19th over: Australia 100-2 (Khawaja 45, Smith 30) lead by 380
Khawaja taking on Kemar Roach, sashaying down the pitch and clobbering him through the legside. Then it’s Smith’s turn, dabbing the paceman to the third-man boundary and adding another four before the over’s out.
5.58am GMT
18th over: Australia 88-2 (Khawaja 42, Smith 21) lead by 368
Jomel Warrican provides a change of pace and it almost works with Smith driving loosely but failing to reach the long-on fielder. Khawaja much more controlled, timing a couple of pearlers sweetly through the offside. This Australian innings is gathering momentum without much effort.
