Although Australia lost key batters in Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith in quick succession, Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green have kept England at bay. The duo has weaved a fifty-run partnership to take Australia’s lead past 250. Khawaja is looking in fine fettle after having scored a ton in the first innings of the Sydney Ashes Test, while Cameron Green has got a start that he must convert to keep detractors silent. The lanky right-hander is presently batting on 26.
