1st Test: Australia reach 76-2 at lunch
Galle: Rangana Herath and Suranga Lakmal dismissed Australia's openers to give Sri Lanka a promising start in the first Test, as the visitors went into lunch on the opening day at 76-2.

Australia's captain Michael Clarke won the toss and elected to bat first in a match delayed by one hour because of morning rain.
Left-arm spinner Herath took a wicket with his first ball having Shane Watson caught by wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene for 22.
Lakmal then surprised Phil Hughes with a rising ball that went for an easy catch to Tharanga Paranavitana at first slip. Hughes made 12.
New Australia Test captain Clarke then combined with his predecessor Ricky Ponting for a 40-run partnership up to lunch.
