When both teams returned for Tea, Australia's score stood at 234/3, with Smith and Head unbeaten with scores of 65(149) and 103(118), respectively
Travis Head looked comfortable while navigating the ball towards the offside region by using the bounce to its effective use. He breezed past the 50-run mark and then accelerated for the next fifty
