As soon as he sees the edge rolled away through gully, Daryl Mitchell, England’s nemesis in the Test series so far, roared in delight. He now has hundreds in back-to-back Tests in a rubber he wasn’t certain to start in. The ball was pitched up just outside off, straightened a touch and found a thick edge. Soft hands from Mitchell in defence meant it went into the turf immediately. Off came the helmet as he soaked in the applause, having frustated England a great deal. It was the third Test ton overall for Mitchell.
