What to expect:
Considering the National Stadium is nestled between two mounts, each of which are resplendent with lush green rainforests, the surface in the middle of the ground stands out even more starkly. For, it looks bone dry, save for a smattering of green grass just rolled in. With the sun baking down on it already, and expected to do so even more over the next few days, it's expected to dry up further and then start to break up late in the piece with the cracks coming into play. Chances are that this Test might not be played on fast forward like last week and might be more of a slow burn.

Cummins spoke about how lovely the people have been here, including the chef at his hotel talking about how he cooked fish for Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden back in 2007, when they were part of Australia's World Cup winning team.

Shamar Joseph to Sam Konstas, FOUR, short and punished! Picks the length early, rocks back in the crease and pulls this away towards deep square leg. One bounce and over the fence

Alzarri Joseph to Khawaja, out Lbw!! Alzarri Joseph draws first blood! Back of a length delivery from round the wicket with some extra bounce and the batsman gets beaten due to the movement. Struck on the pads and the replays confirm there was no bat involved. Impact's in line and it's clipping the top of middle and leg. The onfield decision stays and Khawaja will have to walk back to the pavilion. Australia will retain the review though as it was umpire's call.

Khawaja lbw b Alzarri Joseph 16(29) [4s-2]

Anderson Phillip to Sam Konstas, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Edged and taken! This was always on the cards. He survived several times before, but this one had his name written on it. Anderson Phillip goes full outside off and the ball nips away sharply. Sam Konstas goes for a drive away from his body and the outside edge has been taken by the keeper. Both the openers have been dismissed in back-to-back overs. \

Sam Konstas c Shai Hope b Anderson Phillip 25(37) [4s-4]

Alzarri Joseph to Smith, out Caught by Anderson Phillip!! Did that distraction break his concentration? Smith has holed out to long leg and Australia have lost three on the bounce - banged in short and at the stumps, Smith shuffled across and was looking to use Joseph's pace on the pull, he doesn't get on top of the bounce, a masive top-edge is found and Phillip has plenty of time to settle under it - he keeps calm and completes a fine catch.

Smith c Anderson Phillip b Alzarri Joseph 3(6)
