Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. At the end of the first day’s play Usman Khawaja was on the field with 4 runs and Steve Smith with 6 runs. England were bowled out for 46.5 in the first day’s play, which was marred by heavy rain.
David Warner and Marcus Harris banged in as starters. Both showed a sober game. Warner faced 72 balls and Stuart Broad was out for 30 runs. He was followed by Harris with 38 and Anderson was out.
Following this, Marnus Lapushen scored 28 runs and Mar Wood gave the ball to Butler and got out. Finally, at the end of the first day’s play, the Australian team had scored 126 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. Steve Smith (6) and Usman Kwaja (4) are on the field.
The ball was thrown on the stumps to take the ball slightly out by Brad so Warner touched the edge of the ball and the slip went into Crawley’s hand. Warner hit 6 fours in 30 overs.
While Marcus Harris laid the good foundation for the big innings of 38 runs, a ball thrown by Anderson bounced off the stumps at length and swung out and Edge Root was right again this time.
