Meanwhile, Australia will aim to capitalize on the freshness of the new ballÂ and apply pressure from the outset. An exciting second act is on the horizon, so stay tuned!

Glenn MaxwellÂ and Alex CareyÂ then built a solid 54-run partnership, with Maxwell getting off to a quick start.

Together, they pushed the total to 304/7, giving Australia a competitive score to defend.
