Nitish Kumar Reddy is introduced into the attack. Head greets him with yet another boundary, continuing his trend of finding the ropes every over. A rare mistimed shot follows, but he rotates the strike with a single, bringing Smith on. Smith joins the act, smashing a boundary of his own. 9 runs come off the over, and after 66 overs, Australia are 214-3.
Another change in bowling as Bumrah returns. A rare dot ball for Head starts the over, but he quickly resumes his aggression with a boundary. Head, unfazed by any notion of nervous 90s, races to 98 with a length delivery on middle earning him a single. Smith then drives to mid-on for no run but follows up with a well-placed shot for three runs. A dot ball ends the over. 8 runs come off it, and after 67 overs, Australia are 222-3.
