Australia were in trouble early on the opening day in the second Test, losing David Warner for 5 after electing to bat. Warner was undone by Kasun Rajitha’s brute of a ball that angled away and struck timber. Marnus Labuschagne brought up his first Test century away from home while Steve Smith went on to notch up an elusive hundred, in what was a spotless performance in the second session as the duo extended their partnership to 134 before Labuschagne eventually perished.
Brief Scores: Australia 298/5 (Steve Smith 109*, Marnus Labuschagne 104; Prabath Jayasuriya 3-90) vs Sri Lanka
Beaten on the outside and Warner is gone for 5.
