He defends the next ball and then plays towards long-on for a single. Smith defends the last ball of the over. 9 runs come off it, and after 55 overs, Australia are 153-3.

A ring of boos echoes around the ground as Siraj comes in to bowl. Head takes two runs, bringing up his half-century, continuing his fine form from Adelaide. The crowd applauds enthusiastically. Head defends the next ball and then gets an easy single. With gaps in the field, both Head and Smith rotate the strike efficiently. 5 runs come off the over, and after 56 overs, Australia are 158-3.
