Jeffrey Vandersay to Usman Khawaja, Nice flight, outside off, Usman Khawaja lunges to defend. Now that's what you call a solid over of spin. Vandersay got the ball to turn but more importantly, kept the batters guessing. Especially. that 4th ball - with Labuschagne giving himself room - any spinner will like that, because it indicates that the batter is not sure about his own footwork.

Nishan Peiris to Marnus Labuschagne, Huge, huge shout for LBW, not given! That looks really close! With around 5 seconds left on the clock, Dhananjaya de Silva takes the review. It was a very full ball, around middle and Marnus looked to sweep but missed it. Now, was there bat? Also, is there too much spin? Remember, the on-field call is not out. Nothing on UltraEdge as the ball goes past the bat. Time for Ball Tracking. UMPIRE'S CALL ON HITTING! Wow, that bubble gum would have just popped out for a brief second and popped back in for Labuschagne. He is really lucky here and to the naked eye, that looked out. It was so full and Marnus will do well to check his brooming. Narrow escape.

DRINKS BREAK. Well, despite that wicket, one can say that round 1 has belonged to Australia. The openers came out and expressed their positivity and forced Dhananjaya de Silva to get desperate and bring on Prabath Jayasuriya in the 7th over itself. The duo played spin really well and did not allow either spinner to settle down and in the process, has laid down a fine foundation for the middle order. Can the hosts bounce back in the second hour and make this a balanced session? Marnus Labuschagne walks in next at number 3, replacing Travis Head.
