Patterson belts Sri Lanka for maiden century: 2nd Test, Day 2 (Canberra)

Kurtis Patterson scored his maiden Test century and Mitchell Starc struck late to restrict Sri Lanka to 123-3 to have Australia on top.

Sri Lanka's openers combined for an 82-run stand before Dimuth Karunaratne (46) was forced to retire hurt after ducking into a Pat Cummins bouncer which struck the back of his neck.

Sri Lanka 3 for 123 (Kusal 11*, Dhananjaya 1*) trail Australia 534 for 5 dec (Burns 180, Head 161, Patterson 114*, Vishwa 3-126) by 411 runs.
