After what was a batting collapse on Day 2 for Sri Lanka, the home side will be looking to pose a better answer in front of the Australia bowling attack featuring the likes of Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon.

Australia are coming off a really strong Test match series victory over India, so they'll be confident of keeping the good times going in Sri Lanka. Of course, playing away from home is always a challenge.

Australia and Sri Lanka face off in the first Test at Galle. Live streaming available on SonyLiv, FanCode, and other platforms. Key players include Smith, Mendis, and Starc.

Here is the live streaming information and squads ahead of the first Test between Sri Lanka and Australia, which begins from January 29 in Galle.

Sri Lanka and Australia will lock horns in a two-match series starting January 29 at Galle International Stadium. Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood will miss the series while Sri Lanka will be hoping to clinch the series after a terrific 2024.

Australia have already qualified for the World Test Championship final, hence the series might not have much significance more than a dead rubber in a larger context but Sri Lanka have an opportunity to finish the current cyle at No 3 position,
