| Australia wins 2nd Test against Sri Lanka |
Sri Lanka vs Australia
Australia defeated Sri Lanka by an innings and 201 runs to win the
second boxing day test on day three at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), and seal their three-match series 2-0.
Needing 305 runs to make Australia bat again, Sri Lanka surrendered
after adding only 103 in their second innings, with a top order collapse
and a raft of injuries cutting the match short. After bowling Australia
out for 460 in the first hour, Sri Lanka staggered to lunch at 43-4 and
lost 10,000-Test run-getter Kumar Sangakkara to injury after the interval when he retired hurt
after being struck on the glove by a Mitchell Johnson delivery.
The teams will play the final dead rubber Test in Sydney on January 3.2013
