Second Test, day four LIVE updates: Aussie top order crumbles as Sri Lanka eye famous win

Head nowhere on the crease for second time in the match. Three low scores for the series. Could be over tonight!Green ends Ramesh Mendis’ eighth over with a lovely cover drive for four - his first of the innings.Andrew Wu

Steve Smith will be filthy to be out lbw. He was part of a squad for India 2017 series where they could cop plays and misses on outside edge but not being beaten on the inside by the straight one.Smith’s review was even worse than Warner’s. They both clearly think they’re worth it.Gone! Ramesh Mendis bowls Head with an absolute peach.Sri Lanka are running riot and Australia are in all sorts of trouble at 4-74, still trailing by 116.

Head sweeps his second ball faced for four off Jayasuriya. That was a beautiful shot from outside off stump.Labuschagne responds to the carnage around him by cutting Ramesh Mendis beautifully through the covers for a glorious four.He moves to 13 and Australia are 3-67, still 123 runs in arrears.Jayasuriya strikes again! This time he gets the danger man Smith for a duck lbw!It’s a two-wicket over for the Test debutant Jayasuriya who now has figures of 2-7.

Australia have crashed to 3-59 in the 19th over and never mind a draw - Sri Lanka have a famous victory in their sights.But Sri Lanka don’t have to wait long to make amends! Khawaja has to go!Khawaja departs for 29 and Australia are in a spot of bother early in the final session at 2-59, still trailing by 131.

Smith is the new batsman in and he is going to have to build a big partnership with fellow century-maker from the first innings Labuschagne if the tourists are to give themselves any hope of an unlikely win.Massive confusion between Labuschagne and Khawaja in the middle of the pitch, but Jayasuriya misfields at cover and a gilt-edged run-out chance goes begging.

I can't believe this is happening while the host country is in revolution. I guess the show must go on
