OUT! TAKEN! Now Shanaka gives it away! Swepson gets his first! And probably, Lanka's last hope of getting to that 240-run mark is walking back. All that pressure which was being built by dotting Dunith Wellalage has probably got to him. Swepson tosses it up nicely, it is the leg spinner outside off. Dasun Shanaka looks to heave it over long on but this one turns away, it goes off the outer half towards point. It is taken by Maxwell.

On off, shorter, this is guided to poinbt.

Slower through the air but well outside off, left alone.

Drinks! Australia are all over Sri Lanka right now and they will now look to bundle out the hosts under 200 and it is very much possible as well. Things depend on how Dasun Shanaka plays from here as he is the last known batter. Dunith Wellalage joins him in the middle.

OUT! TAKEN! Chamika Karunaratne holes out! Not sure, just not sure about the shot. It was surely not the call of the hour. Chamika Karunaratne has given it away.

Cummins takes it easily. Lanka slip further. 240 now looks far away.

We are all set for the action. The players are out in the middle. Danushka Gunathilaka and Pathum Nissanka are the openers for Sri Lanka. Josh Hazlewood to start with the ball. Here we go...

The captain of Australia, Aaron Finch says it looks like a good surface and there might be moisture and it will aid them.  Informs Stoinis, Agar and Richardson are out and in come Matthew Kuhnemann, Mitchell Swepson and Travis Head. States there were areas to improve and they will look to do better in this game. Dasun Shanaka, the skipper of Sri Lanka says the Aussies were really good in the last game and informs Wanindu Hasaranga is replaced by Jeffrey Vandersay. Shanaka ends by saying Hasaranga is a huge loss but they hope Vandersay can do well.

Pitch Report - Russel Arnold is pitchside. He says the pitch is similar to the first match. Adds that spin is a threat and the batters need to use their feet more. Tells it is on the dry side, there are cracks and as the game goes on, it will turn. There is rain around and the covers have been on for a long time. Shares the captain might take a chance and bowl first here.

SRI LANKA (PLAYING XI) - Danushka Gunathilaka, Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Kusal Mendis (WK), Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (C), Chamika Karunaratne, Jeffrey Vandersay (IN FOR Wanindu Hasaranga), Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage.

AUSTRALIA (PLAYING XI) - David Warner, Aaron Finch (C), Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Travis Head (IN FOR Marcus Stoinis), Alex Carey (WK), Glenn Maxwell, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Swepson (IN FOR Jhye Richardson), Matthew Kuhnemann (IN FOR Ashton Agar), Josh Hazlewood.

TOSS - AUSTRALIA HAVE WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO FIELD!

So, we have a debutant for sure as Matthew Kuhnemann has been handed his cap. That probably means Agar will be missing out.

Marcus Stoinis is another victim to the long list of injuries for Australia but with the availability of a strong bench, Josh Inglis or Travis Head might get a chance to play. Sri Lanka on the other hand will be pretty pleased with their performance in the first match but an extra push will be needed this time to level the series. Sri Lanka have a huge blow as well, as their star player Wanindu Hasaranga is unavailable due to a groin strain. Will Sri Lanka level things up or will Australia go two-nil up? We will find out soon. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.
