Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith tons power Australia to 330-2 in first Test

Steve Smith remained unbeaten on 104 after surpassing 10,000 Test runs, guiding Australia to a commanding position alongside fellow centurion Usman Khawaja on day one of the opening Test in Galle on Wednesday.

Australia reached 330-2 in 81.1 overs before rain brought an early end to play after electing to bat first in the two-match series. Left-handed opener Khawaja, on 147, and skipper Smith stitched an unbroken 195-run stand, frustrating the Sri Lankan attack in two wicketless afternoon sessions.
