Head, who was dropped twice, made the most of his reprieves. He smashed 17 fours and four maximums in his 141-ball knock as the game seemingly edged away from India.

India picked four wickets in the session. Mohammed Siraj struck twice including putting an end to Head's entertaining knock, which afforded the Australian lower order to bat with freedom.
