Jayasuriya provoked
Another debutant, and another spinner, Prabath Jayasuriya enters the attack, replacing Maheesh Theekshana (0-8).
The Australians have 1-50 after 16 overs. Khawaja (31) and Labuschagne (12) are the batsmen who have not come out.

Australia makes ‘thirst’ start
By Daniel Brettig
Pretty quiet first hour for Australia, rebuilding a platform around Khawaja. The field is spinning, but not as violently as last week.

Khawaja looks solid as a rock
Khawaja has been by far the most comfortable hitter so far on the first morning.
Races have come relatively easily for the first player, and after 11 overs, he is 25 of 44 balls, including three limits.
Labuschagne (3 of 10) continues to regain his feet after Warner’s dismissal in the fifth final.

Another four for Khawaja
Khawaja tickles Mendis brilliantly up to a thin leg during his third four in the morning, and goes to 17.

Tall Khawaja elegant
A late cut from Khawaja to Mendis is magnificent and goes as far as the third man’s limit for four. It happens to the 13 years.

Rajitha bowls Warner
You have it! Rajitha clean bowls Warner for five!
It was a perfect length that kept its line before fishing back inland. Warner played along the wrong line and his torso has been altered.
Australia have 1-15 after 4.5 overs. Labuschagne is the new man.

The breeze is back
The sea breeze wreaks havoc again with the vision screen to be attended to, which causes a slight delay in the game.

Khawaja clobbers Mendis
Khawaja loads Mendis very well and throws him to the ground to reach his first limit. Go to set.

Warner hits the top four
Warner records the first boundary of the match courtesy of a gloriously timed deck traction outside Rajitha off the stump, and moves away to the boundary in front of the point.
