Sri Lanka beat Australia by four runs in a tense one-day international that went down to the final ball in Colombo on Tuesday to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

Asalanka came in and smashed 10 fours and a six for his maiden ODI century before Pat Cummins finally dismissed him at the death when the batsman was caught by skipper Aaron Finch as he tried to clear the deep midwicket boundary. Warner hit 12 fours before he was stumped on 99 off the bowling of Dhananjaya de Silva thanks to lightning-quick work behind the stumps from Niroshan Dickwella.
