TV umpire in the match
A close lbw call on Spencer Johnson here.
Theekshana was calling for the review before his captain even did.
It looks very close on the replay. There was two noises but that was Johnson's bat hitting his own pad.
Three red lights and Spencer Johnson is gone for a duck! Australia bowled out for 165. Sri Lanka win by 49 runs.
"Famous game here," Russel Arnold said on the coverage.
Should be out and is out!
Hasaranga looks like he has his first wicket of the match.
Aaron Hardie tries to sweep and gets hit smack bang in the middle.
He's given out but reviews.
Three red lights and Hardie is on his way for 32.
'A long way away'
There's plenty of overs left for the Aussies to chase this total down, but 77 runs with just two wickets in hand makes it look pretty dicey.
"It does look a long way away," Brad Hodge said on Seven.
"There were a couple of rash shots. Theekshana has been good and they've struggled to play him. It was always going to be troublesome for the Aussies."
The hopes of the green and gold rest firmly on Aaron Hardie's shoulders.
Zampa dropped before drinks
Zampa nicks it to first slip, but the skipper Asalanka puts down a tough chance.
"He went the other way first ... he had to come back," Ravi Bopara said on commentary.
Aussies digging deep, but it only feels like it's a matter of time before this is over.
The players are off for a quick drinks break now.

The wickets keep falling
Short stint from Nathan Ellis there.
He lasted three balls then tried a reverse sweep and was bowled.
Wellalage the man taking the wicket.
Only a matter of time before Australia are bowled out.
Another one goes
Sean Abbott is now out.
What a disaster this is.
The all-rounder tried to turn the ball to the legside but played it way too early and instead chipped it straight back to the bowler.
Theekshana takes the wicket and Abbott departs for 20.
WATCH: Steve Smith bowled
WATCH: Fraser-McGurk falls
DROPPED
What impact will that have?
Aaron Hardie has been dropped on 6.
He cut close to his body off the bowling of Hasaranga and it was dropped at first slip by Nissanka.
Very tough chance but had to be taken to keep the foot on the throat.
