A new day, but Australia will stick with their wicket taker first up.
Around the wicket, three close catchers and Murphy is on the money straight away, not huge turn but just a little bit of deviation.
Nice little dab for Rohit to open his account for the day, a single to mid on.
So Ashwin – his role the following morning is immensely fascinating to me – just as is the case with all night watch men. What does he do? It must take a complete reassessment of priorities. He does have five Test tons though, let’s remember.
BEATEN! Great ball, that just going on with the arm across Ashwin’s bat and just missing the outside edge.
Ashwin negotiates the rest of the over without issue, but a great start to day two of his Test career for Murphy.
