In the first session, they scored 73 runs for one wicket in 23.1 overs. Then, the second session also went well as they finished the session with a score of 190 runs for two wickets in 50 overs. Usman Khawaja failed to continue his form from the last game as he scored just 17 runs off 70 balls, including two fours. While, Warner scored 66 runs off 88 balls, including eight fours and one six. Josh Tongue replaced Moeen Ali in the playing XIfor this match and the move has worked so far in favour of the team. He has taken both these wickets with two peach of deliveries that rattled their stumps. Both batters were left stunned by the dismissals. After two sessions, Steve Smith was batting 38* runs and Labuschagne was batting on 45* runs.
