2nd Test: Kuhnemann, Lyon Weave Magic To Hand Australia A Massive Advantage On Day 3
Starting the day at 330-3, leading by 73 runs, after an unbroken 239-run stand between Steve Smith (131) and Alex Carey (156), exceptional bowling by Prabath Jayasuriya (5-151) and Nishan Peiris (3-94) triggered a late innings collapse for the visitors and restricted them to 414 all out by lunch.
The first wicket of the day came when Smith edged Jayasuriya’s ball, which was directed towards the off stump, and saw wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis take an easy catch.
