SL vs AUS, 2nd Test Day 1: Australia dominates as Sri Lanka crumbles to 229-9 in Galle

The Hindu  

Australia was firmly in control against Sri Lanka in the second Test after reducing the host to 229-9 by stumps on day one Thursday. Sri Lanka lost opener Pathum Nissanka early, but a 70-run stand for the second wicket between Dimuth Karunaratne and Chandimal steadied the innings. Sri Lanka vs Australia, 2nd Test Day 1 Highlights Spinner Nathan Lyon broke through when Karunaratne was late in bringing his bat down and was bowled off an inside edge. A 65-run stand for the seventh wicket between Kusal and Ramesh Mendis prolonged Sri Lanka’s innings, leaving Australia running out of ideas.
