Stuart Broad dismissed Steve Smith and David Warner, while Chris Woakes and Mark Wood respectively dismissed Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne. However, a counter-attacking partnership that has gone over 50 runs has subsequently been put up by Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh, who were playing in their maiden Test of the series. It resulted in England being wicketless for virtually half of the second session. With his fourth Test half-century quickly approaching, Marsh never really looked back. The all-rounder eventually scored a century in just 102 balls, nearly completely cancelling out the advantage England had after the first session thanks to him and Head.At the stroke of tea, Marsh was out for 118 off as many balls, bringing the partnership to an end on 155 off 168.
