32 overs are done and dusted here at Canberra after Australia won the toss and decided to bat first in a good pitch to bat on.
Australia could not get into a great start this time as they lost 3 early wickets for just 28 runs due to some exceptional bowling from Sri Lanka's new opening bowling pair Vishwa Fernando and Chamika Karunarathne.
But as usual Sri Lanka could not maintain the necessary pressure and they allowed Joe Burns and Travis Head to free their hands.
Currently the pair at the crease has build 98 runs unbeaten partnership as they have taken Australia to 126 runs for just 3 wickets.
Batsmen at the crease Joe Burns is on 58 now and Travis Head is on 50.
Pitch looks ideal for batsmen after 1 st hour of some assistant for Pacers and we would reckon 350 would be the ideal par score for 1 st inning as it would be much easier to bat on in second and third day here.
