In an enthralling contest in the 2nd Test between Sri Lanka and Australia, the visitors have taken a commanding lead of 157 runs after their first innings. Australia were bowled out for 414 runs, thanks to superb centuries from Alex Carey (156) and Steven Smith (131). Their efforts put Australia in a strong position, with Carey's remarkable knock being the standout performance.
Sri Lanka, in response, managed only 257 runs in their first innings. While there were some notable contributions, including Nishan Peiris' 94 and Prabath Jayasuriya’s impressive 5-wicket haul, it wasn’t enough to match Australia’s formidable total. Jayasuriya finished with figures of 151/5, while Peiris contributed with 94/3.
With Australia leading by 157 runs, Sri Lanka will need a solid effort in their second innings to stay alive in the match and level the series.
