00:00There's Bordeaux coming in to replace Greg Chappell at the wicket.
00:20Asantha DeMille and DS De Silva in particular bowling very well.
00:28That's DeMille running in to bowl to border the new batsman in.
00:40That's a four, four to border.
00:44Three sixty-five for four.
00:53And now it's border, border facing DS De Silva.
00:58A very confident appeal for like before.
01:04Perhaps a bit too high.
01:07Total four twenty-seven for four.
01:10The last wicket falling at three hundred and fifty-nine.
01:14Greg Chappell.
01:16DS De Silva now bowls to border.
01:19End of DS De Silva.
01:28Silver.
01:30Not a happy position to be in.
01:33That's David Hooks.
01:35That beats Dias.
01:36But it's collected down here by Gunnaratna.
01:47One run coming off.
01:51One run coming off.
02:06Jomesh Ratnayaka.
02:08Miss fields in the first attempt.
02:11But saves the four.
02:13The batsmen take.
02:14Three runs, is it?
02:15Three runs off that stroke.
02:16Four ninety-four.
02:17Collected by Madhukala.
02:18And a very good throw right over the bales.
02:20Pavilion.
02:21So the long toil has ended for the Sri Lankan bowlers.
02:22Actually, the last two runs, is it?
02:24Three runs off that stroke.
02:26Four ninety-four.
02:27Collected by Madhukala.
02:29And a very good throw right over the bales.
02:33Pavilion.
02:35So the long toil has ended for the Sri Lankan bowlers.
02:37At tea time today, the second day of this inaugural test, Dreadchapel applied the closure with Australia on five hundred and fourteen for four.
02:57A massive total indeed.
02:59The hapless Sri Lankan bowlers toiled tirelessly over three sessions and two sessions today.
03:05But without luck.
03:07Every Australian batsman scored bar wood.
03:10Of course, there was Wessels who got a hundred and forty-one.
03:14And he was followed by another superlative century by David Hooks who made his maiden test hundred.
03:21Adding to this was Yalap getting a brilliant ninety-eight.
03:24And Chappell, sixty-six.
03:26Border was on forty-seven.
03:28And together these batsmen really took heavy toll of the Sri Lankan bowlers who toiled on this very unresponsive vicar.
03:35So Sri Lanka have a long haul before them.
03:38Five hundred and fourteen runs for four wickets is certainly a formidable total.
03:43They need three hundred and fourteen runs if they are to avoid the follow-on.
03:47Adding to their miseries is the fact that neither Diluc Mendes nor Roy Dias is fully fit.
03:51But then they can only hope that these two batsmen will come unstuck in this important game.
03:57So, Australia declaring at tea time on the second day with a score at five hundred and fourteen for four.
04:04Wood, four.
04:06Whistles, one hundred and forty-one.
04:07Gallop, ninety-eight.
04:09Chappell, sixty-six.
04:10Hooks not out, one hundred and forty-three.
04:12And border, forty-seven.
04:14Of the Sri Lankan bowlers, D.S. De Silva putting in a splendid performance and undoubtedly the pick of the bowlers.
04:20The Press DVD.
04:21Thank you, Paul.
04:22Good afternoon.
04:23Good afternoon.
04:24Thank you, Paul.
