The Australian side is well in command here and literally dictating the terms in the match. Sloppy fielding by the Sri Lankan side hands visitors to stay ahead in the game. Usman Khawaja is closing on his 100 while Steve Smith, after completing 10000 Test runs is looking to play aggressively.
End of Session 1! Australia will be happy with the proceedings. Usman Khawaja and Travis Head provided a great start with Sunrisers Hyderabad batter smashing the Sri Lankan bowling attack. After his departure, Usman Khawaja took control and completed his half-century. Captain Steve Smith came in late and scored ‘the crucial one run’ to complete his 10000 Test runs. More action to follow.
