OUT! Caught. Pat Cummins to Nuwan Pradeep. Half volley, down leg side backing away driving, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Carey. Pradeep gets caught behind trying to drive the ball back to the bowler.
That wicket brings the game to a close with Australia coming out victors. At the start of the Sri Lanka innings you sensed they could pull this off, they were scoring at a great rate and hadn't conceded a wicket. But once Kusal was dismissed the tables turned and they were struggling to get runs. For Sri Lanka this is another game where they have failed to bat for 50 overs, for Australia another win, and another good performance, a spot in the top four is looking even more realistic now.

FOUR! Thisara Perera to Glenn Maxwell. Yorker, outside off stump moves in front working, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Maxwell works this one onto the leg-side to bring up 334 and the close of the Australian innings. A good total, but after Finch and Smith's innings' you would've backed them to get over 350. A good score none-the-less and it will take some chasing down from a Sri Lankan side that has been poor when called upon to bat.

SIX! Thisara Perera to Aaron Finch. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs.
