Nathan Ellis to Pathum Nissanka, SIX, this is some shot. Such is the confidence running through his veins right now. He shuffles across and takes this full delivery on off, just a mere shovel and it flies flat and just clears the deep backward square-leg fence. What batting and people are on the trees watching this as my colleague, Sagar Chawla is ROFL about that fact

Nathan Ellis to Pathum Nissanka, wide, way outside off, the length delivery and wide of the tramline, left alone and wide called

Nathan Ellis to Pathum Nissanka, SIX, superb cut. Pathum Nissanka backs away outside the leg-stump, this is back of a length around midle and leg, he cuts and it's a flat six all the way over deep backward point. Made room to allow the arms to free up

Nathan Ellis to Pathum Nissanka, 2 runs, back of the hand slower-ball and full outside off, Pathum Nissanka gets forward to drive and it's Smith at long-off, he runs forward, tries to take it with one hand, the right one and fumbles, so they come back for two

Nathan Ellis to Pathum Nissanka, 1 run, what an inswinging yorker that is. Such late tail. Given as a run. Was there an inside-edge?

Nathan Ellis to Kusal Mendis, no run, appeal for LBW. Ellis is down on his knees pleading. But umpire Ahsan Raza is not interested. There's a chat between Ellis and Inglis. Marsh runs in and is told to challenge the decision. This looked high in real time. Nothing on UltraEdge. Over to ball-tracking - missing leg-stump. Not Out. Australia lose a review. That was poor from Ellis and Inglis as well for supporting him. Angled in and Mendis misses the flick, struck above the kneeroll and the impact was on leg-stump. Ball-tracking showed it to be going down..
