offspinner that has done the damage here. This pitched outside off, Hussey defended, playing for the spin, the ball went on with the arm, hit the pad, right in front of off. Kettleborough took his time, then raised the finger. Hussey reviewed it just in case. Replays say there is no just in case here 273/10
UT Khawaja	b Welegedara	21	68	58	0	0	36.20
53.2 Reverse swing! Timber! Khawaja's tentative stay ends. He has always shown the bowlers a tempting gap between bat and pad, and this time Welegedara sneaks through it. This is just short of a yorker length, Khawaja drives away from the body, and the late swing squeezes in to hit the stumps 157/5
BJ Haddin†	c Mathews b Randiv	24	44	46	3	1	52.17
67.3 Sharp offbreak, sharp catch! This is quick, turning in sharply, Haddin turns it around the corner... around the corner is Mathews at backward short leg who takes a smart low catch in front of him 205/6
MG Johnson	c †HAPW Jayawardene b Lakmal	14	36	33	1	0	42.42
76.4 soft soft dismissal after many much more menacing deliveries! This is short and wide, going wider, but Johnson goes for the pull as opposed to the cut, and gets a faint bottom edge through to PJ. It was so innocuous the slips didn't even realise he had edged it! 234/7
RJ Harris	lbw b Lakmal	1	8	5	0	0	20.00
78.1 Finally they get an lbw out of Kettleborough. This takes a long internal deliberation, though. This is short outside off, Harris doesn't offer a shot, the ball seams back in sharply, and hits him just under the knee roll, just outside off. Because he was not playing a shot, the point of impact was irrelevant. To me, it looked like it would have the the top of off. Kettleborough takes his time before sending Harris on his way. Harris mulls a review, but doesn't ask for it. I tell you what, the ball projection shows this didn't come back in to hit the stumps! Even if Harris thought he was out, he should have gone for that strategic review 236/8
TA Copeland	c Paranavitana b Randiv	12	21	16	3	0	75.00
81.6 Sharp turn, simple bat-pad catch. This is flighted, draws Copeland forward, who looks to play this to leg, is not close to the pitch of the ball, gets an inside edge onto the pad, and an easy catch accrues for short leg 251/9

Sri Lanka 1st innings		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
NT Paranavitana	lbw b Watson	29	182	115	3	0	25.21
42.4 Watson continues to strike the pads, this time it is Para who has to depart, three wickets in three overs, end of Para's prolonged vigil, it kept low as it came in with the angle from round the stumps, he was caught in the crease and almost fell over as he missed the work on the leg side, that would have hit leg stump as Sri Lanka find on the review, two reviews against umpire Kettleborough off Watson, and both have been turned down 88/6
TM Dilshan*	c Ponting b Copeland	4	4	2	1	0	200.00
1.2 and he goes after the next one too, but ends up gifting Copeland his first Test wicket! Dilshan trying to take on the debutant and sticking to his way of going after pitched up deliveries outside off, this one was floated a touch wider, drew him out that much more and then moved away, the flailing drive from Dilshan flew in the air and Ricky Ponting at short cover snaps it up smoothly, that was screaming past him, Copeland roars, Dilshan walks 4/1
KC Sangakkara	c Clarke b Lyon	10	60	40	1	0	25.00
15.1 he has struck first ball, would you believe it! he has got Kumar Sangakkara, of all men, what a first Test wicket to have, off your first ball, flight from round the wicket, grip, turn, bounce, Sanga hangs out the bat away from the body, with a bit of an open face, Clarke snaps it up low with a lunge to his left at slip, superb catch, aye, aye, this is an attack being led by the debutants at the moment 24/2
DPMD Jayawardene	run out (Copeland/†Haddin)	11	32	29	2	0	37.93
23.1 Lyon to Paranavitana, Mahela is run out, what an absolute waste of a big wicket, shortish from round the stumps and slapped towards point off the back foot, they go for the single, but the fielder gets to the ball and lobs it off balance to Haddin who still manages to catch Mahela short of his ground, guess who it was, it was Copeland, and even if Mahela would have made it, Para could have been in trouble as he stood rooted mid-pitch watching Mahela get in to trouble at the other end, he just stood motionless, and then realised that he had to get to the other end as well 44/3
TT Samaraweera	lbw b Watson	26	69	63	2	0	41.26
40.1 that is plumb, that is gone, Watto has struck with that incoming delivery, consistently getting that shape in to Thilan who was being troubled by it, chose to play from the crease, it zipped in sharply from a length, and caught him right in front, goner 87/4
HAPW Jayawardene†	lbw b Watson	0	3	4	0	0	0.00
40.5 and another one, that incoming delivery does it for Watson again, Prasanna pushes forward in defence but it comes in and hits him high on the pad, umpire Kettleborough gives him out after some thought, Sri Lanka go for the review, only to find that was hitting leg 87/5
AD Mathews	b Lyon	5	39	19	0	0	26.31
47.1 bowled 'em! on the sweep, Angelo looks to sweep a very full delivery on off stump, goes down on his knee but misses the line completely, he wanted to connect on the full, couldn't, Lyon found the stumps as it turned in past Angelo, his debut just got better 100/7
S Randiv	c Ponting b Lyon	9	29	19	1	0	47.36
49.1 Ponting is in the way of a screamer at short midwicket, and the ball is not going to get past him, Randiv down the track and hitting with the turn, he timed it well too, but Ponting gobbled it up easily to his left 103/9
HMRKB Herath	c Johnson b Lyon	0	1	2	0	0	0.00
47.3 another one goes, Lyon has three, Herath on the slog sweep, and finding deep midwicket, trying to hit his way out of trouble and finding it with precision in the deep 100/8
RAS Lakmal	not out	2	11	5	0	0	40.00

UWMBCA Welegedara	c & b Lyon	1	3	4	0	0	25.00
49.6 Lyon has five on Test match debut, and boy, has he earned the fifth one, tossed it up, it dipped and Welegedara went after it, it flew in the air to Lyon's right, but he went flying and got a hand to it, and ensured it din't pop out as he fell on the ground, almost immediately he stood up and raced away, holding the ball up 105/10

MJ Clarke*	c †HAPW Jayawardene b Herath	60	105	80	7	1	75.00
