Australia will look to drill home the advantage they gained on day one when they resume their innings on the second day of the first Test against Sri Lanka at the Gabba in Brisbane. The day’s play begins at 2pm AEDT and you can follow it live with The Roar below.
Jhye Richardson’s addition to Australia’s XI looked to have worked wonders for the side as he ran through the Sri Lankan top-order like a hot knife through butter.
He ended his debut bowling showing with a three-wicket haul but the mode of dismissals and the batsmen who got out did enough to push Sri Lanka on to the back-foot.
Richardson began with carving out Dinesh Chandimal with a ball that went away as the Sri Lankan captain looked to go after it and was nabbed in the slips.
But the bigger wicket was that of Sri Lanka’s best batsman in recent times, Kusal Mendis, who was done in by one that jagged back into him and then left him to hit the top of off.
And then for good measure, he also added the scalp of Dananjaya de Silva before opening the floor for Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc to also run amock.
Sri Lanka’s Test match woes from recent times were well-known but when they decided to bat first after winning the toss, it looked like a courageous decision on a bowling-friendly Gabba surface.
As it turned out, the tourists’ batsmen failed to dispel any notions about their poor form, not getting any kind of start or momentum. Except Niroshan Dickwella that is.
Keeper-batsman Dickwella used his unorthodox batting style and curious shot selection to disrupt the Aussie pacers and had it not been for his 78-ball 64, things might have been way worse for the visitors.
Still, 144 isn’t the kind of score you expect to be defended too often and with Australia having reached 2/72 at stumps, it remains to be seen what kind of tactic they come out with.
Because it was surprising to watch Marcus Harris get away with an unbeaten score of 40 without being tested out by any bouncers. And when they were actually hurled at that other end, they weren’t incisive enough.
Lahiru Kumara will also need to up the ante after an underwhelming first day with the ball because if Sri Lanka needs to make inroads with a four-man bowling attack, they need all of them to keep pegging away.
Prediction
Australia’s batsmen to pile on the misery and bat nearly the entire day to take a big lead over Sri Lanka’s 144.
