First Test, Brisbane, day five: Australia 551-4d beat Sri Lanka 211 & 300 by an innings and 40 runs
Australia have sealed a comprehensive win over Sri Lanka by an innings and 40 runs in the first Test in Brisbane.
Sri Lanka were bowled out for 300 in their second innings on the final day, which was twice interrupted by rain.
Aussie paceman Brett Lee wrapped things up, taking four second innings wickets to add to his four in the first innings and win the man of the match award.
Chamara Silva (43) offered some resistance but when Stuart Clark bowled Muttiah Muralitharan it was all over.
The Aussies went into the final day needing just five Sri Lankan wickets to wrap up an innings victory in their first Test match for 10 months.
