After the end of day 2, Aussies are on driver seat as they have taken 101-run lead over Sri Lanka's 1st innings total and they have still 2 wickets in hand. Aussies are playing with their full strength team because Starc and Head got fit before the beginning of the match.

Nathan Lyon took fifer in the first innings as Australia bowled out Sri Lanka for 212. Only Dicwella hit fifty and also he played with good strike rate, other batters were not too impressive. Mitchell Swepson did really well and took 3 wickets by giving 55 runs. 

Australia got good and quick start before losing the wicket of Warner in 10th over on 47. Marnus did not stay for long and departed after scoring 13 runs. Smith was looking good but one mistake by Khawaja caused his run out. 

The 2nd day was affected by the rain and the match continued in 2nd session and Head went quickly. Khawaja played impressive innings of 71 runs and continued his brilliant form. Cameron Green impressed everybody by scoring 77 runs and made a crucial partnership with Alex Carey, who scored 45 in only 47 deliveries.

Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon are unbeaten on the crease and they would look to make the lead of 150 runs or more.
