Sweet relief: Marnus, cricket world react as Smith snaps 547-day drought with 'authoritative' ton.

“This 28th Test ton has been a long time coming and it means so much to him. His fifth in Asia, second against Sri Lanka, 14th away from home. Labuschagne himself scored a century — his first overseas Test ton — and shared a happy snap of him and Smith on the team bus after the day’s play.

When he pushed the ball off Mendis into the covers and moved to his half-century Smith barely reacted. For the time being he might be getting in the ear of Pat Cummins and trying to ask for more of a bowl following his remarkable 4-10 in the first Test in Galle. His missed chance on Green was not as costly, as the right-hander was trapped in front for four attempting a sweep from Jayasuriya. He finished with a top score of 26 from three Tests, where he was removed three times and finished 11 not out in the second innings of the third Test in Lahore. His century on Friday made it a hat-trick of triple figure scores in Test cricket in which Labuschagne has made the opposition rue a mistake. While Head was phenomenal at the top of the order against the white ball in Pakistan, he missed out against the red ball. That story belonged to Warner on day one of the second Test as he was rocked by Kasun Rajitha in the fifth over for five. While that is not a massive amount of innings, the fact he had gone past 40 in seven of those, but had not made more than his 90 in Rawalpindi, became a cause for concern. Just as he drove audaciously on the up in England in 2019 when he was at his pomp, the right-hander smoked a cover drive to the fence in Galle. If ever there was a more determined look for a man whose position was as safe as houses and in the midst of a series with little fanfare, this was it. The Australian flags waved in the wind, his teammates clapped and reluctantly he walked back down the pitch to shake his partner’s hand before the most modest of raised bats to the pavilion. A week earlier he had walked off the ground furiously at his teammate for robbing his chance of registering another mountain on his batting chart, but there was nothing stopping the 33-year-old from posting his 28th century on Friday.
