Australia v Sri Lanka Live: Day two, second Test, Manuka Oval

That concludes a day of highs and lows and everything in between.

The biggest talking point will be the health of Sri Lanka opening batsman Dimuth Karunaratne after he was struck on the neck by a Cummins bouncer and taken to hospital with pain in his neck and tingling in his arms.

Sri Lanka were cruising until that moment at 0-82, but struggled after Karunaratne retired hurt and finished at 3-123 with De Silva on one and Perera 11.

It came after the Aussies declared at 5-534, with Kurtis Patterson scoring his maiden century and unbeaten on 114.

Australia will look to press home their advantage when play resumes on Sunday.

Not a good shot from Chandimal, but this wicket will do Starc's confidence a world of good.

Is that the turning point in him keeping his spot in the Australian XI for the first Ashes Test later this year?

Mitchell Starc ends his wicket drought, a bouncer draws a false shot from Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal and he's caught behind off the glove.

Sri Lanka now 3-120 with less than three overs remaining in day two.

Perera unbeaten on nine and he's joined by De Silva.

It's official! A crowd of 11,388 at Manuka Oval today, which is a sellout and the first one of the international summer!

Underfire Aussie quick Mitchell Starc has returned to the attack for the first time since his opening spell at the start of the Sri Lanka innings.

He went for eight runs, although half of those came from an outside edge that went to thirdman for four.

Australia send it upstairs for the third umpire to check after Lyon hit Chandimal on the pad.

Umpire gave it not out and hawkeye says it was going down legside. Sri Lanka 1-101. Make that 2-101!

Cummins beats Mendis all ends up and clips the top of off stump. Cracking delivery!.

Mendis gone for six, Chandimal remains on five and is joined by Perera.
