Scorecard summary
Australia 159/9(20 overs)
Sri Lanka 160/4(19 overs)

Great win by Sri Lanka - top knock from Sangakkara, and Australia will now spend the next few weeks preparing for the Ashes in the delightful hamlet of Leicester. "Is there a plate competition for the smaller teams to get experience?" ponders Travis Basevi, formerly an Australian. "Scotland, Bangladesh, Australia and maybe the Dutch?" It's a good call. Well, what a day we've had - Ireland beating Bangladesh, and now Australia are out of the competition. We'll be back tomorrow with live coverage of all the matches, so do join us then. From me, Will Luke, it's goodnight - and don't forget to read the bulletin. It'll be epic. Toodle pip for now.

1
Lee to Mubarak, 1 run

pulled for two - is it? No! Just a single, but Australia can't win. They're out of the tournament

Ponting's face is a picture of disappointment. I'm afraid Australia are heading out of this tournament...

18.5
4
Lee to Mubarak, FOUR runs

carves this just over mid-off who parries it for four!

6 from 8

18.4
Lee to Mubarak, no run

plays and misses outside off

Punter's fuming. Seriously fed up

18.4
1w
Lee to Mubarak, 1 wide

wide - and rightly wided. Lee knows they're going to try and whack him over the leg-side, but he can't bowl that wide and get away with it

18.3
6
Lee to Mubarak, SIX runs

he's nailed it! It's gone! Huge shout sails over long-on

18.2
Lee to Mubarak, no run

very wide of the off stump. But not wided! How? Odd decision

18.1

Lee to Sangakkara, 1 run

wide of the off stump, Sangakkara reaches out and squeezes a run to cover

14 from the last two overs. Here comes Lee

Bracken to Sangakkara, 1 run

very full and Sangakkara steals the strike with a drilled bosh to long-on, again

40 balls for the classiest of fifties

17.5
4
Bracken to Sangakkara, FOUR runs

paddle swept for four - brilliant! He made it into a full toss, just dabbing it past short third man. What guts

19 from 14. Murali looks seriously tense

Bracken to Sangakkara, 1 run

17.3
1w
Bracken to Sangakkara, 1 wide

charges down the pitch to a slower ball, tries to paddle this wide outside off. Poor bowlers. They really can't win. He saw him coming and tossed it wider, and is penalised for it!

Lee to Mubarak, SIX runs

where's this gone? Mubarak's pummelled him for six over a leaping Johnson at long-off! Tremendous stroke

30 from 19...

Lee to Mubarak, 2 runs

driven hard down the ground and long-on jogs round to save four

1w
Lee to Mubarak, 1 wide

a bouncer, Mubarak leaves it alone expecting it to be wided on height - and it is

16.4
Lee to Mubarak, no run

well timed but straight to cover

16.3
Lee to Mubarak, no run

tries to uppercut but pulls out at the last moment
