Dunith Wellalage to Glenn Maxwell
FOUR! What a shot and that's FIFTY for Glenn Maxwell! It has been an innings of some brilliance and he knows that the job is not done yet. Quicker one, on off, Maxwell goes for the reverse sweeps and lifts it easily over backward point for a boundary.

W
Dunith Wellalage to Ashton Agar
OUT! LBW! Ashton Agar is left dumfounded as he has to walk back and the debutant gets yet another crucial wicket. Dunith Wellalage comes from over the wicket and delivers it on a length, around off. The ball turns back in a long way and Agar is caught on the crease. Agar gets pinged in front and after a huge appeal, the umpire raises his finger. Australia have run out of reviews and there's nothing Agar can do. The replay shows that the ball would have gone on to crash into leg stump, good decision by the umpire.

Full and on the pads, Glenn Maxwell flicks it in front of square on the leg side. Chamika Karunaratne attacks it but his left knee gets stuck in the surface and Maxwell is able to come back for the second. Karunaratne seems to be in pain but he just shrugs it off.

Dunith Wellalage to Glenn Maxwell
FOUR! Pressure released! Just the 15 needed now! Down the leg side, a poor ball, Maxwell sweeps it fine and the ball races away to the fence. Giving him the ball was always going to be a risky move.
