Aussie opener Usman Khawaja struck his maiden double hundred in Test cricket on day two of the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle.

He got there with a single off Prabath Jayasuriya. He is the first Australian to score a double century in Asia since Jason Gillespie’s 201 against Bangladesh.

Before him, only a handful of Australians had achieved this feat: Matthew Hayden (201* vs. India in Chennai, 2001), Dean Jones (210 vs. India in the iconic 1986 Madras tied Test), Greg Chappell (235 vs. Pakistan in Faisalabad, 1980), and Mark Taylor (334* vs. Pakistan in Peshawar, 1998).
