Steven Smith and Shaun Marsh hit centuries but Sri Lanka spinner Rangana Herath picked up six wickets to restrict Australia's first-innings lead to 24 runs on the third day of the third and final test. The 38-year-old Herath continued tormenting Australia with left-arm spin, taking his series tally to 21 wickets. Smith used his feet brilliantly against the spinners and brought up his 15th test hundred with an on-driven single off Perera. The right-hander was stumped smartly by wicketkeeper Kusal Perera off Herath who also dismissed all-rounder Moises Henriques (four) in similar fashion. Mitchell Marsh (53) notched his second half-century in tests before becoming another of Herath's victims.
