Left-armer Kuhnemann, who took 16 wickets as Steve Smith's men swept the two-Test series this month, will have to undertake mandatory testing to determine whether his action is legal.

With Sri Lanka leading by only 54 runs, Steve Smith's side will be eager to mop up the tail early Sunday and seal a 2-0 sweep.

Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon took three wickets apiece.

Former Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne has announced his decision to retire from international cricket following the second Test against Australia in Galle, set to begin on Thursday.

Australia are not yet a great team but completing a series sweep in Sri Lanka would push them closer, according to spin bowler Nathan Lyon.

Travis Head will replace Sam Konstas as Usman Khawaja's opening partner in the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle on Wednesday, Australia's stand-in captain Steve Smith said on the eve of the match.

The first Test will begin on Jan. 29 and the second will commence on Feb. 6. The teams will also meet in a One-Day International on Feb. 13 at an as yet unnamed venue.

Dinesh Chandimal's double century and bowling heroics by debutant Prabhat Jayasuriya led Sri Lanka to a series-levelling win over Australia on Monday in a second Test affected by protests and Covid.

Prabath Jayasuriya claimed 12 wickets in his dream debut and Dinesh Chandimal smashed his maiden double hundred to secure Sri Lanka's memorable series-levelling victory in the second Test against Australia on Monday.

Dinesh Chandimal smashed 118 not out and Kamindu Mendis produced a half-century in his debut test to help Sri Lanka eclipse Australia's first innings 364 on day three of the second Test in Galle on Sunday.
