Perfect little session for Australia after tea, they have wrapped things up without much more damage and take first-innings honours (although we wait to see what 212 is really worth). Eight wickets between Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Swepson. Sri Lanka never really had a stable foothold in the innings and were grateful for Niroshan Dickwella to get as far as they did. Still 29 overs left today, but doubt we'll get all those. Will be interesting to see how Australia's top order goes about this. And, of course, how Sri Lanka's go on this surface. I'll be back in a few minutes.

Tim: "This could be an expensive Test for Australia. I can see they will lose 2 points here for slow over rate. Even with wickets, DRS and general time they are about 5 -6 overs behind. With two spinners bowling the majority."
