Series: India tour of Australia, 2020-21 Venue: Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne Date & Time: Dec 26-Dec 3010:30 AM LOCAL

Travis Head 38(92)

41.5
W
Bumrah to Head, out Caught by Rahane!! Pokes, edges, and finds Rahane's funky field placings. It's I0$ extra delivery that the third umpire has made Bumrah bowl, thanks to his no ball calls, and poor Head pays the price. So it was an incoming delivery from round the wicket, which Head looked to push at, but the ball held its line, took the outside edge, and flew to the fine gully's right. Trust Rahane to hold on to these smart ones. Head c Rahane b Bumrah 38(92) [4s-4]
41.5
Bumrah to Head, no ball, 135.1kph, good length, on middle, tucked off the back foot to short mid-wicket. And once again, the third umpire calls out the no ball

4
Bumrah to Head, FOUR, probably the shot of the day so far! Head is growing in confidence in recent overs and this stroke is probably proof that he is now well-set. A bit too full outside off, Head leans into a confident straight drive. On the up and beats mid-off comfortably. Class!!
39.5
4
Bumrah to Head, FOUR, probably the inswinging yorker gone wrong, ends up as a low full toss and Head flicks it away past square leg who is stationed midway from the fence. Pujara it is, and he can't get across with a dive
39.3
Bumrah to Head, 1 run, shortish in-angler again, Head shuffles a bit and whips it through mid-wicket. Could have had a brace but there is confusion on the second run and they bail out of it

4

36.1
Umesh Yadav to Head, no run, dug in really short this time, Head ducks under it
35.6

32.4
Ashwin to Head, byes, 1 run, Ashwin really testing Pant's abilities here with another darter that's far down leg. A fumble and backward square leg tidies up

Siraj to Head, 1 run, shorter again, this time Head stands tall and punches it just wide of mid-off to get off-strike
31.4
