Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score: Australia captain Steve Smith won the toss and opted to bat first, with Josh Inglis making his Test debut.

Australia are already through to the World Test Championship final and the result in this series is inconsequential in that context. The Aussies will take on South Africa in the WTC final in June this year at Lord’s.

However, it’s a big day for Josh Inglis who has received his baggy green and will be making his Test debut.

Sri Lanka had an opportunity to reach the WTC final if they had secured victory in either of their two Test matches against South Africa in the previous year. However, following their inability to achieve this, Sri Lanka’s best possible outcome now is to secure the position immediately after the finalists, Australia and South Africa.

To accomplish this, they must achieve a clean sweep with a 2-0 series victory.
