Maheesh Theekshana to Pat Cummins
OUT! LBW! Maheesh Theekshana comes back into the attack and strikes straight away! Sri Lanka are just two wickets away now from a huge victory! Maheesh Theekshana with a flatter delivery on middle. It is probably a carrom ball that just turns away a bit after pitching. Cummins looks to defend it but ends up playing through the wrong line. The ball hits his pads and after a big appeal, the umpire raises his finger! Cummins though goes for a review but it does not make any difference as the Ball Tracking shows that the impact and wicket's hitting is umpire's call. So the original decision stays and Cummins has to walk back.

Maheesh Theekshana to Nathan Lyon
OUT! LBW! Maheesh Theekshana has another and Lyon who started off with a boundary playing a sweep shot, walks back trying to repeat the same shot again. This is fuller on middle. Lyon goes for a big sweep-shot but misses. The ball again turns slightly away and hits Lyon on his pads. An appeal is entertained again as the umpire raises his finger. He reviews it but the Ball Tracking shows three reds and Australia lose nine now. Just a wicket away Lanka from a famous victory here! Mitchell Swepson is the last man in.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Mitchell Swepson
OUT! BOWLED! It's all over! Prabath Jayasuriya has his 12th wicket in the game and what a turnaround this has been from Sri Lanka! This is tossed up on middle and Mitchell Swepson tries to defend it off the back foot. However, Prabath Jayasuriya gets that turn again by which he has been troubling Aussies throughout this Test match. The ball beats the outside edge of Mitchell Swepson's blade and knocks over the off pole. Sri Lanka win by an innings and 39 runs.
