In cricket, Usman Khawaja stroked a fine century and steered Australia into a massive lead over Sri Lanka in the second Test at Canberra today. At stumps, the visitors were 17 without loss, chasing a huge 516 to win with two days remaining.
 
Earlier, Tim Paine declared Australia's second innings at 196 for three. Sri Lanka had resumed the third day at 123 for three and in a hostile morning session lost four wickets and Kusal Perera, who retired after being hit on the head by a bouncer. Australia won the first Test in Brisbane by an innings and 40 runs.
