Khawaja again leads Australia in spin-friendly 2nd test against Sri Lanka

Hindustan Times  

GALLE, Sri Lanka — Fresh off a double hundred in the first test, Usman Khawaja once again underlined why he is Australia’s finest batsman in Asian conditions as he led the tourists past an early wobble to reach 85-2 at lunch on Day 2 of the second test against Sri Lanka. Khawaja again leads Australia in spin-friendly 2nd test against Sri Lanka Khawaja was unbeaten on 34 at the interval Friday, with Steve Smith on 23, as Australia trailed the hosts by 172 runs. He looked equally assured against spin this time, rarely troubled by Sri Lanka’s slow bowlers, who had struck early to remove Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne. From a precarious 37 for two, Australia recovered as Khawaja and Smith stitched together an unbroken 48-run stand for the third wicket to have the tourists well-placed at lunch.
