Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey surpassed the legendary Adam Gilchrist to set a new all-time record for an Australian wicketkeeper in Asian conditions during the AUS vs SL 2nd Test in Galle.

Australia is edging towards a 2-0 series sweep over Sri Lanka after Alex Carey's breathtaking century propelled the visitors into a formidable position in the second test.

Sri Lanka's second innings has made 211/8 with Kusal Mendis still batting on 48. Matthew Kuhnemann and Nathan Lyon took four and three wickets respectively. Now, Sri Lanka need to post a big total to allow themselves into the game.
