FOLLOW all the key moments as Australia tries to go 2-0 up in its one-day series against Sri Lanka.
5.00 AEDT – AUS 6-98 (30 overs, RR 3. 26Haddin and debutant Ben Cutting are getting their eyes on, and surely this is the duo to steer Australia to a competitive score.
Haddin looks all at sea against Malinga the Slinger, but has survived… for now.
Cutting cracked a marvellous boundary in the 29th over to double his score, but survival is key for the next five or so overs.
4.40 AEDT – AUS 6-82 (24 oversWicket! Wicket!Ohh no, two wickets in three balls and Victorian duo David Hussey and Glenn Maxwell are on their way!
Is it all over? Hussey was caught well short in a suicidal run, with a direct hit from Dilshan getting his prized scalp, while Maxwell edged one off the bowling of Angelo Mathews.

Two new batsmen – Brad Haddin and debutant Ben Cutting – at the crease now.
Can Australia see out its allotted 50 overs?
4.20 AEDT – AUS 4-60 (19.1 oversWicket!Well, if that’s the best Steve Smith has he might be on the way out of the Australian side quick-smart.
The young batsman scrambled to eight runs before edging one through to the keeper.
On your way, young fella. Perera gets the wicket and the Aussies are at long odds now.
Can Victorians Dave Hussey and Glenn Maxwell come to the rescue? Hussey is up to 19.
Wicket!
4.10 AEDT – AUS 3-51 (16.4 overs
The captain cracked it to midwicket but was caught by Thirimanne with a sensational catch. He picked up the pace quickly and got a glove to it, but the umpire went upstairs to check for the no-ball.
Malinga appeared to ever so slightly over-step the line, but the wicket stood and Bailey was on his way.
Enter Steve Smith.
4.00 AEDT – AUS 2-49 (15.3 oversCrack! Whack! Bang!
Here come the Aussies! It started with a towering George Bailey six and the next over David Hussey carted two fours to finally ignite the innings.
Bailey’s maximum was swung hard over midwicket – and caught nicely by a spectator – while Hussey’s pair of boundaries came off superstar quick Lasith Malinga,
The run-rate is up to 3.19. Can these two kick on? Bailey is up to 24 with his side’s chances hugely dependent on this partnership.
3.45 AEDT – AUS 2-30 (13 overs
Well, the bleeding has slowed down. George Bailey and David Hussey have settled Australia’s wobbly start, but need to ramp up the run-rate quick smart.
Sri Lanka has now missed a handful of run out chances, ones Australia was taking with seemingly ease at the MCG on Friday night.
But the Lankans are still well in front, with the Aussies going at just 2.25 an over in damp conditions.
Wicket!
3.32pm AEDT – AUS 2-14 (8 overs

Hughes was dismissed lbw but decided to throw a challenge at the decision, with the backing of captain George Bailey.
But, Nuwan Kulasekara’s ball was a peach and set to thump into the stumps, forcing Hughes to depart for just three runs.
Suddenly both openers are in the sheds and the run-rate is a worrying 1.77.
3.20pm AEDT – AUS 1-11 (6 oversAussies no they’re wearing colours today, right? They’re batting at less than two an over, but credit must go to Sri Lanka’s opening bowlers.
They’ve applied pressure, while the fielding has been on-song so far.
Can Hughes or Bailey break the shackles?
Wicket!
3.08pm AEDT – AUS 1-7 (3.3 overs
The big-hitting star, playing just his second ODI for Australia, played a loose shot off the bowling of Angelo Mathews and was caught by Jeevan Mendis.
Is that a wry smile creeping across the face of Melbourne Renegade fans?
Enter the captain, George Bailey.
3pm AEDT – AUS 0-4 (2.0 oversSlow but steady start for the home side. But there was a moment of panic in the first over – Phil Hughes called Aaron Finch through for a suicide run, but Dilshan missed the stumps.
A direct hit would have had Hughes, who made a century on debut on Friday, out by a mile.
Nuwan Kulasekara and Angelo Mathews have been handed the new ball.
2.30pm AEDT
Luck was with the tourists this morning – Sri Lanka won the toss and will send Australia to the crease to bat when play gets under way at Adelaide Oval.
Morning rain has delayed the start of play by about 30 minutes in the second ODI of the five-match series. The umpires will take another look at the field again shortly and if it’s all good, play can start.
Looks as if we still have a full game on our hands. The weather is expected to clear up as the day goes on so it should be smooth sailing.
If this is the first time you’ve checked in, South Aussie paceman Kane Richardson and Queensland quick Ben Cutting will make their debuts today.
Mitchell Johnson and the injured Mitchell Starc are out. And youngster Steve Smith is in for Usman Khawaja.
We’ll take you through all the big plays, with videos of dismissals, pictures as descriptions of all the happenings from the Adelaide Oval.
PREAMBLE:
Good afternoon and welcome to the second match of the one-day series between the Aussies and Sri Lanka.
News is in that young bowlers Kane Richardson and Ben Cutting will make their Australian debuts today, with the pair handed their caps shortly before the toss.
The Aussies swung a third change, with Steve Smith replacing Usman Khawaja. The two bowlers replaced Mitch Johnson and Mitchell Starc (calf.
There has been a bit of rain around in Adelaide, so fingers crossed we can get through a full match.
No-one would be keener to get out in the middle than Australian opener Phil Hughes.
The left-hander cracked a superb hundred on debut for the one-day line-up in Melbourne on Friday, earning man-of-the-match honours in his side’s thumping 107-run win.
