The umpires have officially called play off for the day. Only 22 overs were possible on day three, in which time Australia cemented their advantage by dismissing Kamindu Mendia and Dhananjaya de Silva.
Only the elements can stop Australia winning this game. The forecast, though not perfect, is better for the last two days. Sri Lanka will resume tomorrow on 136 for 5, still a whopping 518 runs behind. See you then.
