As of the end of the second day of the second Test between Australia and Sri Lanka in Galle, Australia is in a commanding position. After dismissing Sri Lanka for 257, Australia reached 330 for 3 at stumps, leading by 73 runs with seven wickets in hand. Steve Smith and Alex Carey were the standout performers, both scoring unbeaten centuries and sharing a 239-run partnership. Smith is on 120 not out, while Carey is on 139 not out. The pitch has offered significant turn, but the Australian batsmen have handled the conditions adeptly.
Sri Lanka's bowlers struggled to maintain consistency throughout the day. The new ball will be available at the start of day three, which could provide some assistance to the bowlers.
Fantastic
