PALLEKELE, Sri Lanka -- Facing a deficit of 86 runs, Sri Lanka reached 6-1 in its second innings in the first test against Australia before persistent rain brought play to an early close on Wednesday. Ty Montgomery Jersey .Australia made an early breakthrough when Kusal Perera, promoted to opener in place of regular Dimuth Karunaratne, was trapped lbw by fast bowler Mitchell Starc for four.An early tea was taken shortly after, but no more play was possible -- meaning that more than two full sessions of the match have already been lost due to rain.Earlier, spinners Rangana Herath and Lakshan Sandakan took four wickets each as Sri Lanka -- having scored a lowly 117 after electing to bat first -- dismissed Australia for 203 in its first innings.Adam Voges, who top scored for Australia with a watchful 47 off 115 balls featuring only three boundaries, thinks Australia fell a bit short.We felt if we had one or two good partnerships we would have probably got a 100-plus lead, Voges said. A little bit of missed opportunity there. We know in these conditions you need to get bigger scores and big partnerships.But Australia could not get on top for long enough spells against Sri Lankas new-look spin attack.Having bowled out opener Joe Burns for three runs on the first day, Herath continued his good form on Wednesday by claiming the prize wickets of captain Steve Smith (30) and Usman Khawaja (26) before snaring Peter Nevill (2) to finish with 4-49.Sandakan clean bowled Mitchell Marsh for his first test wicket and had an impressive return of 4-58 from 21.2 overs on his debut.Any bowlers confidence improves when the batsmen continue to get beaten, the 25-year-old Sandakan said. Thats when I felt that I could do my part as a pair with Rangana.On a difficult pitch, and with Australia resuming on the second morning at 66-2, Herath had Smith stumped and then trapped Khawaja lbw as Australia slipped to 70-4.But Australia recovered thanks to 60-run partnership between Voges and Mitchell Marsh, which was broken when left-arm wrist spinner Sandakan bowled right-hander Marsh with a straighter delivery for 31.Herath struck again shortly after by having Nevill caught by Kusal Perera to leave Australia on 137-6.Voges continued to defy Sri Lanka but his resistance ended when he was caught at slip by Kusal Mendis off seamer Nuwan Pradeep -- who had removed opener David Warner for a duck on the first day -- leaving the visitors on 160-7.Sandakan cleaned up the tail, but met resistance from fellow spinner Nathan Lyon, who scored a breezy 17 before Sandakan got him lbw. Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey . Malkin got tangled up with Detroits Luke Glendening early in the third period and his left skate took the brunt of collision with the boards behind Pittsburghs net. Martellus Bennett Jersey . -- Hunter Smith scored the winner with just 12 seconds remaining in the third period as the Oshawa Generals edged the host Sarnia Sting 5-4 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. www.authenticfootballshoppackers.com/Black-Friday-Reggie-White-Jersey/ . Now tied for second in the league in shootout goals, the 24-year-old likes to see what the opposing goaltender has in store before he ultimately lands on a move. New South Wales Blues 1. James Tedesco - 7 - Went into the game under pressure but responded with a positive debut and will be hard to remove from the Blues number one jersey next year.?2. Blake Ferguson - 6 - His best game of the series. Always looked to get more involved than first two games.3. Michael Jennings - 6?- Jet-boot Jennings looked like he had run out of fuel until the 79th minute when the afterburners kicked in for the match-winning try.4. Josh Dugan - 6 - Was solid in his first game of this years series and had a busy night trying to contain Greg Inglis until departing with injury.5. Josh Mansour - 5?- Put his hand up for some strong runs but a dreadful error 5 minutes from full-time gifted Queensland the lead.14. Matt Moylan - 6?- Played out of position at five-eighth and was uncomfortable early but improved as game went on.6. James Maloney - 8 - Another excellent contribution. Has been one of the Blues best this series and was again in game three.8. Aaron Woods - 8 - Tough game and never shirked his duty of taking on the Queensland pack.9. Robbie Farah - 6?- Tried hard but doesnt seem to have the spark he once had.10. Paul Gallen - 7?-?Another tradesman-like performance from the retiring skipper - a performance that typified his Origin career - iced with the final conversion.11. Wade Graham - 7?- Scored New South Wales first try but was guilty of going missing at times.12. Josh Jackson - 7 - Tireless in defence and always willing to cart the ball up in attack.13. Tyson Frizell - 8 - It is clear from his two Origin games that he is made for this arena. Another strong contribution capped with his second Blues try.?Interchange: 6. Jack Bird - 5 - Was injected late in the match and failed to have much impact. 15. James Tamou - 6?- Added little off the bench and was guilty of a soft turnover of possession at a crucial period in the first half.16. David Klemmer - 6 - Regularly bent the line with some strong runs and provided some intimidation for the Blues. 17. Andrew Fifita - 6 - Provided some impetus for the Blues with his first Origin try but his good work was overshadowed by a brain explosion that saw him got to the sin-bin. Clay Matthews Jersey. ?Queensland Maroons 1. Darius Boyd - 7?- Organised the Queensland defence superbly and was regularly a threat with ball in hand.2. Corey Oates - 6- Made some strong hit ups to help the forwards but largely anonymous.3. Greg Inglis - 7?- Put in a busy shift but after scoring the opening try most of his night was spent defending.4. Justin ONeill - 5 - Did nothing wrong but didnt have much opportunity to either.5. Dane Gagai - 5 - Did receive the service or the freedom he had in game two and struggled to get involved.6. Johnathan Thurston - 7?- Was well contained in the first half but still made the Blues nervous when he was near the ball.7. Cooper Cronk - 6?- Offered little and off his game - spent time in sin-bin for professional foul.8. Matt Scott - 8?- Met the Blues front-on and rarely took a backward step. Bruising effort from one of the games best props.9. Cameron Smith - 7 - At his niggly, scheming and manipulating best - played a major role in everything Queensland did.10. Nate Myles - 6?- Failed to provide much impact but was a strong effort just to be out there after missing game two with a knee injury that threatened to end his season.11. Matt Gillett - 7?- Took on a heavy defensive workload and was hard to handle with the ball. This series has been the making of him at Origin level.12. Sam Thaiday - 6 - Worked hard in defence and carried the ball up strongly but became most involved when there was a potential flare-up.13. Corey Parker - 7 - His final Origin game was exactly like his previous 18 appearances - tough and uncompromising.Interchange: 14. Gavin Cooper - 7 - His first real Origin involvement resulted in a try on debut.15. Josh McGuire - 7 - Did his job with a minimum of fuss and maximum effort. 16. Aidan Guerra - 5 - Highlights were few and far between and his job seemed to be to just come off the bench to give team mates a rest. 17. Jacob Lillyman - 7 - Rolled the sleeves up and put in a strong shift in defence when Queensland were really under the pump.
