Much better effort from SL batters in their 2nd dig, first inns shocker will probably stuff up their chances for a win though.

AUSTRALIA FIGHT BACK​

Australia have fought back bravely in the 1st Test against Sri Lanka. At Lunch today, Sri Lanka were 1/184 but during that session Australia fought back with 3 quick wickets at the end of the session. Tharanga was the first to go when he fell to a Tait yorker for a magnificent 137. Shortly after that Jayawardene fell to Cullen when he skied a catch to mid-on. In the next over Samaraweera fell for a duck when he was trapped LBW by Brett Lee. Snangakkara is still there on 106 not out​

Stuart Clark celebrates the wicket of Jayawardene​

Australia's quicks are doing the damage, Clark, Lee and Tait. Now i wonder what they spinners will produce.

 

[Roofrom50]

Also maybe a suggestion. Make the text a little bit bigger, maybe size 3 would be good, thats what i use for my story, and its easy to read and i think i looks a hell of a lot better

Go Cullen, easy win for the Aussies

 

[Roofrom50]

Great bowling from Cullen, but it was Lee that really set up Aussies

 

[Left_Hander]

Good work by Cullen.

I would probably encourage you to make the font bigger and also it gets a little bit annyoing everytime a player has a picture the caption is "Player X in action". Just thought I would let you know.
