Rangana Herath became only the second Sri Lankan cricketer to claim a test hat-trick on the second morning of the second test against Australia this morning.

The left-arm spinner dismissed Adam Voges, Peter Nevill and Mitchell Starc off successive deliveries to achieve the feat.

Congratulations Rangana. A hat-trick is always good but to get one against the number one side is even more special. Well done lads for winning the series, now make it 3.
