Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score 1st Test, Day 2

Prabath Jayasuriya to Travis Head, OUT! CAUGHT! That has come out of nowhere and Sri Lanka finally break this opening stand! Well, you live by the sword and you die by it. Head was looking to attack the bowlers from the word go and he has eventually fallen to his own policy, but not before a quickfire 57 (40). Prabath Jayasuriya continues to give the ball flight and Travis Head continues to use his feet. Only this time, he is not quite to the pitch of the ball. He aims to clear long on but for once, the ball hits the bottom of his bat. Hence, he gets more height than distance and Dinesh Chandimal makes no mistake at the fence. Just the kick the Lankans needed heading into the break, as Australia are 92/1!

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, This time, he says back and works it through square leg for a single.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, Oohhh... full, around off, Usman Khawaja comes down the track and chips it in the air, but just short of short mid-wicket.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, Slower through the air, fuller in length, outside off, but because of the slow nature of the pitch, UK has enough time to go back and work it through square leg for one.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Usman Khawaja, FOUR! Risky, or innovative? The viewer's call.

But Khawaja goes through with his shot and gets it through point! The stand moves to 81 (74).

Prabath Jayasuriya to Travis Head, FOUR! MURDERED! Tossed up, outside off, Head jumps down the track, takes the spinner on and hammers it to the left of mid off! Simon Katich on air observes that Head got too close to the ball and hence did not hit it as cleanly as he should have. Had he hit it cleanly, the elevation would have been bigger. Moves to 49.

Nishan Peiris to Usman Khawaja, Flighted delivery on leg, Khawaja defends it to mid-wicket.

Not a bad start to this Test series in Galle, for Australia. They have got a 50-run opening stand in Sri Lanka after 8 years. Of course, that is stretching it a bit too much because they have played only two series in that span. So let's put it this way - the last time they were here, in Sri Lanka, for a Test series, in 4 innings, their highest opening stand was 49 - with Usman Khawaja and David Warner opening on all occasions.

Prabath Jayasuriya to Travis Head, Nice and full, on the middle and leg, eased away to mid-wicket.

Review time! Sri Lanka have taken a review for LBW against Travis Head. Looks really close but were the bat and pad close together? Not really. It is the impact. Outside off. Review lost.

Nishan Peiris to Travis Head, Sri Lanka lose a review in the 8th over itself. A flighted ball from around the wicket, a shade outside off, Head pressed forward to defend it but it hit him on the front pad. There is a huge shout for LBW, but the umpire moves away. The keeper and bowler have a chat, and after a detailed chat, Dhananjaya de Silva decides to signal the 'T'. UltraEdge shows no bat involved but the Ball Tracker confirms the impact to be outside off. NOT OUT. Looked close to the naked eye.

Nishan Peiris to Travis Head, Turns away, full and around off, Travis Head hangs back and works it to point.
