Scorecard
Usman Khawaja found some form ahead of his maiden Test tour as Australia A earned a six-run lead over Sri Lanka A on the first day in Townsville. Khawaja, who was picked in the national squad on Tuesday, finished unbeaten on 47 in an impressive display after the visitors were knocked over before tea for 78.
Peter George, the South Australia fast man, was again the main problem for Sri Lanka A, who were unable to get going in the second four-day match of the tour. George collected five wickets to help wrap up the first game in Brisbane and backed up with 4 for 13 off 9.3 overs.
Sri Lanka were 3 for 28 after George's opening breakthroughs and Ben Hilfenhaus, who is going to England with Khawaja on Friday, then chipped in with the wicket of the captain Kaushal Silva for 6. Andrew McDonald (3 for 17) and James Pattinson (2 for 17) then stepped in to cause more damage before George returned to finish off the innings.
The hosts suffered an early setback when Michael Klinger was undone by Nuwan Pradeep in the third over, but Khawaja and Ed Cowan guided them safely to stumps. Cowan was not out on 34 as they reached the comfort of 1 for 84.
