Bumrah continues. Head defends the first ball, then slams a boundary. He plays towards fine leg for a single. Smith blocks the next few deliveries. 5 runs come off it, and after 48 overs, Australia are 121-3.

Jadeja is brought into the attack. Head flicks for a couple, defends the next two, and then slams a boundary. The 50-run partnership between Head and Smith is up. 6 runs come off it, and after 49 overs, Australia are 127-3.

Akash Deep continues. He starts with a dot ball. Smith slams a boundary. Theres a loud shout for LBW, but the umpire isn't interested. Another appeal follows, and this time India reviews. Ball-tracking shows the ball was missing leg stump by a long way. 4 runs come off the over, and after 50 overs, Australia are 131-3.
