Fresh off a double hundred in the first test, Usman Khawaja has once again underlined why he is Australia’s finest batsman in Asian conditions as he led the tourists past an early wobble to reach 85-2 at lunch on Day 2 of the second test against Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka got a couple of early wickets of Head and Labuschagne, before Smith and Khawaja reconstructed the innings. However, SL got the big wicket of Khawaja just after the lunch break.

Former Sri Lanka test skipper Dimuth Karunaratne will retire from the format after his 100th match, the final test of Sri Lanka's two-test series against Australia in Galle on Thursday.
