A video of 'The Outfield' of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) which is the host for the Boxing Day Test match between Australia and Sri Lanka, starting Wednesday.

 
Earlier, Kumar Sangakkara (43 not out) joined an elite club of batsmen who have scored 10,000 or more runs in Test cricket as he carried Sri Lanka to a wobbly 79 for three at lunch on Day One of the Boxing Day Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
