00:00...been able to come out and find the middle of the bat right from the word go and hit some great boundaries.

00:05We'll need two here. First ball.

00:08Into the gap. Are they going to take them on? I reckon they will.

00:12They're coming back.

00:14And they'll get them.

00:17Chandamar ploughed through the stubs.

00:20It was always two. It was good running.

00:23Where's the boundary coming from?

00:30Good piece of fielding. Good keeping and good running between the wickets.

00:35It's got to be said. Great cricket all round.

00:43Six deep. Four boundaries.

00:48Massive six at help.

00:49I'll have to say, a maximum would set this up beautifully.

00:52Then you'd have ten from four.

00:54Where's he hitting that? Straight back over the bowler's head's a good spot.

00:57Backward square with the field up there is another place where George Bailey may look to go big.

01:05Well, I reckon he is honing in for the Yorker length better than anyone else.

01:10I'd think the charge. I'd try and change the length and get a low fully.

01:14Get under a low fully.

01:15There it is. In the air.

01:21But he hasn't got enough of it.

01:24So Bailey falls.

01:26Kuzil takes the catch.

01:28And we now have Sean Marsh on strike.

01:31Four balls left.

01:32Well, he had to go for it, obviously.

01:34It's a good thing that they did cross.

01:35So Sean Marsh is on strike.

01:37Looks like Glenn Maxwell coming to the crease.

01:41Well, it was there, wasn't it?

01:43The low fully. You've got to generate the pace.

01:45You've got to hit the gap.

01:45Well, more than anything, he just had to really time it.

01:48He knows it was there as well.

01:50He just couldn't get enough on it.

01:52So he goes for 45.

01:53Three for 106.

01:56So Glenn Maxwell comes to the crease.

01:58The big show.

02:00And what can he do?

02:01He might get a look at the next ball, provided Sean Marsh gets off strike.

02:04So three balls is all he's going to get a look at.

02:07A good decision to get him out there, though, Huston.

02:10Yeah, well, he's got that X factor.

02:11And he can strike the ball very cleanly.

02:15Matthew Wade gave him that nickname, the big show.

02:18Apparently he loves it.

02:19Well, this has got to go for four or six.

02:21You get the feeling.

02:22Sean Marsh.

02:23He's hit it high.

02:25Has it got the wheels?

02:26The field is going back.

02:28Oh, no.

02:30He's caught it, but had to throw it back into play.

02:34So only ends up with two runs.

02:36And it's a no ball.

02:38So that's a bonus, a big bonus.

02:50Just having a look at the no ball, is it front foot or above the waist?

02:53Well, no front foot problem.

02:54So it's above the waist, and therefore no free hit.

02:57I'll tell you what, Sean Marsh got a good piece of it.

03:00He very nearly got a magnificent piece of it.

03:02Where's the heel?

03:10Is it touching the rope?

03:11If it is, that six, is he touching the rope?

03:13I reckon that angle, his heel's touching the rope, is it?

03:20He's on the rope.

03:23Oh, it's a millimetre.

03:25There's a millimetre in it.

03:28So there we go.

03:33Four balls is the key thing about that delivery.

03:35Still remaining.

03:36Now we're down to 13 needed.

03:38Oh, just a single.

03:47Oh, no.

03:48And an overthrow, maybe.

03:49No.

03:50That little brain explosion out there in the final over.

03:54It's good bowling, isn't it?

03:55That was great bowling, but doesn't pressure do funny things to people?

03:58Why would he shy at the stumps?

03:59It could have ricocheted and gone off for a couple more runs.

04:01Three fours, two sixes, however you want to get there.

04:10That's what's facing Glenn Maxwell.

04:12This is his first ball, by the way.

04:14However, the entourage arrived at Tesara Pereira as well.

04:17He's trying to get his head clear.

04:18He's got about seven voices in his ear.

04:21If anyone can hit a six off their first ball, I'd back Glenn Maxwell.

04:25He's got that X factor.

04:26He can do it.

04:28Well, if he's the big show, this is the big show.

04:31So, let's see a big show.

04:33It'll be sensational if he could hit two sixes, close out the game.

04:41Oh, he goes over the back.

04:43The backward point missed four.

04:46Big start for Glenn Maxwell.

04:48Still game on.

04:50Brilliant start from Maxwell.

04:53Just came off the ball, opened up the offside, slices it away.

04:59Two fours needed.

05:01What about the presence of mind?

05:05He would have looked around, it's field awareness, and said, right, if I get anything outside off

05:09stump, I've got that whole part of the ground available.

