Australia 330 2 (Khwaja 147*, Smith 104*, Head 57, Vanders 1-93 vs. Sri Lanka
Australia ended the opening day of the series at a dominant position in 330 for 2 with the rainy season after the 5.1 overs. Khwaja and Smith have come together for a third wicket run by Khwaja and Smith to capitalize on the capital of batting-friendly conditions for the Australian party to win the first series in Sri Lanka since the 21st.
The average 66 66 66 66 66 66 in the previous 38 exams as captain, Smith clearly enjoyed taking the lead with Pat Cummins on fatherhood vacation. He was in the sublime form after lunch, and Sri Lanka Tabizman Pravat Jayasuria reached his half -century before showing patience in the final session because of a protective leg stump line.
With the threat of the dark sky, Smith had returned his 35th Test century to his pace. In his last seven Test innings, three tonnes of Khosa, raising his baggrin in a preserved celebration with Smith.
Smith started the match by 9999 after the landmark was less than the landmark in the fifth Test against India at his SCG Home Ground.
However, Smith reached the milestone in his first delivery just before lunch, Ricky Ponting, Alan Border and Steve Wah, joined the only Australian to achieve the milestone. While he celebrated with a little wave wave of the bat, he was enthusiastically enthusiasm from his teammates and Jovial Australia fans.
He read almost moments when he offered to catch a return to Jayasuriya, who spread an opportunity on his right. However, Smith was almost innocent after him because he donated his baggrine cap and batted with the authorities. In the first session, a lot of Smith, like opener Khwaja and Travis, had swept his legs and noticed the spinners down the ground.
Without facing the painful Jasprit Bumrah, Khwaja cut off a comfortable personality and played a good intention to end a century without a century after the Ashes Test in mid -2021.
After a fat series against India, the pressure was based on the 38 -year -old Khawaja, but he fully completed the aggression of Smith and Head, who had justified the order up with 57 balls with 40 balls.
Khwaja had a good impact on the opposite sweep and reached 5 balls in his century, pumped his fists and celebrated his helmet before the waving.
It has begun a Terride in the two-test series for Sri Lanka, who were especially OP-alu on the field and were tired of their reviews. During his Test debut in 2022, 12 wickets were destroyed in the venue, with their numerous possibilities for dismissing Khwaja with two drop catch in Jayasuria bowling.
Khwaja was also lucky in 744 when he bought Jayasuriya to wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis, but did not review Sri Lanka out decision.
In addition to a menking spell before the lunch of Legspinner Jeffrey Vandersi, who turned the ball square into an amazing inclusion, Sri Lanka bowlers were rushing and the Australia scored run was unable to renew the defensive strategies on the back of the day’s game.
However, the damage suffered after the inaugural two sessions of Australia were stacked at 212 at the rate of 5.4.
If the coin falls between the moisture and the grassless surface, the head tune is set after Smith’s bat is not hesitant to bat. In some controversial steps, the head of the 5 -year -old Sam came up to No.1 at the expense of Constas, who started surveillance of his examination against India.
The decision was allowed to launch his Test in five as a specialist batter of Western Australia wicketkeeper and spin. However, he is not needed till now.
Earlier in Sri Lanka, after fighting as a middle order bowl, India had achieved the chief head as an opener in India, and he replicated that with a 12 -run partnership with Khawaja. The Swift Strike rate of the Head suggests the batting batting directly out of the recently concluded Big Bash, but he plays smartly and most Orthodox fashion.
The Head reached from 8 to 25 and did not show any compassion, but when he was scattered on the pads, he quickly had a little fate in the last ball of Asita Fernando’s opening three-over spell. Fernando had strongly applied, but the Sri Lanka chose against review, though the replays suggested that the decision was not reversed.
Head reached his half-century from 35 balls, but when he tried to hurt Jayasuria because of a long-on, Dinesh tried to hurt Chandimal on the rope.
The game has turned into – literally – Vanders produces sharp legspin from Gate Go. He torn the legbreck in a Shane Warne-Ask to defeat Marnas Labuschagon, ending his first delivery, when Nishan shouted a huge LBW near Pierris that the DRS decided the DRSK in the batter. As soon as Sri Lanka finished the first session in a better soul, Pocketed Vanders at Labaschagon in 20 to go back to the first session. But their mood was rapidly resuming rapidly when Smith dropped Jaisuria straight to the ground for six, and Sri Lanka scored freely until their strategy changed.
Jaisuriya bowled four Maiden on both sides of the tea, noticed on a leg stump line that a patient was constantly padding the ball.
Negative lines were found in the game a required spark before talking to umpire Chris Ghafani to the Sri Lankan when Smith’s tired bowling could go seventh on the list of most Test centuries.
Sri Lanka took the second new ball, but after seven balls, he interfered with relief for the direction of the rain.
Australia chose a spin-heavy attack with off-spinner Tod Murphy and Left-Arma Matthew Kuhneman as a complement to Australia Frontliner Nathan Lyon.
Mitchell Stark was the only paceman named all -rounder Beau Webster Bowling SIM and Spin. Scott Bolland was unfortunately excluded after taking 10 wickets against India in the SCG Test.
