FOUR! Top shot. This innings may not be a big thing regarding a big score to enhance Marnus Labuschagne's career, but to spend some time in the middle will give a big boost to his confidence. With Webster, Konstas and McSweeney in the reckoning and Cameron Green expected to be fit for the World Test Championship final, the calls are getting louder by every match to drop Labuschagne from the side. It is all about confidence and this shot shows he is not short of that. Full, on middle and leg, Labuschagne comes forward and whips it efficiently with his wrists, getting it through mid-wicket for a boundary. 9 more runs needed to win now.

Howzzat for LBW? Not out. Howzzat for a catch then? Not given. Okay, then review taken. No real celebration in the Sri Lankan camp with Dhananjaya de Silva just smiling, resigningly. It was a full ball outside off and Usman Khawaja looked to sweep. The ball went off something and the bowler and keeper immediately appealed for LBW. Meanwhile, Dhananjaya de Silva made a brilliant one-handed diving stop to his right and appealed for the catch as well. With both not given and not having much to lose, he signalled for the review. UltraEdge did not detect any bat, indicating that the ball went off the pad but Ball Tracking showed the impact to be well outside off. For the record, Sri Lanka have only 1 review left.

A touch short, around off, spinning in, Labuschagne stays back and nudges it to the leg side.

Similar ball, this time Marnus works it through mid-wicket. The timing is excellent and perhaps Labuschagne thinks it will be a boundary and runs the first one a touch slowly. He gets down to the other end and turns, looks up and sees the fielder get to the ball. Stops but then sees Khawaja charge across and resumes running for the second. Makes it in comfortably in the end. A run more needed for the win now.
