Preview : Cricket Australia is apprehensive about continuing the dominance they had on test cricket, after the big guns hanged their boots.

This is the first test for Aussies after McGrath, Warne & Langer retired.

Srilankan's are a confident bowling team these days, reached the finals of world cup 2007. add Muthiah Muralitharan no-ball episode to it (after which Murali never bowled in test matches in Australia, until now) - and you have a team packed with Jayasuriya fireworks.

Srilankan squad is full of wicket-taking bowlers!

I call winning a test series in Australia as the biggest test award in International cricket, and even Kumar Sangakkara & captain Jayawardene have called to fight till the very end!

Mind you - srilanka have never won a test match in Australia!

Can Srilanka do it this time? or will Australia hold onto their crown of test champions. how Australian crowd will behave when Muralitharan first comes into bowl & what are the chances of yet another 'whitewash' that Aussies are making a habit of?

We'll tell you as the action unfolds. The test match would be starting at 5.30am IST and Srilankan time. Convert time according to your region using timeanddate.com

Tough day at a new office for Srilankans. Electing to field first - Australian (end of Day 1) score of 242 for 3 looks reasonable for the home team, but visitors didn't gave away too much. An Australian runrate of merely 3.18 for the Day 1 (76 overs bowled) shows Lankans also mainatained a good line-length & worked hard.

End of Day 1 scorelines Phil Jaques 100(203, st keeper b Murali), Mathew Hayden 43(63, c Murali b Vaas 'good catch') Ricky Ponting 56(85, st Keeper b Murali) Michael Hussey 28(82, not out) Michael Clarke 5(24, not out) Muthiah Muralitharan 23-3-67-2.

Day 2 starts half an hour early to make up for the time lost due to rain at the start of Day 1. Muralitharan is now only 7 wickets away from breaking Shane Warne's world record.
