Steven Smith misses out with injury and Pat Cummins is rested; Danushka Gunathilaka sidelined for Sri Lanka.

Marsh is the first of Australia's injury cohort to return to action after the calf strain he picked up during the T20I series. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have made one change with Niroshan Dickwella coming in at the top of the order in place of the injured Danushka Gunathilaka (leg injury), and he is also penciled in to keep wicket. Cameron Green and Mitchell Marsh will play their first matches of the ODI series but Steven Smith misses out with his quad injury and Mitchell Starc waits a bit longer for his return.

LIVE: Captain's knock! Finch fights to 50 after dropped catch as Aussies struggle in third ODI.

That means just three specialist bowlers for Australia in a line-up heavy on batters and all-rounders. But a replay showed the ball hit the pads before the bat, and should have been given out. It was his third against Sri Lanka and 30th in ODI cricket. That means just three specialist bowlers for Australia in a line-up heavy on batters and all-rounders. Captain Aaron Finch was by far the most comfortable of the top order, though he was not immune to the mishits and mistimed shots that burned his colleagues. Having won the toss and opting to bowl first in the first two matches of the five-match series, Aaron Finch once again won the toss, before opting for a different strategy on a slow and dry Colombo pitch on a scorching hot day.

The surface is aiding the spinners and there's a hint of extra bounce as well. 34.4 M Theekshana to Carey, no run, turn and bounce! Drinks are on the field now. UltraEdge shows a flat line and the onfield verdict will stay. Quicker and rips away ever so slightly with extra bounce, Carey was lunging across to block and got beaten comprehensively on the outside edge? No real appeal from the keeper and the bowler looks to have coaxed his skipper into a review

Stay with Times of India to get live cricket score, ball-by-ball commentary, scorecard of the 3rd ODI between Sri Lanka and Australia.

Jhye Richardson to Dasun Shanaka, OUT! TIMBER! Brilliant from Jhye Richardson! Are we in for a miracle here! However, a sublime innings from Nissanka and another excellent innings from Mendis helped Sri Lanka take a lead in the series. Not only that, but the wicket also eased out quite a lot and there was not the same assistance as in the first innings. The heat got to Mendis as he walked back retired hurt but Nissanka continued. It seemed like there would be some drama at the end when Nissanka and Shanaka fell but Charith Asalanka stayed calm and took his side over the line. Tells that it was in 1992 when Sri Lanka beat Australia and there is a chance to do it again. Two outstanding knocks from Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis was the highlight. Earlier in the day, after electing to bat, knocks from Alex Carey, Aaron Finch and Travis Head took Australia to a strong total. The two added over 150 to help their side take total control of the game. Sri Lanka have taken the lead in this series and now with the remaining 2 games also at Colombo, they will be hoping to clinch the series in the next ODI itself. On the surface, he says it was slow but he enjoyed batting on it. Shares that they need to bowl under pressure and try and keep learning.
