Alex Carey’s glovework has been excellent this series, particularly up to the stumps, but he blew a chance for his first Test stumping.

He has 33 catches from 10 Tests, without a stumping. Carey has made a concerted effort across Test series in Pakistan and Sri Lanka to stay lower for longer while up to the stumps but on that occasion it was a case of too little too late as Lyon’s delivery turned and bounced sharply.

The ball spooned to Travis Head at short mid-off and the Aussies went up. The umpire wasn’t interested, and Head threw the ball in the air, allowing the Sri Lankans to run a single. Mathews has played a reverse sweep against Nathan Lyon, but he’s missed it, and it has hit him on his front leg.But snicko reveals Mathews got a very thin bottom edge attempting to reverse sweep.Two overs from Travis Head but he didn’t look threatening.

Sri Lanka protesters, angered by economic meltdown, storm president's houseThousands of protesters in Sri Lanka's commercial capital Colombo have broken through police barricades and stormed the president's official residence in one of the largest anti-government marches in the crisis-hit country this year. Blood on their hands 👇 ?. Western elites were in the grip of an ideology that made them incapable of understanding the hard realities of energy production. Fair enough. When you focus on lining your own pockets whilst allegedly giving a shit about a nation, expect anarchy. First domino.
