09:30 Local Time, 04:00 GMT, 09:30 IST: Sri Lanka won a big toss in Galle, but it was Australia who were the happier side when stumps were drawn on the first day. At 229 for 9, the hosts haven't made most of what many consider as a big toss to win, but they aren't completely out of it as yet. Dinesh Chandimal made a fighting 74 and Kusal Mendis is still fighting on, but it was a day of missed opportunities for the hosts. A few players got started, but failed to make anything substantial. Not to take away anything from the visitors - they bowled with discipline and took all the chances on offer. Can they press on today and push themselves to a good position?
We'll know more about how good a score this is when Australia get their turn with the bat. Do join us tomorrow for more. Until then, it's goodbye.
Lyon: Good day of Test cricket. Challenging conditions with the heat and humidity. Proud of all the bowler's efforts, especially Kuhnemann and Starc on that surface. Pretty happy with how things went. Will let that one sink in overnight. Have had my fair share of hard times in the subcontinent. So to tick off 150 is special. Pitch is drier than last week.
17:21 Local Time, 11:51 GMT, 17:21 IST: Stumps on Day 1! Another day that has belonged to Australia on this tour.
