Roston Chase, captain, looked to lead from the front. He had an early scare when he was given caught behind, but it came off a No-Ball, and he held his nerve and stayed patient. Chase showed good judgment in leaving deliveries and defended resolutely during his stay. However, Pat Cummins finally got the better of him with a rising delivery that caught the edge and flew to slip. Brandon King, meanwhile, didn’t look very comfortable at the crease. He was pinned LBW by Hazlewood, on his second ball of Day 2, after a scratchy 14, showing signs of tentativeness throughout his knock. John Campbell, who returned from an injury scare yesterday, joined Chase early and tried to settle in well. He looked more confident and is now unbeaten on 31, holding the innings together.
