Sri Lanka vs Australia, 2nd ODI Live Score Updates: Australia Opt To Field vs Sri Lanka

SL vs AUS, 2nd ODI Live Updates: Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and elected to field first against Sri Lanka in the second one-day international on Thursday. The injury-hit tourists, who lead the five-match series 1-0, made three changes and handed left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann his ODI debut in Pallekele. Kuhnemann, Travis Head and Mitchell Swepson come in for Ashton Agar, Marcus Stoinis and Jhye Richardson. Sri Lanka made one change with the injured Wanindu Hasaranga making way for Jeffrey Vandersay as they look to bounce back from their opening loss. Hasaranga's absence is a big blow for Sri Lanka, with the all-rounder having played a brilliant knock at the death and then returned his best ODI figures in the last match. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Watch: David Warner's One-Handed Blinder That Left His Own Teammate In Disbelief

Australia opener David Warner is known not just for his batting heroics but also the brilliant athleticism he shows on the field. The 35-year-old has taken many a stunning catch and during Australia's win over Sri Lanka in the 1st ODI of their three-match series on Tuesday, he took yet another blinder. In the 16th over of Sri Lanka's innings, Dhananjaya de Silva came down the track to Ashton Agar and looked to chip it over mid-on. But unfortunately for him, it was Warner fielding there and the Australia star ran to his right and stuck his left arm up to pluck the ball out of the air and send the Sri Lanka batter packing.
