WHAT A BOSS 😤😤😤 Marnus Labuschagne brings up his third straight ton with a SIX. He's averaging 89 since he came in during the Ashes... Follow the Test LIVE:
The big news prior to play was the debut of Lockie Ferguson, the 28-year-old who can bowl at 150km/h and made a mark on the World Cup only a few months earlier.
He troubled David Warner and Joe Burns in the early exchanges, and even found Burns’ edge only for the ball to fall well short of the slips fielder.Ferguson’s debut would only last 11 overs and then he was taken away to have scans on a calf injury, casting doubt over his participation for the rest of the match. It was a case of injury added to insult, with Ferguson having Smith dropped in the cordon.Burns was the first Aussie to fall, caught lbw for 9 by Colin de Grandhomme.
Warner then followed for 43, ousted by a spectacular diving catch by Neil Wagner off his own bowling.The pair would put on 132 together, and celebrate Labuschagne’s century in the meantime, before Smith was caught out by a legside trap off Wagner’s clever bowling for 43. Matthew Wade fell victim to the new pink ball which Southee swung a mile inward to the left-hander to clean bowl him for 12.
