Usman Khawaja has shown why the Australian cricket team had such high hopes for his Sri Lanka tour, joining milestone man Steve Smith in scoring a century on a one-sided first day of the Test series in Galle.
Explosive new opener Travis Head (57 off 40 balls) silenced critics who wanted Sam Konstas to open before Khawaja (147no) and Smith (104no) forged an unbeaten 195-run stand that put Australia well on top of their error-prone hosts.
Australia were 2-330 on Wednesday when rain forced stumps to be called 20 minutes early at 4.40pm.