05:12But to get it there with your first ball takes lots of skill.

05:14And that's what you were talking about, so that's in the innings break.

05:17Giving yourself a little bit of room for the wide Yorker and slicing it over that backward point.

05:22It's great batting.

05:23You've got to give the bowler some credit there.

05:25He executed a pretty good delivery, but Maxwell just got the better of him on that occasion.

05:29Well, minimum of two needed on this ball.

05:32Minimum.

05:33Four makes it even better.

05:34Again, you'll think he'll be honing in that Yorker who's been bowling it so well.

05:40He's bowled beautifully.

05:42It's only the third over.

05:43One for 21.

05:46Again, same spot for Moore.

05:49Listen to the crowd go absolutely nuts.

05:52You talk of pressure.

05:55The pressure has got to the bowler on this occasion.

05:57A pulley outside the off stump.

06:01And a little fist pump there from Glenn Maxwell.

06:03The adrenaline is definitely pumping.

06:06Oh, great shot.

06:07He cannot believe that.

06:08He cannot believe that, the big show.

06:11He thought, what am I going to get?

06:12The last thing he thought he'd get is a waist-high full toss outside off stump.

06:17Look at the conference, JB.

06:18Look at them all.

06:19They're out.

06:20They're having a chat.

06:20What are they saying?

06:21Calm down, bowler.

06:22Calm down.

06:23How can he calm down?

06:24They're all saying calm down.

06:26It's making it worse.

06:28Where do I bowl it?

06:29One's probably saying slow ball.

06:30One bouncer.

06:30One wide Yorker.

06:33At the end of the day, the bowler's got to back himself to deliver what he thinks is the best ball.

06:37Well, all we know about the mindset of Glenn Maxwell is he'll be standing there going, bring it.

06:43Whatever you bowl, I'm good enough.

06:44Just bring it.

06:49Look at these gentlemen.

06:51Five of them hovered around to Sara Pereira, whose last two balls have gone for four.

06:58They're getting fired up.

06:59I think they're being told to get on with it.

07:01And Mahaila's not happy about it.

07:03He's saying, we'll just take a little bit more time here, please.

07:07I think it was something along those lines.

07:10Yeah, I don't really understand Sri Lankan language.

07:13But the umpire's doing the right thing.

07:15You know, you can't waste this amount of time.

07:17You've got to get on with the game.

07:18I think body language is pretty universal, though.

07:28You can work out what those boys are saying.

07:31So, Glenn Maxwell's had a long time to ever think about it.

07:35Now they get back into position, the Sri Lankan fieldsman.

07:39What a finish to this game.

07:40Four balls needed off the last delivery to win the game for Australia.

07:46Well, the vacant area, Mark Nicholas, this is Bob Down.

07:50Why haven't they put a fielder there?

07:51The two fours, the last two fours have gone down behind point.

07:54There still isn't a man there.

07:56So, they're protecting straight.

07:58They're protecting point.

07:59They're protecting deep mid-wicket.

08:03With that man at point.

08:04Well, there's two there, but no one back.

08:07Amazingly, they're going for exactly the same field.

08:10So, here we go.

08:11Here comes Pereira.

08:12Four runs needed off this delivery.

08:14Oh, swing and a miss.

08:17Swing and a miss.

08:18Oh, and a little speech, too, from Casara Pereira as Maxwell walked past.

08:23There's a bit of feeling in this one, but the Sri Lankans have triumphed.

08:28They win by two runs.

08:31And they're happy, aren't they, the Sri Lankans?

08:33The pressure was on.

08:35Australia did well, though.

08:37Getting it down to four runs.

08:41Unable to put it away.

08:42Maxwell went bang, bang, four.

08:44Four gave his country a chance.

08:46Yeah, Maxwell obviously very disappointed there.

08:48You've got to give credit to George Bailey after the rain delay.

08:51Batted brilliantly.

08:52Maxwell.

08:55Jeez, he hit the first two.

08:57Missed the third.

08:59Pereira just lets him know.

09:01Well, that is a courageous ball to bowl, that last ball.

09:07Two had already gone.

09:07You can see the discussion's still going.

09:10Not happy at all, some of these players.

09:13So the series has been 1-2-0 by Sri Lanka.

09:16Big, big finish to this game.

09:19Four needed off the last ball.

09:21It was there.

09:22It was there to hit to exactly the same spot.

09:25But Glenn Maxwell, for the first time in his very short innings,

09:28was unable to get back to...
