Got it to leave the right-hander and brings it back into the left. Khawaja however, plays it with the swing towards mid on.

Mohammed Shami to Aaron Finch
Almost plays it on! On the shorter side and it is on the 5th stump line. Finch is guilty of going hard at it. It goes off the inside edge, past the leg stump and towards square leg for a run. Finch is underway.

Mohammed Shami to Aaron Finch
What a beauty to begin with! This guy is in some rhythm. The ball starts around off which means Finch has to play at it. The ball though leaves him late but luckily for Finch it whizzes past his outside edge.
Mohammed Shami to bowl from the other end with the second new ball.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Usman Khawaja
A good length ball on middle and off, Usman goes on the back foot and turns it on the leg side. Finds the fielder. So, just a boundary off the first over.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Usman Khawaja
Better line. Nice and full around off, Khawaja sticks back and defends it to the off side.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Usman Khawaja
FOUR! Australia are away! Once again Bhuvneshwar Kumar is on the pads of the batsman and Khawaja beautifully flicks it past the square leg fielder for a boundary. No protection in the deep.
0
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Usman Khawaja
The line this time from Kumar is on the leg stump and the length is quite full. Usman plays it off his pads and pushes it to mid on.
0
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Usman Khawaja
This one is bowled on a driving length outside off. Angling away from the southpaw, Khawaja takes his front leg forward and then decides to make a leave.
