Australia got off to a good start managing to score 97 runs losing two wickets at Lunch on Day One of the first Test against Sri Lanka at Hobart on Friday.

The Australians were sailing along without too many problems after winning the toss before Warner was out for 57 in a communication breakdown with Phil Hughes four balls before the break.

At lunch, Australia were 97 for two with recalled Hughes, batting at three, not out 27, with Shane Watson next in after the interval.

Up until Warner's dismissal, the home side had few concerns despite losing the wicket of Ed Cowan on a greenish wicket which was beginning to play more evenly.
