9.6 Wellalage to Green, OUT

Stumped all ends up, and Green perishes!

Cameron Green st †BKG Mendis b Wellalage 3 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 42.85

50 for Marsh

10.1 Hemantha to Marsh, FOUR runs

Dragged down, and Marsh announces his return to the side with a half-century! Sits up nicely just outside off and Marsh rocks back to hammer it to deep mid wicket's right!

Australia Innings

10.4 Hemantha to Marsh, OUT

Big, big lbw appeal, but the umpire is unmoved! Fizzed through on a length on middle and off. Marsh gets caught on the crease and then dabs it away with bat and pad very close together. SL reckon the ball has clipped the pad first and gosh, they are right. The first impact is on the back leg, and Marsh might have to walk here. Ball tracking comes up and...it is missing leg. And off. Because it is clattering into middle. Marsh has to go, and SL on the charge now!

Cam Green has faced 56 balls from spinners that turned away from him in T20Is in 2026; he has scored 68 runs off those, getting dismissed four times.

The delivery that dismissed Head was the widest outside off stump he received from a spinner today.

A terrible shank, and David perishes too! The crowd are having a roaring party now!

Drinks are on the field now.. After that initial onslaught from Head and Marsh, Sri Lanka have pulled things back nicely through their spinners.
