Australia forced the follow

Wicket! Sri Lanka 165 All Out (Vandersay C Starc B Kuhnemann 4)

52. About: Sri Lanka 161-9 (Vandersay 0, A Fernando 0) Now Lyon has Seven Men plus the goalkeeper around the racket for Asitha Fernando, from which his first ball puts along the floor on the second slip.

Wicket! Sri Lanka 161-9 (Peiris C Inglis B Lyon 5)

51. About: Sri Lanka 157-8 (Vandersay 0, Peiris 1) For the new Pyris dough there are six field players around the bat: short leg, slip, slip, leg slip, swallowing and short leg. An inner edge lands only shortly before the leg channel.

Wicket! Sri Lanka 156-8 (Jayasuriya St Carey B Kuhnemann 0)

50. About: Sri Lanka 156-7 (Jayasuriya 0, Vandersay 0) There is certainly no doubt that Australia will enforce the following when the time has come. It is not as if they had to give the sailor a break or that they have a risk that they will lose the game with a lead of almost 500.

Wicket! Sri Lanka 156-7 (Chandimal LBW B Lyon 72)

49. About: Sri Lanka 156-6 (Chandimal 72, Jayasuriya 0) There is not much Srilankische Wimper – Prabath Jayasuriya, the No. 8, has a test average of 8.41 – so a Wicket could bring five. Jayasuriya is beaten by his first two deliveries, both of which tear off the stumps to beat the edge.

Wicket! Sri Lanka 156-6 (Kusal Mendis C Murphy B Kuhnemann 21)

48. About: Sri Lanka 156-5 (Chandimal 72, Kusal Mendis 22) A great status from the host station. Chandimal has a head-to-head average of 221 against Nathan Lyon in the test cricket. Do 223 after a few singles. Lyon moved around the Wicket after Chandimal, but not to Mendis.

47. About: Sri Lanka 152-5 (Chandimal 70, Kusal Mendis 19) Mendis brings Kuhnemann from the stump and slog for four Midwicket through Midwicket. Australia does not matter if the ball rejects itself from the bat.

46. ​​About: Sri Lanka 145-5 (Chandimal 68, Kusal Mendis 14) Mendi’s lungs with a nice delivery from Lyon, which passes the edge. Carey has the deposit at lightning speed, but Mendis’ Back Foot was grounded. It feels like a wind is imminent.

45. About: Sri Lanka 144-5 (Chandimal 67, Kusal Mendis 14) Kuhnemann becomes both bounce and gymnastics and has started very well. Chandimal, surprised by a ball that spits out of the middle stump, can soften his hands and drop it shortly before the field player, which has just been moved to stupid dots.

England women had a better morning in the MCGWith the last five Australian gates for nine runs. However, they are back for miles and there is every chance that Australia will do a white washing today.

44. About: Sri Lanka 143-5 (Chandimal 66, Kusal Mendis 14) Nathan Lyon’s first ball leads to a first -class sweep from Chandimal, which lands safely. Mendis then crashes a train into the left head of the head on the short leg. Oof, that looked painful.

Lyon has a different field: slip, short leg and leg clips.

43. About: Sri Lanka 138-5 (Chandimal 64, Kusal Mendis 11) Kuhnemann begins the Wicket with two slips and a short leg for both strikers. There are some processes immediately, albeit relatively slowly, and Chandimal and Mendis take a single one per piece. A reserved start.

Nathan Lyon talks to our own Adam Collins

We can’t do anything against the weather. But we poured up here today and there is some sunlight and some heat out of the ground. It will be a challenging morning and an exciting.

We hope that the pitch deteriorates, they expect this on the subcontinent. Hopefully we’ll get a whole day today.

I’ve played against Dinesh (Chandimal) for a long time – he is a class player, isn’t it? Hopefully we can solve further problems for him.

(On Matt Kuhnemann and Todd Murphy) Our preparation was pretty much right. We really enjoyed our time in Dubai. Your boys, you learn, you ask questions. It is a pretty amazing group that can be used to work with.

I have nothing but love for the ground here in Galle. Srilankic culture and people … it is an amazing place for the tour.

Less than ten minutes until the game is resumed. It looks a wonderful sunny day in Galle. There is a little probability of rain this afternoon, but apart from it, the radar looks clear.

Weather permitsThere should be a lot of time for Australia to force victory in this game, almost 200 over. This is approximately a Wicket all 13 over on a field that already offers the spinners a little.

The Ashes test of women is resumed in the MCG. Jonathan Howcroft is on duty for this.
