Steve Smith 'absolutely furious' with teammate after mix-up in first Test vs Sri Lanka

Former Australian skipper Steve Smith was left seeing red after a monumental blunder sent him packing in Sri Lanka.

Day one of the opening Test has come to an end with Australia holding a commanding position over Sri Lanka.

Nathan Lyon and Mitch Swepson did the damage with the ball in the first half of the day after Sri Lankan captain Dimuth Karunaratne won the toss and chose to bat.

The spin duo combined for eight wickets as the first innings for Sri Lanka ended with only 212 runs on the board.

The Aussies got off to a solid start with the bat before they threw away wickets late in the day with Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith being dismissed cheaply.

Smith was seething after he was left stranded in the middle of the pitch following a disastrous mix-up with Usman Khawaja. The day finished with the Aussies sitting at 3/98.
