He didn't want to know about it. He's given not out, but Australia reviews. I can't imagine this was spinning enough. Close though. Oh it's umpire's call! Probably hitting off stump by about as much as the one that got rid of Sarel Erwee. The good news for Australia is they keep their review. And he's almost snuck one past the inside edge to finish. Jansen looks in all sorts out there. 51st over - It's Cummins from around the wicketSat, 6:43amSat 7 Jan 2023 at 6:43amBy Jon HealyA short one stays low and that's not going to make life easy for Jansen. Ouch! Jansen wears another bouncer on the chest from around the wicket.
Marco Jansen just bought a two-storey walk-up on Struggle Street there. 57th over- Josh Hazlewood replaces Pat CumminsSat, 7:08amSat 7 Jan 2023 at 7:08amBy Jon HealyHe'll have two overs. Harmer is happy to shoulder arms to anything not cannoning into middle. Hazlewood spears one in and Harmer defends it off his stumps. Really solid defence from the offie. Four! Lovely stroke as Hazlewood tries the in-swinging full one, but Harmer clips off his toes like a right-handed Usman Khawaja. 56th over - Lyon again with two close fielders on the leg sideSat, 7:05amSat 7 Jan 2023 at 7:05amBy Jon HealyNo-one on the off side in front of the bat under the lid.
He's a big target. He's come back over the wicket. I, for one, feel much more comfortable watching this. He still starts short, but Jansen can defend. Jansen drives down the ground and Cummins thought he was in the game for a caught and bowled for a hot second, but not quite. Again, would've been one of the all-time greats. 52nd over - Lyon coming in againSat, 6:47amSat 7 Jan 2023 at 6:47amBy Jon HealyIs there a temptation to go pace from both ends, or will they stick with pace from one end and spin from the other? HUGE SHOUT FOR LBW! Jansen shouldered arms and almost tripped over as he padded up.
Wouldn't be surprised if Australia was told to only bowl spinners. Harmer is surrounded by four in-close fielders who won't shut up. Won't worry this experienced Essex lad. Oh, that one really bounced up into the gloves as Harmer got forward. Lucky that didn't pop up. 53rd over (cont) - Cummins is on fireSat, 6:57amSat 7 Jan 2023 at 6:57amBy Jon HealyHarmer's first ball is a tight leave. And the next is almost straight to leg gully! So close.
And then he just manages to fend one away. Lucky not to go straight to a fielder. Almost another one! Verreynne takes his bottom hand off the bat and tries to fend it away, but it falls just short of gully. 50th over - Perhaps some relief with LyonSat, 6:39amSat 7 Jan 2023 at 6:39amBy Jon HealyVerreynne gets deep in his crease and smacks a cross-bat shot through point. He's wisely playing back on this slow deck, but if one spins and stays low, it'll be tough to keep out. 49th over (cont) - Cummins continuesSat, 6:38amSat 7 Jan 2023 at 6:38amBy Jon HealyMarco Jansen comes to the crease and wears a bouncer in the bicep to start.
