Warner takes 10 from 2 balls, going for percentage. Australia into the 8.

Close second would be Cam Green. In the context of the match, his innings was superb.

Sri Lanka lost their last 6 wickets for 18 - just as well Australia had a solid first innings lead, thanks to Khawaja, Carey and Green. It might have been nasty if they'd been chasing 120,

That, by the way, was the highest fourth innings total ever made to win a Test match within an over.
All my own work.
Seriously, it's only the equal-12th quickest 4th innings victory chase of all time. Believe it or not, Sri Lanka once lost to South Africa in Capetown by conceding a single from an opening no-ball with just 2 runs the target - so that the official length of the 4th innings was 0.0 overs.
