1st over - Mitchell Starc takes the new ball from the Randwick End and both batsmen get off the mark with singles. SL: 2-0

2nd over - Mitchell Johnson strikes in his first over, summoning up a peach of a delivery which Lahiru Thirimanne edges to Brad Haddin behind the stumps to depart for one. SL: 5-1

6th over - Brilliant from Tillakaratne Dilshan, who hits Johnson for six straight fours to the delight of the huge Sri Lankan contingent in the Bill O'Reilly stand. Two straight drives, two pulls and two cover drives. SL: 42-1

10th over - Four runs off spinner Xavier Doherty's first over ends the power play. SL: 69-1

26th over - Sangakkara beats a diving Shane Watson for his eighth four. SL: 154-2

41st over - Chandimal gets his 50 off 22 balls with two runs but he is struggling with his hamstring. SL: 280-4

42nd over - Chandimal takes a single and then limps out retired hurt on 52. Watson then picks up Mathews (35) as the batsman gets an edge behind to Haddin. Thisara Perera hits two fours off his first two ball to end the over. SL: 292-5

30th over - Clarke has his eye in now and hits Perera for consecutive fours. AUS: 159-2

32nd over - Malinga summons up one of his unplayable yorkers to bowl Clarke for a run-a-ball 68. The umpires have a long, hard look at the no-ball before sending Clarke on his way. The partnership with Smith was worth 134. Glenn Maxwell comes out to the crease. AUS: 176-3

33rd over - Smith takes a huge swipe at a Dilshan delivery and is caught in the deep. The ball hangs in the air for an age and Perera appears to lose it a couple of times before twisting to take a fine catch. Smith's 72 runs came off 88 balls with seven fours and one six. Shane Watson is the new batsman. AUS: 178-4
