Australia continued to dominate on day three of the second Test in Galle against Sri Lanka. Steve Smith and Alex Carey put on a masterclass with their centuries, leading Australia to a 73-run lead with seven wickets still in hand.

The match has seen some key moments, including near misses and dismissals. Sri Lanka will be looking to capitalize on any opportunities that come their way as they aim to get back into the game.
As the day progresses, both teams will be looking to make the most of their opportunities and push for a result in what promises to be an exciting day of Test cricket in Galle.
