Wayward bowling lets Rohit & Co. down as a blazing ton from Travis Head helps Australia recover from 76-3 to position of strength on Day 1 of the WTC Final; Smith too on cusp of another century
Mohammed Shami had just produced one of those deliveries that he does when he's in rhythm. A rare full ball, his first after lunch, which seamed in after pitching, crashed into Marnus Labuschagne's off-stump, dismissing him for an ungainly 26. Australia were then 76/3 on Day 1 of the World Test Championship final at the Oval with Steve Smith only on four.
