35th over: Australia 90-1 (McSweeney 39, Labuschagne 23) Jasprit Bumrah starts with the maiden picking up the pace and angle, his pink balls popping out of the water like a cobra's tongue. Good luck, everyone.

34th over: Australia 90-1 (McSweeney 39, Labuschagne 23) Mohamed Shirazi comes to Marnus in a hurry. Several slips and gullies are in place. I'll run right away! Marnus hit the ball outside to the leg side and missed the leg boundary, but he scored three runs to start the day. Aggressive intent from a batter in trouble. McSweeney fielded the next four balls and Siraj hit a good length ball and one off the last ball gave him four runs off the first over.

Come on, players, let's do this. The sun is beating down on us in Adelaide, making us scoff at double socks and the rising thermals here in London. It looks like it's going to be a batting day, but can India wink back into this game a little early? There's only one way to know! play

“Put more pressure on your typing fingers, And may the sleeping infant goddess smile kindly on your family! ” Brendon Marley won a non-existent award for first email of the day! (For the love of all that is holy, please contact us. Details are on the left side of this page)

Oh, infant goddess of sleep! Are you smiling? Brendon, she has been munching and blowing raspberries for the past three years, as my big eye bags can attest. Who needs sleep? Especially when there is a smorgasbord of Antipodean Test matches.

Execution (sec) Execution (sec) rudolph Marnus!

“What I want for Christmas is rock and roll electric guitar 12 Test Centuries to save career. ”

Catchy.

Marnus and McSweeney were grafted under the lights last night.this morning, can they turn it on and keep making scores that both stop the chatter? The first hour will be fascinating, as it always is.

They both hope they can crack it, and it's likely they'll have at least half a century of aspirations. It's 3:34am UK time and I feel like having a coffee, but in case the floorboards creak and I'm woken up so early that I'm in real danger, I walk past my snoring three-year-old. I don't have the courage to walk down the hallway. cat among pigeons There is an infant in OBO.

This test is quite old and advanced But it pales in comparison to the warp speed that occurs over the ditch. England ignited the afterburners in Wellington. I forgive you for joining Rob Smith in a few overs in the other OBO, please be sure to come back.

Rory Burns' play today:

Jeff was certainly in good spirits yesterday. So was Mitchell Starc, another cloud-breaker with a wavy barnet.

Sports songs from outside sources are usually boring. This is partly because they are usually sung out of tune by annoying drunks, and partly because they are usually sung with little attention to the midrange, without regard to rhythm or meter. This is because it consists of unpleasant couplets squeezed into an empty melody line. Tear radio hit. A few slightly more artistic companies stand out and look much better than they objectively deserve. Some of the things I've enjoyed from time to time in recent years include: “Herc, the Angels Sing – Mitchell Stark, Rookie Ball King.”

The phrasing is spot on, the use of a Christmas hymn is seasonally appropriate for December/January in Australia, and the sentiment reflects the truth of cricket. Stark with his lacquered kingfisher (which sounds strange to possess without context) is a menace. But replacing the “new-ball” lyrics with “pink-ball” makes it even more appropriate. In the day/night test format, no one has performed the test better.
