Sri Lanka sensationally lost their last 6 wickets after tea as Mitchell Starc and Peter Siddle claimed nine wickets between them to clean up Sri Lanka's lower order batsmen and deliver Australia a 137-run victory in the last hour of the test match.

Australia 5 for 450 dec and 278 beat Sri Lanka 336 and 255 (Sangakkara 63, Samaraweera 49, Starc 5-63, Siddle 4-50) by 137 runs.
