Sri Lanka had lost the opportunity to dismiss Khwaja quite before a century, as captain Dhananjay D. Silva did not choose the option to take a review, while the opener was batting for 76 runs off Jayasuriya. Later in the replay, it was confirmed that the left -handed batsman had touched the ball and he got a life.

Earlier, after winning the toss and batting first, Travis Head (57) started in the Border Gavaskar Trophy series from where he started and made a great start to the visiting team, which included three fours in the initial over against Asitha Fernando. Were. The left -handed batsman did not stop here and he once again targeted the fernandos and hit two fours in the fifth over, while Khwaja also joined the party by putting his first four of the game in the same over.

Smith became only the 15th batsman to score 10,000 Test runs off his first ball at the crease and thus joined a special club of Australian great players, including Alan Border, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting. Sri Lanka would surely be happy by dismissing Labushen and bringing the guest team to 145/2 till lunch, but the next two sessions were completely in Australia.
