The second session of the first day of SCG testing was cut to just 15 overs due to lack of light, but it was enough for Marnus Rabshagne and Ousman Khawaja to push Australia forward. Both batsmen passed his 50, and a frenzied but short-lived batting saw him add 70 runs, taking the total to his 138/1.
As you can see from the final moments of the opening session, spins play an important role not only in this test match, but also in the rest of the time. With him one ball in the session, Simon Harmer gave his LBW decision in favor as Khawaja tried to reverse his sweep. However, the left-hander overturned that decision after he was able to hit the ball with the glove on his way to the pad. It was the last time Australia allowed Spin to have a say in a session.
Labuschagne in particular was exemplary with his footwork knocking out spin pair Hamer and Keshav Maharaj. Maharaj got special treatment when the senior Test hitters began sweeping off the stumps. Labuchange reached the 6 limit in his first eight overs after lunch and in half a century he tallied 102 balls. Khawaja is industrious if not adventurous, and has helped his way to half a century with clipping shots from Kagiso Rabada.
