Franko : "Very frustrating, only the four bowlers used. DDS, Angelo and Kamindu could have added variation!"
Craig: "Alex Carey demonstrating again what an understated but fine, consistent and valuable player he is to the Australian team."
4.14pm Sri Lanka's pain finally ends. What sums the mood up is that while the Sri Lanka players are still making their way back, Smith and his troops rush out on to the field. After fielding for 154 overs, the hosts are visibly tired; and the credit for that goes to Khawaja (232), Smith (141) and Inglis (102), who kept piling on the runs - and the frustration - as Australia declare at a mountain of a score of 654. Join us in ten for Sri Lanka's reply.
