Australia v Sri Lanka first Test, day one AS IT HAPPENED: Play abandoned due to rain as Australia dominate in ruthless start

Thanks for tuning into Wide World of Sports' LIVE coverage of day one of the first Test between Australia and Sri Lanka.

We'll be back tomorrow!

With the covers on and the rain at Galle, stumps have been called with play abandoned.

Play will start 15 minutes earlier tomorrow.

It's raining in Galle!

So the covers are coming on.

Australia are in full control as the two centurions leave the field.

"Perfect day for Australia, winning the toss and batting first and then getting the job done," Simon Katich said on 7.

The new ball has been taken!

That's the only change because the negative fields are still here.

Jayasuriya bowling with just two close to the bat.

That's 35 Test hundreds for Steve Smith.

It comes with a three through cover.

Just remember Jayasuriya dropped Smith on 1.

"Superb knock, superb batting ... it's been effortless, he's done it so easily, hardly been challenged at all apart from that drop catch straight away which should've been taken by the way, that was an easy return catch," Ricky Ponting said on 7.

"Ominous signs for the series," Trent Copeland added.

What a time to be captain of Australia.

He's not far away now.

Steve Smith is three runs away from a century.

He's really motored along in the last few overs.

Bit of promise for Sri Lanka here.

Leg-spinner Vandersay is looking the most dangerous and managed to get one to really spin off the pitch to Khawaja.

If there was a mid-off, he'd have been gone but nonetheless he's still out there.

"I've been impressed with Vandersay," Greg Blewett said on 7.

Now we don't want to put the jinx on Steve Smith here.

But if, IF, he scores a century. It'll make it 35 for his career.

He's currently on 34, equal with a number of big names.

Those names are Younis Khan, Sunil Gavaskar, Brian Lara and Mahela Jayawardene.

Smith currently on 71 but with the tactics of Sri Lanka's bowling, it might not happen tonight.

Galle definitely has one of the most picturesque grounds in the world.

It's been mentioned a few times on the broadcast that this is where Shane Warne claimed his 500th wicket.

Now this picture, with the great man in the background, is just a thing of beauty.

To both Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith, Sri Lanka do not have a single fielder in close on the offside.

"Really strange field," Trent Copeland said on 7.

Looks like Sri Lanka aren't coming out of the tea break with a lot of intent.

It's 2/265 after the first over.
