Sri Lanka Against Australia: Other Men’s Cricket Test, Day Four – Live | Australia Cricket Team

4. Over: Australia 11-0 (Khawaja 5, Head 6) Head mower back again and cut hard for a single. Khawaja spreads Axeman’s jazz and chooses finesse and sweeps nicely for a pair. Nice shot. Three from Over and Australia’s goals are now 64 races to win.

3. Over: Australia 8-0 (Khawaja 3, Head 5) Mendis returns to another, but certainly Prabath Jayasuriya, with five wickets in the first laps, can not be far away. Mendis bowler not badly. To prove it hunting one from a middle stub and makes it explode and narrowly miss the shoulder in Khawaja’s bat. The next ball is even better. Khawaja stepped out and tossed, and it hit the bat with a layer of varnish. A threatening girl.

2. Over: Australia 8-0 (Khawaja 3, Head 5) Nishan Peiris has been thrown the new ball from the other end. Khawaja steps down and slices a single through mid-off. Now Peiris is blinking a former main edge. It landed on the leg and ended. Nice! The next one is straight and blows almost the main stage to pieces. Great movement out of the rough for peiris. But the head is not a man to dwell on almost missing. He steps back and wallops the fifth ball to the border.

1. Over: Australia 3-0 (Khawaja 2, Head 1) Mendis lands his first ball on a length, and Khawaja defends. Usman look jumps out to the other and flips a single one. What does Head First Ball deliver? A flat bat drive for a full delivery. It’s an anticlimax. Now Mendis is throwing a floater dip late. Good ball. Finally, the head gets room to go back and go off the brand. Khawaja follows his lead for a third race from over.

Here are the players. Australia needs 75 races. Sri Lanka needs 10 wickets. It seems that it is Usman Khawaja’s turn to meet the first ball. It will be spinner Ramesh Mendis to take the new ball. Quick Wickets OP FAST RUNS? We’re about to find out …

Sri Lanka all out 231. Australia will chase 75 races for victory

Wicket! Kumara B Webster 9 (Sri Lanka 231 – 10)

68. Over: Sri Lanka 229-9 (Kumara 6, Peiris 1) Australia needs a wicket. Will it be Lyon or Kuhnemann who collects it and pose a five-for? “Lovely patience here,” Alex Carey calls behind the stumps. Lyon Fizzes one past the edge at 86 km / h. Sri Lanka gets a risky single. But very next ball kumara angled to Beau Webster by Second Slip! Light catching and webster Nonchalent claims it. But Kumara stands her land. Umpires will review this. Smith had a good view at the first slip and he walks away from the ground, it’s a pure catch. But we are now seeing replacements showing a little jump in our hands. Not out!

67. Over: Sri Lanka 229-9 (Kumara 6, Peiris 1) Kuhnemann chases a fifth wicket. He is also a good chance as Peiris is on strike and has been bowled twice by Queenslander in an identical way. Can the big kuhena do it three on trot? No, Nishan is pushing a single. Kumara Flays another race to the middle of for another single. Peiris, Cocky after turning off his duck, square cut to another. Sri Lanka now led 72.

66. Over: Sri Lanka 225-9 (Kumara 6, Peiris 1) Huge appeal from Lyon against Nishan Peiris, who has missed all series. Umpire says no – is there an inside edge? But Australia asks for a different statement. They have two reviews left, so why not? Replays show the clipping of the bone stub so we remain with the judge’s decision. Review withheld and Peiris survives! Another shout from the tie cordon the last. Umpire says nup. Lyon also shrugs. But Smith, always hungry to move the game on, disregards his veteran spinner and goes upstairs … It is missing. Not out!

65. Over: Sri Lanka 225-9 (Kumara 6, Peiris 0) Matt Kuhnemann, with four own wickets, enters his 22. It’s another beauty, but Kumara breaks the spring with a hammered four to mid-off. Good shot of the new # 9.

64. Over: Sri Lanka 218-9 (Kumara 0, Peiris 0) Mendis becomes Lyon’s fourth wicket by laps. And it’s a terrible blow to Sri Lanka, who has now lost their last established dough. The pressure was on after Angelo Mathews threw his wicket late yesterday, and it has played a role in Mendis, playing so strange a shot that was laid off.

Wicket! Mendis C Smith B Lyon 50 (Sri Lanka 217-9)

63. Over: Sri Lanka 215-8 (Mendis 48, Kumara 0) Kuhnemann has five deliveries left in his over and they will be to Lahiru Kumara. The first round of No. 11 has earned a promotion to No. 9 after hanging hard in 26 balls and 48 minutes with Kusal Mendis in the first laps. His defensive stroke for the last ball deceives all and runs in four byes.

In the Sheffield Shield game at Gabba, New South Wales fights back from a disastrous 39-5-inclusive price of the scalp of Sam Konstas For 3 from 33 balls – to Trail Queensland 292 runs with five wickets back.

Players take the field in Galle. Let’s get ready to rumble!

Nathan Lyon Completed over 550 testwickets yesterday – just the seventh man in the story to achieve the bang.

Ever humble, the old man from the town of Young (where the price exports are cute cherries), was quick to move praise to spin -partner Matthew Kuhnemann And also pay tribute to two legends sitting on his shoulders and whispering in his ears as he made history.

Will Lyon deliver two cute cherries this morning to wrap the Sri Lankan laps?

Before the ashes start in Perth on November 21, Australia’s men will embark on a winter trip in the West Indies. If the prospect of a Melbourne -winter does not stretch the keel out of your bones, dates for the trip have just been announced.

If the prospect of a series of money laundering against Sri Lanka wasn’t delicious enough for Australian cricket fans, here is Barney Ronay on the latest round with attacks in English cricket …

Bazball is not a cult. Maybe it’s actually a cult of death. Because England is suddenly terrible at the cricket. And terrible in a way that feels uniform and in operation

What sweet music for Australian ears is it. Put on the ashes!

For those who came late … here is a wrapping of day three.
