Steve Smith ended his century drought and Marnus Labuschagne struck his first Test hundred abroad to steer Australia to 298 for the loss of five wickets on day one of the second test against Sri Lanka in Galle on Friday.
Prabath Jayasuriya, one of the three debutants fielded after five COVID-19 cases in the Sri Lanka camp, claimed three wickets either side of the tea break but Australia appeared on course for a massive first innings total.
Smith was batting on 109 not out at stumps, his first century after a gap of 16 innings, which included 14 fours.
