The second Test match between Sri Lanka and Australia is being played in Gaul. On the second day, Australia's team landed for batting. During this, he lost 3 wickets on the score of 91 runs. Then the Kangaroo team sent its wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carrie for batting. For this, Carrie faced 111 balls. Along with this, Carrie has also ended the 21 years of drought in Sri Lanka. Actually, he has become the first Australian wicketkeeper to score a century in Sri Lanka after 2004. The last time this feat was done by Adam Gilchrist.

The Gaul Test between Sri Lanka and Australia started on Thursday 6 February.

The Sri Lankan team scored 257 runs while batting first. After this, the Kangaroo team started batting on the second day but lost 3 wickets on the score of 91 runs and got caught in trouble. Then Alex Carry landed for batting at number 5 to support Steve Smith. He was given this responsibility for the first time on this number in Test career. In the first time, he got his batting ironed by hitting a century.

Earlier at number 5, Travis Head used to come for batting, who are opening in this series.

Carrie was sent to number 6 or 7. However, the batting position did not affect Carrie. Rather, he continued the work of the head famous for stormy batting. He took the first innings, then started scoring runs fast and scored a century in just 111 balls. Let me tell you that this is the second century of his Test career.
