Bumrah to Khawaja, no run, way outside off and a loosener to start, a sighter for Khawaja as he lets it go, does not carry to Pant
Khawaja and McSweeney are at the crease. Khawaja is on strike. Bumrah will open the attack
Welcome back.
Mitch Starc: I don't know. I can't tell. Feel like the ball has been coming out well, we did not play that bad, they played better than us in Perth. [on if he visualised getting swing first-ball to Jaiswal] Not that much to be honest. Nothing really changes game by game, was a nice start. [on the weather conditions] Certainly did not help the engine, got a bit cramped at the end. It [the pink ball] goes through weird patches, won't do much and then does go, day 1 you expect with a little bit of grass to do a bit, maybe with the forecast we have it dries out a bit later on but apart from the first hour when we were a bit wide we were good.
