0427: Prasad back into the attack.
0424: Peter Siddle gets a rapturous reception. Great man, that Victorian ...
0423: WICKET! WHAT A CATCH! Herath has taken a catch to match Wade's effort yesterday. Hussey skies a shot towards long-on, and Herath had to make up plenty of ground before snatching the ball spectacularly with one-hand. Hussey out for 34, Australia 7/376.
0422: MCG pitch playing exactly according to plan. Good batting deck once you're in. Now the footmarks, as promised by the curator, are coming into play.
Tune in to @FOXSportsNews tonight at 9pm..... I will be in to discuss the Test match
Plenty of love for Pup on our Fox Sports Australia Facebook page:
Lachlan Anderson: "Even on half a leg, still best batsmen in the world currently! PUP!"
Darren Brown: "champion. where are the Clarke haters now!"
Ryan Harris: "Freak"
Damian Korda: "Such a better team under Clarke"
Rhys Thomas: "This is getting ridiculous."

0412: Herath v Hussey - great battle. Superb variety from the orthodox spinner. But the duo are picking Dilshan off without any fuss. Plenty of singles on offer.
0405: FOUR! Hussey drives Dilshan for four through covers. Short cover left standing like a statue despite howls from the bowler crying 'catch'.
0355: Dilshan and Herath working in tandem again. Steady as she goes, at the moment. Herath into his 31st over - getting through a pile of work.
0348: not having much luck in the slips region. Hussey edges a Matthews off-cutter for four between second slip and gully. Hussey 22, Johnson 20, AUS 6/356.
Rippersportpro is back for his tea-time say. Partnership is 25 now, good chance for Johnson here alongside Hussey: Now that Johnson is in, I'll say something that I've said before: MJ needs to play is natural game, which is scoring quick runs because if he tries to play like a batsman, it is not going to work. Perfect opportunity for him and Hussey to help Australia grind Sri Lanka into further submission with some quick runs.
0330: Right, we're back underway for the final session. What damage can Sri Lanka restrict Australia to?
Herath's back into the attack - he deserves a wicket!
