Australia resumed their first innings at 60 without loss with Shane http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Phillip-Hughes-c2185 not out at 23. The visitors lost both the openers in the first hour of the day. Watson failed to add even a single run to his overnight score and

overnight score of 23.
Hughe’s departure took skipper Michael http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397 at
the second slip, leaving Australia 116 for 3.
Rain also played its part as the play was stopped for some time after Clarke’s dismissal due to a drizzle. It was only a passing shower and the game was soon resumed.
Earlier, Sri Lankan batsman once again failed to counter the Ryan Harris-led Australian attack as the whole team was bundled out for just 174 in their first innings. Only http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779 showed some courage. Mathews
scored the lone half-century of the innings, plundering six muscular boundaries and three lofty sixes in his valiant 58. However, Sangakkara fell two runs short of a fighting half century.
