Kuhnemann underwent surgery only two weeks ago on a broken right thumb after an injury sustained during the Big Bash League and battled through the match in pain, requiring constant medical attention.

He finished his innings with a masterful 141, while wicketkeeper Josh Inglis hit a century on debut.
Galle will host the second and final match of the series next week before a two-match ODI series in Colombo.&nbsp;

SL vs AUS, Galle Test: Sri Lanka crash to worst defeat as Australia build for WTC final

Sri Lanka batter Dinesh Chandimal joined a rare unfortunate club on Saturday (Feb 1) after he was dismissed twice in the same session during the opening contest against Australia. The rare spectacle happened on Day 4 of the contest as Sri Lanka tried to avoid defeat by an innings in the match. Interestingly, on both occasions, Nathan Lyon was the architect-in-chief for the Sri Lanka batter&rsquo;s downfall.<o:p></o:p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Chandimal was dismissed twice in the same sessions<o:p></o:p></h2>
Playing on Day 4 of the match, Chandimal was the lone fighter for Sri Lanka in the first innings as he scored 72 off 139. However, chasing Australia&rsquo;s mammoth 654 runs in the first innings, the Lankan side showed little resistance and were bowled out for 165. The veteran batter was dismissed on the second ball of the 50th over before the hosts were bundled out. <o:p></o:p>
Having been bowled out for 165, Australia captain Steve Smith decided to inflict a follow-on Sri Lanka as they had a lead of 489 runs. Asked to bat for the second time in the match, Sri Lanka had a disastrous start to their innings as they lost Oshada Fernando (6) and Dimuth Karunaratne (0) in the opening two overs.

Unfortunately for Chandimal, he was dismissed for the second time when the team score was 75. This meant he was dismissed for the second time in the same session. Sri Lanka would then lose their path having lost wickets at consistent intervals. <o:p></o:p>
At the time of writing Sri Lanka were 192/8 in their second innings with Jeffrey Vandersay (4) and Nishan Peiris (0) in the middle. The hosts still trail by 297 runs in the second innings with two wickets in hand. Currently, Australia look en route to one of the biggest Test wins in the red-ball format.

The break was called early and players were kept off the pitch through the afternoon, with officials calling an end 90 minutes before the scheduled finish.

SL vs AUS, Galle Test: Rain plays spoilsport as Australia tighten grip with flawless bowling display

Australia had Sri Lanka three down after opener Usman Khawaja's first double century and a ton on debut by Josh Inglis helped the tourists to declare at 654-6 in the first match on Thursday.
<h2>Josh Inglis stars for Australia</h2>
Sri Lanka were 44-3 by stumps on day two at Galle with senior batsmen Dinesh Chandimal on nine and Kamindu Mendis on 13 when rain stopped play.
Left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann struck first to have Oshada Fernando out lbw, and soon pace spearhead Mitchell Starc got Dimuth Karunaratne caught at gully. Both batsmen made seven.
Veteran spinner Nathan Lyon then sent back former skipper Angelo Mathews out for eight as Travis Head took a diving catch at short leg.
Khawaja's 266-run third-wicket partnership with Steve Smith, who hit 141 in a landmark innings that got the stand-in skipper to 10,000 Test runs, stood out after Australia elected to bat first at the start of the two-match series.
It was the first time the tourists had breached the 600-run mark in Sri Lanka, surpassing their previous Asian high of 617, posted in Pakistan in 1980.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey was unbeaten on 46 with Mitchell Starc on 19 when Smith declared the first innings in the final session.
Inglis made it count when he walked in after Smith departed on 141.
He made 102 and with Khawaja kept up the batting surge in a 146-run stand to tire out the opposition attack.
Spinner Prabath Jayasuriya broke the partnership to get Khawaja caught behind as the opener walked back after 352 balls that included 16 fours and one six.
Inglis jumped in delight and punched the air as he reached his ton off 90 balls.
But he got out in the next over as he gave away a catch to short cover off Jayasuriya.

Jayasuriya and fellow spinner Jeffrey Vandersay took three wickets each as Sri Lanka toiled for 154 overs.
The tourists resumed on 330-2 as overnight batsmen Khawaja and Smith frustrated the opposition attack on a sunny morning.
Khawaja took a single off Jayasuriya to reach 200 as he removed his helmet, raised his bat, and dropped down to kiss the turf while teammates and fans stood up to applaud.
His previous best was an unbeaten 195 against South Africa in 2023 at Sydney, and he is now the first Australian batsman to make a double ton in Sri Lanka.

SL vs AUS, Galle Test: Sri Lanka lose three quick wickets after Australia declare on 654-6

Australia&rsquo;s Travis Head is all set to return to the opener&rsquo;s position as they take on Sri Lanka in the opening match of the two-match Test series starting Wednesday (Jan 29). Head, who played a pivotal role in Australia&rsquo;s 3-1 series win over India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy recently, will open alongside Usman Khawaja. The decision comes on the eve of the opening contest in the two-match series which will start on Wednesday at the Galle International Stadium in Galle. <o:p></o:p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Travis Head to open alongside Khawaja<o:p></o:p></h2>
"Trav will go to the top, outside of that I think it will be pretty stable," Australia skipper Steve Smith told reporters prior to Australia's final pre-Test training session.<o:p></o:p>
"I don't see it being a great deal of change from that.<o:p></o:p>
"The selectors liked what they saw in India when he (Head) had that opportunity.<o:p></o:p>
"He got after the new ball, scored quickly and put the pressure on them straight away so I guess similar thinking here."<o:p></o:p>
Head&rsquo;s promotion up the order could mean Sam Konstas and Nathan McSweeney might miss the contest against Sri Lanka. The former was impressive in his two outings against India while McSweeney failed to make the most of his opportunities in the same series.

One of the reasons for Head&rsquo;s promotion up the order could be influenced by World Test Championship (WTC) final preparations. The Aussie batter has excelled in his role as opener in the ODI and T20I format and could replicate the same in Test format.
