Sri Lanka still fighting in Hobart

Australia still need seven wickets to defeat Sri Lanka and complete a series whitewash in the second Test at Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

Chasing a victory target of 507, the tourists reached 3 for 247 at stumps on day four, the total so far highlighted by an unbeaten century to Kumar Sangakkara.

Sangakkara was on 109 at the close of play while Sanath Jayasuriya was on 33, the pair having put on 89 runs for the fourth wicket with Sri Lanka now needing a further 260 runs for an unlikely victory.

The world record fourth innings run chase for victory was 7 for 418 by the West Indies against Australia in Antigua in May 2003.
