Australia completely dominated the day as Alex Carey and Steve Smith put Australia in the driver바카라�s seat at Stumps on Day 2 at the Galle International Stadium in Galle.

The Galle surface offered slow turn, but Australia tackled it to perfection as Smith ended the day unbeaten on 120, while Carey finished 139 not out.
