SL collapse after Inglis thrashes debut century: 1st Test, Day 2 (Galle)

Opener Usman Khawaja struck a maiden double hundred and debutant Josh Inglis smashed a century against Sri Lanka to power the tourists to a mammoth 654 for six before they declared their first innings at Galle.

Khawaja added another 146 with Inglis to grind the 4 person SL attack. Inglis' 102 was the first century on Test debut by an Australian since Adam Voges in 2015.

in the last hour, Australia fielded brilliantly leaving Sri Lanka 44-3, a massive 610 behind.

Sri Lanka 44 for 3 (Kamindu 13*, Chandimal 9*, Lyon 1-7) trail Australia 654 for 6 dec (Khawaja 232, Smith 141, Inglis 102, Head 57, Vandersay 3-182, Jayasuriya 3-193) by 610 runs.
