Fernando to Khawaja, 1 run, That's the moment that Khawaja was desperate for this entire summer. He shouts loudly and punches the air arrogantly. It means a lot to him. He would have liked this ton to come five Test matches earlier in the summer. But it's not a bad way to finish. Becomes the fourth Australian in the match and in the summer to get to a ton.
