Australia Strikes Early After Finishing with 654/6

Australia's massive 654/6, led by Usman Khawaja's 232, Steve Smith's 141, and Josh Inglis's 102, left Sri Lanka trailing by 610 runs at 44 for 3 by stumps in Galle.

Key Wickets:

  • Usman Khawaja (232) – Nudged his way to 150 early on and went on to get to his 200 with a single past Prabath Jayasuriya.
  • Steve Smith (141) – Got out in the first over after the drinks break to a sharply spinning ball from Jeffrey Vandersay.
  • Josh Inglis (102) – Deployed the pull and the sweep to great effect, getting to 50 and then 100, before lobbing one to mid-off.

Sri Lanka's Struggles:

  • Oshada Fernando began positively but was squared up by Matthew Kuhnemann and rapped onto his pads.
  • Dimuth Karunaratne nicked behind to gully off Mitchell Starc.
  • Angelo Matthews nicked one onto his pads, which was gobbled up by the short-leg fielder.

Brief Scores:

  • Australia: 654/6 (Usman Khawaja 232, Steve Smith 141, Josh Inglis 102)
