06:51Australia’s summer-ending series with Sri Lanka just keeps getting better and better. Today it was the turn of Mitchell Starc and Usman Khawaja to celebrate, the former with a five-for, the latter with an unbeaten ton. Both were under pressure coming into this match and both will feel a lot better about their Ashes prospects after it. The declaration came immediately after Khawaja’s ton - Australia’s fourth individual century of the match - but Sri Lanka navigated a tricky half-hour to stumps. To see if the tourists can negotiate the next two days and secure an unlikely result, join me, Adam and Geoff back here tomorrow.
