Australia are 6-242, after losing debutant Alex Carey for 12. Follow the final session here:
Cameron Green was bowled for a golden duck on Thursday afternoon without offering a shot.Just as Australia looked to regain some momentum, Carey clips a short ball to Ollie Pope at mid-wicket. The debutant had no desire to keep that ball on the ground when he could have rolled his wrists on that.Pat Cummins makes his way to the middle and receives a warm reception from the Brisbane crowd.
Australia’s 34th Test gloveman and baggy green No.461 has a big job to do with the bat, with Australia 82 in front and only the bowlers to come. With a first-class average of 34, Carey is a bit above par with the bat for a modern-day wicketkeeper but has struggled in the Sheffield Shield in the past month with scores of zero, seven, six, two and three before a century last start in the Marsh Cup.
