The second Test is just getting underway. As expected, Australia replaced Ricky Ponting with Shaun Marsh, as the ex-captain flew home for the birth of his second child. marsh, the son of former opener Geoff, will bat at three, despite Usman Khawaja being in the side. For the hosts, Sri Lanka have been forced to replace the injured Herath who took eight wickets in the first Test, although not with Ajantha Mendis, who supposedly has back problems. An unexpected debut instead for the spinner Seekkugge Prasanna. Sri Lanka have woin the toss and will bat.
