Capt Solar does his best Tugga impersonation

[Armchair expert]

Running between the wickets has been interesting to say the least.

[Lightning McQueen]

Carey out third ball

Konstas like shot

To his defense he got off the mark in the first dig with a very similar shot.

Stumps, guts it out those last few overs.

6/99, lead by 181

Green 42*
Cummins 5*

It’s enough.

I feel it's enough if we can eek out the first session tomorrow, even if we score bugger all, batting at night with our attack will absolutely rattle them.

Yep.

I must admit I do like going to Day/Night Tests at AO but it’s not fair for the teams … night conditions are so different to day that it creates a lotto situation.

We all feel that way but as of December 2024 the first session in day/night tests has proved to be statistically trickier.

Session 1 wickets have fallen at 23.85 whilst session 3 wickets have fallen at 25.16.

Whether thats because just try and survive in session 3 so less wickets vs trying to score runs in session 1 but yeah the statistics go against the theory session 3 is the hardest.

Probably into the tail by the first session from day two onwards.

McSweeney getting runs for Australia A again, currently 66 not
Weatherald made 54

[Armchair expert]

Stumps

McSweeney 94*
Scott 52*

I'm calling it now, Liam Scott will be shield player of the year!

[Brodlach]

His improvement in 12 months has been enormous

[DoublebluTiger]

Carey out for the rest of the game due to concussion and Inglis in to sub field as the keeper.

Not an official concussion substitution though.

[Lightning McQueen]

That rivals Shane Watson reviews

[Lightning McQueen]

3/0 in the first over

[The Dark Knight]

Starc on 399 test wickets and now has 23 wickets in his first over of an innings.

[Jim05]

Starc has 5/2 off 2.3 overs

[Lightning McQueen]

The 2 were an edge through slips
