Highlights: Australia vs Sri Lanka – First Test, Day One – Tea

Australia managed to reach 193 for three at Tea on the first day of the first Test against Sri Lanka at Hobart on Friday.

Skipper Mahela Jayawardene pulled off a spectacular flying catch to claw Sri Lanka back into contention on the opening day of the first  Test against Australia in Hobart.

The Sri Lankans were up against it after losing the toss when Jayawardene latched on to a magnificent one-handed catch at second slip to dismiss Shane Watson for 30 nearing tea.

Australia looked to be working themselves into a powerful position before Jayawardene's screamer off Chanaka Welegedara to give the Sri Lankans some heart on a largely fruitless first day.
