Brett Lee bowled Australia to total domination -- picking up four wickets in the first innings -- as Sri Lanka slumped to 80 for two after being forced to follow on, on the third day of the first Test in Brisbane on Saturday.

Lee returned figures of 4 for 26 as the visitors were bowled out for 211 after Ricky Ponting's men declared on 551 for four.

Following on, Sri Lanka were in trouble once again at the draw of stumps after losing both their openers -- Sanath Jayasuriya (39) and Marvan Atapattu (16).

Lee had Jayasuriya caught by Ponting after Andrew Symonds picked up Atapattu's wicket to leave Sri Lanka reeling at 80 for two and still trailing by a massive 260 runs.

Australia 1st Innings: 551 for 4 declared
