Overpitched and on off, Mitchell Marsh looks to drive it away but it goes of the inner half towards mid on. Five dots in a row now!

Dilshan Madushanka starts with a maiden over! He lands this on a hard length and around off, shaping away, Mitchell Marsh has a poke at it but gets beaten on the outside edge.

FOUR! Mitchell Marsh and Australia are underway in some style! Lahiru Kumara starts with a full delivery around off, Mitchell Marsh presents the full face of the bat and lofts it nicely over mid off for a boundary.

Back of a length and outside off, Mitchell Marsh looks to cut it away but chops it onto his pads as the ball rolls to the leg side, the batters scampers across for a single.

This is on a good length and around leg this time, David Warner tucks it towards square leg.

Lahiru Kumara bangs this on short and on middle and leg, David Warner goes for the pull shot but mistimes it a bit well wide of deep square leg and comes back for the second run. The intent is clear from the Aussie openers.

Good running again! This is pitched up and on middle, David Warner nudges it past square leg for a couple of more runs. The throw should have been better from the fielder there to put more pressure on Warner.

SIX! Oh..Wow! David Warner goes huge now! 15 runs off the first over! Lahiru Kumara serves this full again and on leg, anging in, David Warner goes down on one knee and absolutely whips it over the deep backward square leg fence for a biggie.
