Australia picked up the last five wickets quickly and enforced the follow-on. The Sri Lankan openers couldn't negotiate the new ball. With a huge lead ahead of them, they succumbed under pressure. Chandimal and Mathews built a 69-run partnership, but Nathan Lyon broke that just before Lunch. Join us for the next session in 40 minutes.
