29th over: Australia 67-3 (Labuschagne 27, Head 5) Ashwin to continue with the Great Southern Stand behind him. Why not, he might bowl all day. Around the wicket to the right-hander, which is how he trapped Labuschagne before the break, only to have the third umpire loosen the snare. That did involve a poor shot from Labuschagne, a kind of stabbed sweep shot without getting low enough, and he’s a fast learner. He plays out the current over safely. 2.15am GMT
28th over: Australia 67-3 (Labuschagne 27, Head 5) After a session and a lunch break to think about, we’ll finally see some bowling from Mohammed Siraj. He’s tall, slender, an elegant mover. Bearing his preferred topknot today. He hits a good length outside Head’s off stump in the high 130s to start with. Just a pressed single from his first five balls, after which Labuschagne glances another.
