1NB

Taskin Ahmed to Travis Head

A bit of excitement from the bowler, but that's missed the bat. Back of a length and over off, shapes back in. Travis Head gets cramped for room as he looks to shovel it leg side and the ball goes off the thigh pad to the keeper. Also, Ahmed has overstepped. No Ball called.

0.3

Taskin Ahmed to Travis Head

That's a peach! Perfect length, just a bit fuller of a good length and darting away from the off stump. Head stays back and looks to fend at it but the ball zips past the outside edge.

0.4

Taskin Ahmed to Travis Head

First runs off the bat and Head is off the mark. Hard length over middle and leg, Head gets up on his toes and tucks it away through the big gap in front of square on the leg side and picks up a couple of runs.

0.5

Taskin Ahmed to Travis Head

Should have been stopped. On the pads again, nudged down to leg gully, where the fielder lets it through to fine leg, conceding a single.

0.6

Taskin Ahmed to Matt Renshaw

Ooh, that's a top nut to get first up. Good length on, nips away a fair bit. Matt Renshaw strides forward and plays down the line but the ball breezes past the outside edge. Australia are 8/0 after the first over.

1.1

Hasan Mahmud to Travis Head

Mahmud starts on a straighter line, angling it into the pads. Head works it through mid-wicket for a single.

1.2

Hasan Mahmud to Matt Renshaw

Just back of a length, slanted across off. Renshaw moves to the off side and blocks it back onto the deck.

1.3

Hasan Mahmud to Matt Renshaw

Pretty similar line and length to the last delivery, and Renshaw again moves across and defends it off.

1.4

Hasan Mahmud to Matt Renshaw

FOUR! Streaky, but will settle the nerves a bit. Fractionally short and outside off, Renshaw opens the bat face to defend, but runs it more off the outside edge and between point and gully for a boundary. He's off the mark on his return to Test cricket.

1.5

Hasan Mahmud to Matt Renshaw

Good-length delivery, on a tight line around off and there's some extra lift off the deck as well. Renshaw shoulders arms.

1.6

Hasan Mahmud to Matt Renshaw

On a good length again, going across from middle to off. Renshaw hops to the off side and dabs it down into the leg side.

2.1

Taskin Ahmed to Travis Head

FOUR! Played with soft hands. Pitched-up delivery on off, looking to swing it in. Head gets halfway forward and pushes at it, edging it down behind point for another boundary. That's a bit frustrating for the bowler.

2.2

Taskin Ahmed to Travis Head

Shorter on off, Head gets up on his toes and angles it wide of gully for a quick single.

2.3

Taskin Ahmed to Matt Renshaw

Hard length from Taskin, over middle and leg. Renshaw strides down the pitch and exposes all of the stumps, tucking it to the right of the long leg fielder for a couple of runs. A touch of Matthew Hayden in the way Renshaw played that. Both from Queensland, both tall and burly opening batters, southpaws too.

2.4

Taskin Ahmed to Matt Renshaw

Two more. Back of a length and over middle, Renshaw gets across to the off side, and tucks it down through mid-wicket for a brace.

2.5

Taskin Ahmed to Matt Renshaw

Full of a good length, in the channel around off. Renshaw leaves it alone.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE!
