6th over: Australia 15-1 (Konstas 11, Labuschagne 2) Konstas is beaten! Lovely outswinger by Siraj. It’s a set-up for the wobble seam delivery on middle and leg next. Konstas keeps it out. Fourth ball is a wide and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant lands on the ball in his tumble to stop byes. He can’t stop that one! Konstas cracks another swinging ball through covers for two.
5th over: Australia 11-1 (Konstas 9, Labuschagne 2) Here comes Jasprit Bumrah. Marnus Labuschagne on strike. He blocks the first and steps out to the second, driving for two. Positive start for Marnus. Bumrah gets him edging the next. The day one bounce is still there in spades on this SCG pitch. Bumrah is up to 135kph as he hunts a 32nd wicket for the series.
