2nd over: Australia 25-0 (Head 14, Marsh 11) Nine off the over as Sri Lanka opt for the wily spin of Theekshana. A spawny outside edge beats the field and brings Head four but there’s nowt lucky about the next, a thunderous cut for four more. This is already Australia’s best opening partnership of the tournament.
