VB Series, Perth: Australia 305-5 (50 overs) beat Sri Lanka 163 all out (43 overs) by 142 runs
Darren Lehmann is promoted to open the batting and the move proves justified as he attacks the bowling

Fellow opener Matthew Hayden is also in good form and hits 64 off 68 balls as Australia start strongly

Hayden and Lehmann share a partnership of 162 before Hayden is bowled by Sanath Jayasuriya

Lehmann makes 119 during Australia's innings of 305-5 before finally being bowled by Prabath Nissanka

Brett Lee makes an early breakthrough as he takes the wicket of Sanath Jayasuriya for just three runs

A rare fielding error by Lehmann proves irrelevant as Shane Watson's three wickets seal an easy victory
