Head-Smith’s century, Bumrah’s 5 wickets, one more day

241 run partnership between Smith and Head

After the fall of three wickets for 75 runs, Travis Head and Steve Smith made a partnership of 241 runs. Smith took his time initially, but once he settled in he started to look like his old self. Smith had not scored a Test century since June 29, 2023, but he ended his century drought at the Gabba. Smith returned to the pavilion after scoring 101 runs. 12 fours came off his bat.

Smith batted with patience while on the other hand Travis Head batted stormily. Head was out for zero in the last three innings on this ground, but today he went from zero to hero. Head scored 152 runs in 160 balls. 18 fours came off his bat. Both Bumrah and Smith were dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah.

At one time Australia’s score was 316 runs for 3 wickets, but then Bumrah continued to strike and opened his claws. However, after 6 wickets fell for 327 runs, Alex Carey and Pat Cummins made a half-century partnership. Cummins was out after scoring 20 runs. Siraj sent him to the pavilion. Carey is scoring runs fast from one end. He is in the game after scoring 45 runs on 47 balls. 5 fours and one six came from his bat.
