Sri Lanka 229 for 9 (Chandimal 74, K Mendis 59*, Stark 3-37, Leon 3-78) vs. Australia
A trio of Australian expert bowlers toilet manually during a repeated once against a fighting Sri Lanka on the surface of a dry cheek, who did not live for campaigning, but sometimes wandered fast and It is expected to deteriorate considerably.
After Sri Lanka faced its worst defeat in Test cricket on a slow surface, there was a lot of speculation that this new surface would bite and bend significantly. Many times there was a sharp turn, especially in the second session, but it was the continuity and variety of Australia bowlers, which led to many cheap dismissal.
Sri Lanka made three changes with Patham Nisanka in place of Oshada Fernando at the top of the order, while offspinsor Ramesh Mendis and Quick Lahiru Kumara were included at the cost of Jeffrey Vanders and Asitha Fernando.
In his Test returns, fresh from his nine-diche race, Kuheniman was also handed over a new ball and after a review of Australia, he shouted a loud shout for LBW on Nisanka with a decision on the umpire’s call.
The Sri Lankan openers created continuously despite some nervous moments as Smith returned to Leon in the eighth over. Taking a dig at the footworks from Starc, Leon produced a significant twist and bounce on his second delivery, which blew the legside for four bye.
But Leon was not designed for a long time for a wicket after hitting the top of the leg stump, when Nisanka was moving far away in her stumps who were looking for a paddle sweep. Australia was instigated, but the first Test was lacking that Inroads proved to be difficult against the type of disciplined batting from Sri Lanka.
Konoli was brought just before lunch, but he bowled in his last four first -class matches. Konoli developed a habit of taking important wickets in the recent BBL season, but could not strike as Sri Lanka made it to have lunch well.
Chandimal resumed after a gap with a range from Lyon before going to the head of the game.
Leone separated his speed and delivered rapidly from the wicket around the protecting the stumps. He was in a cute rhythm and went about working on Angelo Matthews, knowing that he had number after rejecting him twice in the first Test.
Matthews creeped 25 to 25 for a slow, broad Leone delivery and an edge in the glove of Alex Carey, which has performed well behind the stumps in this series.
Lyon saw his 550th wicket when Kamindu was caught behind only 3, not successfully reviewed for this decision. Kamindu could not be capitalized and fell after a least a thick cut shot after a thick edge after a thick edge.
The head highlighted its customary celebration, suggesting that his spinning fingers were on fire, as Kamindu’s struggle continued after entering the series with more than 70 average.
Posting the head was another step of Smith who had done one treatment and his intestinal tendency was rewarded when he threw the ball to Stark, who rejected D. Silva for Golden Duck, He made a detailed delivery to the street directly.
Chandimal’s defense knock ended at 74, when he was cheated in the air by Kuhnemann and lost his leg before stumped from the work of sharp gloves from Carrie.
Like the first Test, Australia saw the Sri Lankan lower order, but Kusal shook the remaining non-strayer’s remaining after a collision with Kuhnemann.
He has a good effect on frequent delivery, which later sails over the rope. Kusal got good support from Nemkek Ramesh, who has been a solid batting in first -class cricket.
He rotated the strike thoroughly and chose the topical boundary to disappoint a flag in Australia. Ramesh’s first-class average is around 40, not a high score of 300, but his test mark sits on a disappointing 18, with 22 previous innings no half-century.
