Live: Australia hands out fourth debut in last four men’s Tests

Cooper Connolly will replace Todd Murphy in Australia’s line-up, with Steve Smith confirming the team change at the coin toss.

That is the only change Australia has made, meaning Marnus Labuschagne survives the axe once again. He’ll be desperate to make some runs here.

Connolly’s inclusion means Beau Webster will be relied upon to bowl more in this Test match, given Australia is going in a bowler short.

Here is the full Australian XI for the second Test:

1. Usman Khawaja, 2. Travis Head, 3. Marnus Labuschagne, 4. Steve Smith (C), 5. Josh Inglis, 6. Alex Carey (WK), 7. Beau Webster, 8. Cooper Connolly, 9. Mitchell Starc, 10. Nathan Lyon, 11. Matthew Kuhnemann.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka has made three changes to its line-up from the first Test.

Pathum Nissanka, Lahiru Kumara and Ramesh Mendis are all inclusions replacing Oshada Fernando, Asitha Fernando and Jeffrey Vandersay.

Remarkable that Nishan Peiris has kept his spot ahead of Vandersay, who looked better with the ball and scored a half-century with the bat.

Then again, they’ve recalled Ramesh from the absolute outer, who they decided wasn’t fit for Test cricket just months ago. Go figure.

I do like the inclusion of Kumara for Asitha, with his extra pace a handy asset on docile pitches.

Here is the full Sri Lankan XI for the second Test:

1. Dimuth Karunaratne, 2. Pathum Nissanka, 3. Dinesh Chandimal, 4. Angelo Mathews, 5. Kamindu Mendis, 6. Dhananjaya de Silva (C), 7. Kusal Mendis (WK), 8. Ramesh Mendis, 9 Prabath Jayasuriya, 10. Nishan Peiris, 11. Lahiru Kumara
