W
Nathan Ellis to Barry McCarthy
OUT! TAKEN! It's all over for Ireland as Paul Stirling won't come out to bat. Nathan Ellis ends with a four-fer. Nicely bowled again. Drags his length back and bowls it around off, probably the back-of-the-hand delivery. Barry McCarthy forces it across the line but fails to power. Cameron Green at deep mid-wicket takes a simple catch. Australia open their account with a comfortable win. They win by 67 runs.

Adam Zampa to George Dockrell
SIX! Well over the fielder! Slower in the air, flights it full and around off, George Dockrell steps down the pitch, gets on his knee and slogs it over long on for a six.
15.2
W
Adam Zampa to George Dockrell
OUT! STUMPED! Clever from Adam Zampa and he picks up his third wicket. Dockrell takes a premeditated charge and Zampa pushes his line wide outside off, away from the hitting zone. Dockrell swings and misses. The keeper, Josh Inglis, collects and clips the bails off with ease. George Dockrell goes for 41 (29). 73 needed off 28 balls now for Ireland.
15.3

Adam Zampa to Barry McCarthy
Serves it full and outside off, a googly. Barry McCarthy drills it past Zampa and to long on for a single.
15.4
W
Adam Zampa to Mark Adair
OUT! TAKEN! 'Catch it' is the call from Josh Inglis and Connolly does the job. A wrong 'un, attacking the stumps and on a length. Adair clears his front leg and moves back to pull but top edges it to deep mid-wicket. High in the night sky and in the hands of Cooper Connolly in the deep. A simple catch for the fielder.
15.5

Adam Zampa to Matthew Humphreys
Josh Inglis is super excited as he appeals for a caught behind. The umpire shakes his head but Travis Head challenges the decision. This is a length delivery on leg and turning into the batter. Matthew Humphreys steps inside the line and tries to paddle it but seems to miss it. The UltraEdge loads and shows a flatline. NOT OUT, it remains.
15.6

Adam Zampa to Matthew Humphreys
Flatter trajectory on middle, Matthew Humphreys works it to deep mid-wicket for a single to end the over.

Adam Zampa to Lorcan Tucker
OUT! CAUGHT! Adam Zampa breaks this sturdy partnership and gets his second wicket. This is a wrong 'un, fuller, on middle. Lorcan Tucker sits on one knee and looks to sweep it against the wind. The ball flies toward the deep mid-wicket region, and Cooper Connolly settles underneath the skier to pouch it safely into his hands. End of a 46-run stand between Tucker and Dockrell.

Xavier Bartlett to George Dockrell
DROPPED? Up and just over! Length ball at the stumps, Dockrell shimmies down the pitch and lifts it to the right of mid off. Marcus Stoinis scampers across and times the leap to perfection but can only manage fingertips on it. The fielder from long on mops it up and keeps it down to two runs.

Xavier Bartlett to George Dockrell
Two more and Dockrell is doing a decent job of keeping the scoreboard ticking. Pitched up at the stumps, Dockrell clears the front leg and lofts it back over the bowler's head. Maxwell moves to his left from long on and cuts it off but walks back a bit gingerly and signals something to the dug-out. Hopefully, it's not another injury.

Zampa serves a googly on a length and in the channel, outside off, Delany premeditates the paddle sweep but the googly catches the inside edge of the blade and goes towards the keeper. Josh Inglis, with a safe pair of hands, gets in line to take it sharply. Delany goes for 11 (12) and Ireland now need 140 more runs off 79 balls.

OUT! DRAGGED ON! Nathan Ellis is just on fire. This is his second over of the inning, and he has already picked up his third wicket. Today is certainly his day. Ellis hits hard on the length, pitching it on middle and angling it away from the left-hander. Ben Calitz hangs on his back foot to pull it down to mid-wicket, but gets the inside edge and it crashes onto the stumps. Ben Calitz departs for 2 runs off 4 deliveries and Ireland are in deep trouble here.

OUT! BOWLED 'EM! That is a ripper of a delivery to bowl first up from Nathan Ellis. Ellis begins with the back-of-the-hand slower ball, lands it on a good length and around middle. Ross Adair hangs back to block but the ball holds in the deck and Adair is comprehensively beaten before the ball goes on and makes a mess of the middle stump. Ross is unable to make the most of life and departs for 12 (9).

Nathan Ellis to Curtis Campher
OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust. Ireland are gifting wickets away now. A regulation back-of-a-length delivery from Nathan Ellis, bowled around off stump. Curtis Campher rocks back and looks to pull but the length isn't quite there. He ends up hitting it straight to short mid-wicket, where Cameron Green takes a simple catch. Campher departs for 4 (2) and Ireland are 17/3 or maybe even effectively 17/4 if Stirling is unable to come out to bat.

DROPPED! Matt Renshaw has spilled an absolute dolly. Short and wide to begin with, there to be hit. Ross Adair has to reach for it and cuts it uppishly to the right of cover-point where Renshaw casually puts both hands out and the ball doesn't stick. A huge let off for Adair.

Harry Tector backs away to loft it over covers but gets the timing all wrong. The ball goes high and over cover, where Green runs around and gets beyond the ball, before settling himself and pouching it safely. A three-ball duck for Tector.

Paul Stirling is in the dugout but in no mood to come back to bat. The signs say he won't bat again, so Ireland are effectively 5 wickets down. But still, let's hope that he is able to bat if and when needed.
0
Review time. There's an appeal for LBW but it is turned down. Travis Head has signalled for the review. The impact might be an issue but first, the third umpire will check UltraEdge to see if there's any bat or glove involved. No spike on UltraEdge but Ball Tracking does confirm that the impact is outside the line of off stump. NOT OUT!
0
Ireland have lost half their side now. George Dockrell walks out to bat at number 7.

At the halfway mark, Ireland are 66/5. Also, Nathan Ellis (2-1-5-3) is back into the attack.

Matthew Kuhnemann to bowl out. 22 runs and a wicket so far. Also, it seems like Glenn Maxwell is now off the field and Ben Dwarshuis has come on as the substitute fielder.

DRINKS! Australia are favourites to win from hereon, with Ireland effectively 7 down. The Irish team need 94 runs in 38 balls. It is gettable, but they are running out of batters pretty quickly. Australia have bowled well and need to keep it simple to wrap up the proceedings.
0
End of a defiant knock from George Dockrell and in walks the next batter. Barry McCarthy is the new batter for Ireland.
0
The next batter in is Matthew Humphreys. Is he the last man to walk out? Or will we see Paul Stirling again if another wicket falls?

Signing off from Colombo - End of the second match of the day and after a never-ending first game, we have witnessed a fairly one-sided contest. Worry not, as there is a blockbuster clash lined up next. Two-time champions, West Indies, are taking on another two-time champions England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. That match is about to start at 1.30 pm GMT and England have opted to BOWL first. You can switch tabs and tune in to our coverage of that clash. Cheers!
