1st Test, Day 1: Head's 78 Not Out Give Australia Edge Over South Africa

By IANS News December 17, 2022 • 16:12 PM View: 617

The Gabba (Brisbane), Dec 17, Left-handed batter Travis Head's emphatic unbeaten 78 helped Australia get a marginal edge over South Africa on the opening day of the first Test, here on Saturday.

After South Africa were knocked over for 152 on the stroke of tea, Australia found themselves in the same strife and were reeling at 27 for 3 before Head's blazing knock and his 117-run fourth-wicket stand between with Steven Smith, took them to 5-145 at stumps.
