Hello and welcome!

Good morning and welcome, from an overcast and slightly cool MCG.

The talk of the place today is still the events of yesterday, with cricket fans still trying to wrap their heads around what they saw from Sam Konstas with the bat and his clash with Virat Kohli.

Steve Smith will resume on 68, with Australia on 6-311. A century is up for grabs, but part of that will be about how much the tail can brave a six-over old ball and Jasprit Bumrah, who took three scalps yesterday.
