AUS vs SL 5th T20I Live Updates: Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and chose to bat in the fifth and final Twenty20 international against Sri Lanka at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. The home side are looking for a clean sweep against the visitors after winning all four previous games, including a six-wicket win in the last clash on Friday. With bowling spearheads Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc again rested, Jhye Richardson, Daniel Sams and Kane Richardson continue to shoulder the pace attack. Sri Lanka made three changes with Kamil Mishara coming in for underperforming opener Danushka Gunathilaka while Janith Liyanage replaces Dinesh Chandimal at number five. Both are making their debut. Spinner Jeffrey Vandersay, who has been costly in the last two games, was axed with slow left-armer Praveen Jayawickrama taking his place. (Live Scorecard)

Leg bye.

Matthew Wade comes in.

OUT! CAUGHT! WOW! Chamika Karunaratne has taken a stunner! Marcus Stoinis could not believe it, but he does walk back. A slower ball, fuller and outside off. Marcus Stoinis tries to go over mid off, but miscues his shot and ends up just chipping it in front of mid off. Chamika Karunaratne there, runs forward, dives ahead, and takes a spectacular catch. Australia lose their fourth now.

Is that a clean catch? Marcus Stoinis is already walking back. Just one replay is needed to confirm it.

An off-pace delivery, short in length, down the leg side. Glenn Maxwell waits for it and pulls it towards fine leg for a single.

Change. Lahiru Kumara is back into the attack.

Slower through the air now, fuller and outside off. Glenn Maxwell leans and pushes it towards cover for a single. He retains the strike!

Shorter now,
