Australia resumes its first innings at 8 for 313 against Sri Lanka with a lead of 101 runs on Day 3. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary at the earlier time of 2:15pm AEST.

Australia proved this pitch is no minefield….yet, with some batting cameos throughout the order.

After Usman Khawaja was out for 71, Cameron Green picked up where he left off and showed just how handy he is.

Green scored 77 of 109 balls and was well supported by Alex Carey (45) who put on what could be a match winning partnership of 84.

The pitch is tricky but the aggressive game style of Australia has messed with Sri Lanka’s rhythm and they’ve never been able to settle in for a few maiden overs.

Captain Pat Cummins is looking extremely dangerous after whacking a couple of huge sixes and Sri Lanka will need to dismiss him early and wrap up the innings to have a chance of staying in this game.

A lead of 101 runs is already plenty on a wicket that will continue to deteriorate.

Sri Lanka do have the advantage of bowling last so they’ll know that even setting a small total on the fourth innings could cause some problems but there’s a long way to go before they even make Australia bat again.

Join us for a slightly early start to Day 3 which is due to all the overs we lost yesterday.
