Marnus Labuschagne should be sent back to Australia for a spell if he misses selection for the first Test in the West Indies according to former Test opener Greg Blewett, who is also pushing for Josh Inglis to bat at No. 3 in a revamped Aussie batting line-up.

Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya repeatedly bowled outside the line of leg stump only for Smith to pad the ball away during a stretch of play during the final session of day one. But Aussie skipper Smith said he understood why the Sri Lankans had chosen that tactic, even if they had left themselves open to being warned by the umpires.
