26th over: Australia 62-1 (Litchfield 21, Sutherland 29) Filer doubles down on her plan to bowl short to Sutherland and begins with a bouncer that sails over the all-rounder’s head. Sutherland waits until the final delivery of the over to get on the back foot and drive through covers for a couple.

Cricket Australia have ominously confirmed that Ellyse Perry is available to bat in this innings “if required”, though there is no further suggestion whether she might come in sooner rather than later… or at all.

18th over: Sri Lanka 61-3 (Chandimal 23, Mendis 14) Nathan Lyon is fizzing his off spinners into the rough left by Mitchell Starc’s big hooves.

It should be safely scooped up by first slip but Smith is standing wider than usual and it flies past his left hand and runs for four. Lyon puts his hands to his head, tearing out invisible hair. He recovers to rip another past the edge. Chandimal recovers too, reverse sweeping the final ball for four. 12 from the over!

17th over: Sri Lanka 47-3 (Chandimal 9, Mendis 14) Mitchell Starc opens Australia’s attack from the other end. Straight away he slides a sweet nut past Mendis’s edge. Wry grins from batter and bowler. Beautiful bowling at 144kph. Starc is wearing long inner sleeves under his shirt today, perhaps a birthday present for turning 35 yesterday? Starc is full and focused on that channel outside off. Mendis survives but can’t score.
