Mohammed Siraj to Konstas, no run, steps out, and Siraj sees him coming and whangs in the bouncer outside off stump, outside his eyeline. Swings hard and misses
Deep square leg, long leg and third back. A leg gully in place too. And a gully and a wide slip.
13.5
1
Mohammed Siraj to Khawaja, 1 run, length ball angling in to finish just outside off. Shuffles across and uses the angle adroitly, just lets the ball hit his bat, cushions it with soft hands into the short midwicket region
Round the wicket to Khawaja.

Mohammed Siraj to Konstas, 1 run, full now, angling into leg stump, clipped away to deep square leg
K Mac: "I think we'll all remember this morning in 20 years at the end of what will be a stellar career for this young man. "

Mohammed Siraj to Konstas, no run, length ball, and I think Siraj is following Konstas' attempt to create room, and in the process failing to keep the stumps in play. It's something of a win for Konstas, even if he misses his leg-side heave and gets smacked on the top of his right thigh

Mohammed Siraj to Konstas, FOUR, wow. Just incredible. Back of a length outside off, and Konstas absolutely hammers a flat-bat pull, with his weight moving into the ball, flat and hard and all the way over the midwicket boundary. Well, almost, because it's bounced just inside the rope
13.1
2
Mohammed Siraj to Konstas, 2 runs, oooh, that's risky from Konstas, and he picks up a hurried double to get to an extraordinary debut fifty. Massive roar from the MCG when he gets there. Full, angling into the stumps, and he tries to go inside-out through the covers, working against the inward angle. Thick inside edge rolls away into the square leg region

ozzy: "I'm all for being aggressive, but that was predictably childish from virat kohli barging shoulders with a young debutant."

1
Akash Deep to Konstas, 1 run, fullish, angling into middle and leg, gets his front leg out of the way and pushes to the right of mid-on with a nice, full face
12.5
0
Akash Deep to Konstas, no run, length ball angling in towards off stump. A touch fuller than the previous ball, and he gets forward to block it back to the bowler
12.4

Akash Deep to Konstas, no run, length ball angling in towards off stump, defended back down the pitch
12.3
0
Akash Deep to Konstas, no run, full outside off, Konstas gets forward to drive, aiming into the covers, and ends up playing a touch early. Drags it to mid-off off the inside half of the bat
Two slips and a gully for Konstas.
12.2
1
Akash Deep to Khawaja, 1 run, shortish outside off, swivels into a pull but it's perhaps not quite as short as he'd like. Thick bottom edge down to fine leg
12.1
2
Akash Deep to Khawaja, 2 runs, attacks the stumps, gets a little too full, and Khawaja steps across and clips it away, wide of mid-on
Hello, hello. What a bizarrely fun first hour that was. Unlike anything we've ever seen, pretty much. Here's Akash Deep now, round the wicket to Khawaja.
