Australia in Sri Lanka: Aussies take game away from hosts on incredible second day in Galle

We’ll be back at the slightly earlier time of 12.15pm again tomorrow for day three.

Australia need seven wickets to wrap up the first innings and will be looking to enforce a follow on.

Until then, goodnight!

The umpires have called stumps and we lose around 12 minutes of play.

Josh Inglis made a debut ton and is right to be a proud man.

“I don’t reckon it’s quite sunk in yet,” he said after play on day two.

“I think getting a boundary first ball is very nice. Because I’ve been around this group for a while now, it didn’t feel like too big of a jump up.

“Extra special to do it in front of my (family).

“A hundred on debut is special and I’m really happy.”

The covers are coming on and unlike last night, they are not happy to see them.

They are well on top of the game with Sri Lanka’s dangermen at the crease.

If they can dismiss Chandimal and Mendis it will go a long away towards wrapping up the first innings quickly.

SL 3-44

When Perth Scorchers brought Josh Inglis in to fill a hole in their side in 2017, they picked him because he had “something about him”.

And in Galle on Thursday, he showed exactly what it was.

Lyon has his first!

Matthews tries to defend but the ball spits at his gloves and Head dives for an incredible catch.

Sri Lanka in all sorts.

SL 3-30

Sri Lanka get a huge slice of luck!

Matthews takes a ball to the thigh that gets knocked onto leg stump by his gloves but the bail barely moves.

A big slice of luck.

SL 2-28

McSweeney is on the field as a sub and takes a blinder!

Karunartne fends at a short-of-a-length ball and nicks to gully.

McSweeney palms it up and then dives behind him to complete the catch.

SL 2-20

Australia have their first in the second over!

Matthew Kuhnemann takes the new ball and drops a few short early but gets the wicket of Oshada.

SL 1-7

Starc plays a huge drive but only hits the sweeper for one and Australia have pulled the pin.

They make the second-highest total ever at Galle with 6-654.

They will have roughly 40 minutes to bowl.
