Australia skittled Sri Lanka out for 156 and trailed by just six runs at stumps after an eventful opening day saw 13 wickets fall in the second Test. The home side were in command as they were 150 for three at the close yesterday.
Sangakkara joined the 10,000 runs club (in his 195th Test innings) and Mitchell Johnson claimed his 200th Test wicket before the Australia batsmen made Sri Lanka pay for their paltry first innings total made off just 43.4 overs

“We’re definitely in a strong position,” said Johnson. “Now we’ve just got to move forward as we have a big day ahead.”
