Australia v Pakistan, Melbourne Day 2: Sunshine! Glorious sunshine, as Pakistan found some mojo to work through seven Australian wickets in the long first session. Then it was time for new captain Shan Masood to put the foot down. But you can never quite bank on Pat Cummins being out of the game. It tilted, it slipped, and it will need some more fun from Rizwan to re-balance a rollicking Test day.
