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.
19.1
Johnson to Mubarak, 1 wide, and Australia are out of the ICC World Twenty20 with a wide down the leg side
End of over 19 (13 runs) Sri Lanka 159/4 (1 run required from 6 balls, RR: 8.36, RRR: 1.00)
J Mubarak 21* (12b 1x4 2x6) B Lee 4-0-39-2
KC Sangakkara 55* (42b 4x4 2x6) NW Bracken 4-0-33-0
18.6
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
Lee to Mubarak, FOUR, 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
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
Lee to Mubarak, SIX, 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
End of over 18 (10 runs) Sri Lanka 146/4 (14 runs required from 12 balls, RR: 8.11, RRR: 7.00)
KC Sangakkara 54* (41b 4x4 2x6) NW Bracken 4-0-33-0
J Mubarak 10* (7b 1x6) B Lee 3-0-26-2
17.6
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
Bracken to Sangakkara, FOUR, 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
17.4
Bracken to Mubarak, 1 run, flung over midwicket but not timed
17.3
Bracken to Sangakkara, 1 run, drilled to long-on
17.3
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!
17.2
Bracken to Mubarak, 1 run, yorker, dug out to leg
17.1
Bracken to Sangakkara, 1 run, full toss banged to mid-on
End of over 17 (9 runs) Sri Lanka 136/4 (24 runs required from 18 balls, RR: 8.00, RRR: 8.00)
J Mubarak 8* (5b 1x6) B Lee 3-0-26-2
KC Sangakkara 47* (37b 3x4 2x6) NW Bracken 3-0-23-0
Now then! This match is still in the balance
16.6
Lee to Mubarak, SIX, where's this gone? Mubarak's pummelled him for six over a leaping Johnson at long-off! Tremendous stroke
30 from 19...
16.5
Lee to Mubarak, 2 runs, driven hard down the ground and long-on jogs round to save four
16.5
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
16.2
Lee to Mubarak, no run, a very fast and full delivery just outside leg
This ain't over yet
16.1
Lee to Silva, OUT, got him! A slower-ball bouncer which he pulls meekly, and Ponting jogs in to take an easy catch
c Ponting b Lee 11 (11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
33 from 24
End of over 16 (5 runs) Sri Lanka 127/3 (33 runs required from 24 balls, RR: 7.93, RRR: 8.25)
LPC Silva 11* (10b 1x4) NW Bracken 3-0-23-0
KC Sangakkara 47* (37b 3x4 2x6) NM Hauritz 4-0-27-1
15.6
Bracken to Silva, 1 run, pushed out to the off side
15.5
Bracken to Silva, no run, goes for a slog sweep and Haddin appeals - as does Watson. They're convinced he's got a thin edge on that but Bowden's arm remains planted by his side. Australia are convinced - I have to say I didn't hear anything and Bowden looks perplexed by their insistence
