Sri Lanka scored 9-229 on Day One against Australia, with Dinesh Chandimal leading the batting effort.

Sri Lanka ended the first day of the second Test against Australia at Galle with a score of 9-229 after opting to bat first. The much-anticipated spin-friendly pitch did not fully reveal its challenging nature on the opening day, but conditions are expected to deteriorate as the match progresses. Sri Lanka`s batting was characterized by several collapses, particularly after lunch and with the introduction of the second new ball, leading to the loss of crucial wickets.

Dinesh Chandimal emerged as a standout performer for Sri Lanka, scoring 74 runs, while Kusal Mendis contributed an unbeaten 59. The lower-order batting was bolstered by the inclusion of off-spinner Ramesh Mendis, who replaced leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay, adding depth to the batting lineup. Australia`s bowling attack was spearheaded by Nathan Lyon, who took 3 wickets for 78 runs, and Matthew Kuhnemann, who claimed 2 for 53. Mitchell Starc also made significant contributions, particularly with reverse swing, taking 1 for 2 in a remarkable five-over spell.

The day was marked by Steve Smith setting a new record for the most catches by an Australian fielder in Test history, surpassing Ricky Ponting`s previous record of 197 catches. Australia’s strategy included utilizing part-time bowler Travis Head, who bowled more overs than the allrounders combined, indicating a focus on strengthening the lower-order batting on a challenging pitch.

The Galle pitch, described as dry and full of cracks, is expected to break up further, making batting increasingly difficult. Australia’s assistant coach Daniel Vettori noted that the pitch`s dryness and the emergence of footmarks suggest significant turn is likely, complicating batting as the match unfolds. This Test is part of the Warne-Muralitharan Trophy series, with Australia having won the first Test by an innings and 242 runs. The second Test continues from February 6-10, with Sri Lanka looking to bounce back from their heavy defeat in the first Test.
