Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score 2nd Test Day 2 (Sri Lanka National Cricket Team vs Australia National Cricket Team): Australia were firmly in control against Sri Lanka in the second Test after reducing their host to 229/9 at stumps On Day 1 in Galle.
Half-centuries from Dinesh Chandimal and Kusal Mendis kept Sri Lanka in the game, but their hopes of a big first-innings total after winning the toss did not materialise. Australia bowled with discipline, sticking to its plans and backing it up with excellent fielding despite extreme heat and humidity.
Sri Lanka lost opener Pathum Nissanka early, but a 70-run stand for the second wicket between Dimuth Karunaratne and Chandimal steadied the innings. Spinner Nathan Lyon broke through when Karunaratne was late in bringing his bat down and was bowled off an inside edge.
