Sri Lanka v Australia 1st Test Live | SL vs AUS 1st Test Day 4 Live Scores & Commentary | SL innings
Day 4: First Session - Australia needed 15 wickets going into the start of the 4th day and they've grabbed 8 of those in just the first session. They waited patiently this morning for an opening and Kusal Mendis gifted them one. The tail was exposed at his dismissal and the visitors sliced through it with minimal fuss. Chandimal fought hard for his 72 but he was one amongst the collapse as the hosts fell away from 156 for 5 to 165 all-out. Forced to follow-on they had a horror start to the second innings with both openers falling cheaply once again. Chandimal and Angelo Mathews did steady the ship but the former's dismissal capped off a terrific session for the visitors. Looks like only rain can prevent an Australian win now - can the hosts defy the visitors Day 4: Just 27 overs of play possible today. Both the 2nd and 3rd sessions have been lost. Sri Lanka lost two more wickets this morning that of Kamindu Mendis who was strangled down leg and Dhananjaya de Silva who was out stumped. After that though Sri Lanka found some stability. Dinesh Chandimal played with great control and reached his fifty. He employed the sweep and reverse-sweep to great effect and threw the Aussie bowlers off their lengths. Kusal Mendis looked good too in the brief period he was out there. Still Australia kept probing and got the ball to bite and turn. Batting will only get harder as this game progresses and Sri Lanka are still staring at a 518-run deficit. Day 3: After two days of sheer domination by Australia Sri Lanka find themselves in the doldrums. Australia piled on runs mercilessly yesterday before finally declaring 646 that wasn’t the end of Sri Lanka’s woes as ended up losing three quick wickets before the close of play. Batting that seemed to look so easy when the Australians were at the crease. Day 2: Khawaja who was content to play second-fiddle then became the aggressor as Labuschagne struggled against Vandersay. Just before lunch the leggie got Marnus and that's when Smith came out. He got to his 10000 Test run off his first delivery and from then on it was one-way traffic. Sri Lanka tried everything Asitha with the short ball tactic Jayasuriya with a negative over the wicket line to the right-hander but nothing worked. Day 1: It was part of the cultural welcome to the two teams that Smith had to be a part of as Australia's captain on the eve of the first Test that starts on January 29. While the 35-year-old veteran seemed to be both intrigued and fascinated with the ultra-energetic goings-on around him you could sense that he was keener on checking out what was transpiring with the 22 yards in the middle that will have such a big say on how the next five days pan out. The fabulous 1-1 Test series between these two teams if anything was the escape that was needed desperately and it proved to be just that owing to the fast-paced nature of the cricket along with the eye-catching quality. But Galle has always proved to be a theatre of quirks whenever these two teams have taken the field here against each other. Whether it's the famous Nathan Lyon debut Test in 2011 or the Aussie rout in 2016 or the two nip-and-tuck contests we witnessed two and a half years ago. Iqbal Sports Live. Iqbal Sports. Km Punk. SL Cricket Live. Having sealed their spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final Australia may not technically have a lot riding on how the next two weeks play out. But they do have a record to set straight here having not won a Test series on Sri Lankan soil in 14 years. And like the atmosphere around the Galle stadium on Tuesday courtesy mainly the flame throwers this series promises to be quite intense and intriguing in equal measure. Cricket Live Today.
