Chris Woakes hasnโt looked particularly threatening since morning, but the seamer has managed to bowl in decent areas and has finally been rewarded for his efforts. Keeper-bat Alex Carey tried to take on a short ball and hit it straight to Ollie Pope at midwicket. The debutant added 41 for the sixth wicket with the enterprising Travis Head, who has helped push Australiaโs lead towards 100. Australia are 240/6 after 67 overs, and should be a tad disappointed to find themselves in such a situation given the foundation laid by David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne.
