We are back for the post-Lunch session on Day 4! The umpires are back out in the middle and so are the players of Australia. It will be Kamindu Mendis to walk in at number 5 and join Angelo Mathews at the crease for Sri Lanka. Nathan Lyon to continue after the break. Let's go...

... DAY 4, SESSION 2 ...

Right then, Australia's lead still stands at a massive 414 runs and with Chandimal back in the hut, the visitors will look to attack after the break. However, there is a forecast of some rain in the afternoon, so, that is something to watch out for as well. Do join us for the post-Luncg session on Day 4 for all the action starting at 7.10 am GMT.

Cut to Sri Lanka's second innings and it was the same story for their openers as Oshada Fernando was trapped LBW by Mitchell Starc and then Todd Murphy uprooted the off stump of Dimuth Karunaratne leaving the hosts reeling at 6/2. Then came the stand between Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathews and both batters managed to play freely and the runs started to flow as well but in the last over before Lunch, Lyon got the wicket of Chandimal, who achieved a rare feat of getting dismissed twice in one session and Sri Lanka will have to rebuild again after the break.

Sri Lanka started the session at 136/5 in the first innings and the overnight duo of Dinesh Chandimal and Kusal Mendis came out with a positive intent and managed to pick up a few runs but once Matthew Kuhnemann dismissed Mendis, it started a procession of wickets for the Lankans and they folded for just 165, conceding a lead of 489 runs, the third-highest ever in Test history. Kuhnemann  also went on to pick up a second five-wicket haul in his Test career and along with Nathan Lyon did a fine job.

A riveting session of Test cricket comes to an end and right on the stroke of Lunch, Nathan Lyon has put Australia in a commanding position. The session began on a positive note for Sri Lanka but they have lost complete control with the bat and are now in a precarious position.

Nathan Lyon to Dinesh Chandimal, OUT! CAUGHT! What a sensational use of a review from Steven Smith and Australia as they break the 69-run partnership. Nathan Lyon gets the wicket of Dinesh Chandimal twice in a session! This is short and on off, turning in, Dinesh Chandimal lunges to block but is beaten on the inside edge with the ball turning back in. The ball lobs off his pads straight to Travis Head at short leg and the Australians go up for an appeal. The umpire turns it down and Nathan Lyon seems to be convinced by the decision. Steven Smith however is pretty confident there were two sounds and sends it upstairs for a check. The UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball goes past the glove and the third umpire deems it OUT. The original onfield call is asked to be overturned and Australia get the big wicket of Dinesh Chandimal for 31 (49) just at the stoke of Lunch.
