Steve Smith Equals Rahul Dravid, Joe Root In List Of Elite Test Batters

Australian batting stalwart Steve Smith registered his 36th Test century on day 2 of the second Test against Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium on Friday. With this century, Smith has now equalled the legendary Rahul Dravid and England's Joe Root in the list of most Test centuries, making him the joint-fifth highest century-maker in Test history. Smith, leading Australia in the absence of Pat Cummins, played a captain's knock, anchoring the innings after the visitors suffered early blows. Walking in at 37/2, following the dismissals of Travis Head (21) and Marnus Labuschagne (4), Smith faced immediate pressure but remained unfazed. He survived a close lbw appeal on the first ball, as the Sri Lankan review revealed the ball was missing the stumps.

Australia In Driving Seat vs Sri Lanka In 2nd Test, Reduce Hosts To 229/9 On Day 1

Australia were firmly in the driving seat despite a spirited Sri Lankan fightback to reach 229-9 at stumps on day one of the second Test in Galle on Thursday. Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon took three wickets apiece. Sri Lanka, who won the toss and opted to bat, had looked to be in control at 93-1 -- putting behind them the loss of the first Test by an innings and 242 runs last week. But Dimuth Karunaratne -- in his 100th and final Test -- was slow to bring his bat down, dragging a ball from Lyon on to his stumps for 36 and handing Australia a crucial breakthrough. The hosts soon nosedived to 127-5 during a chaotic hour that left Sri Lanka reeling.
