Bumrah to Head, out Caught by Pant!! This is a masterclass over from Jasprit Bumrah. Look at Virat roar. Look at Bumrah let his emotions out with a loud double-fist pump. The plan was clear. They saw Travis Head not being very comfortable to full balls that didn't have width. Bumrah bowling round the wicket totally cut off the off-side when he offered no room outside off stump. He kept bowling straight. Head mistimed the flick, wasn't middling the drive either. Then he pushed him back with a smart short delivery to keep him even more guessing. And then he follows up with a length delivery with a bit of width to force him into a loose shot. Head thought he had to release the pressure with the back foot drive but this one moved away with some bounce to take the outside edge. That's how you get a set batter out. Understand a weakness, have a strategy around it and use your smarts. Head walks off after a trademark counterattacking innings. Head c Pant b Bumrah 89(101) [4s-8]
38.5
Bumrah to Head, 5 wides, oh he tries to bounce to him but it's flown too high
38.4
Bumrah to Head, no run, full and just outside off stump. Awkward push to mid-off. How far is a cunning slower ball away? Get him early into shot for a catch?
38.3
Bumrah to Head, no run, it's full and on the off stump, Head not as free with his strokeplay to this line and length. Defends back to the bowler

Bumrah to Smith, no ball, and he hits the pad straightaway! Big appeal from Bumrah. Pant says "this looks high", India don't review but Bumrah has overstepped anyway. Short of a length delivery nipping back in, Smith misses the defence and gets hit on the pad. Impact and pad, both were an issue
4.2
Bumrah to Labuschagne, out Lbw!! That looked out the moment Marnus offered no shot. That ball kept low when Marnus was trusting the pitch to take help the ball bounce over the stumps, but this Perth pitch has tricks now and he's misbehaved again. Impact was outside off stump but it didn't matter since the batter didn't play at it. Umpire Gaffaney gave the slow finger again as he knew this was crashing into top of off stump, vindicated by DRS. Australia 3 down already and reeling! Labuschagne lbw b Bumrah 3(5)
4.1
Bumrah to Labuschagne, no run, short of length delivery nipping back in, Marnus defends and finds backward short leg. Wonder who shouted 'no run' there. Was it Marnus or Jurel!

0.5
Bumrah to Cummins, no run, the captain brings himself on as nightwatchman. Inswinger thuds the pad and missing leg
0.4
Bumrah to McSweeney, out Lbw!! And it is the inswinger that traps McSweeney plumb in front. McSweeney is out LBW to Bumrah again on debut. What a tough challenge in your very first Test. I set you up with outies and I saw you leaving comfortably. Now I am slipping this into you to attack the stumps and there you go, struck right in front of middle and off. Was a running appeal from Bumrah because he knew it was out. Umpire Chris Gaffaney raised the slow finger. It was back of a length, it was nipping back, it did keep low and even Khawaja wasn't convinced McSweeney should review this. One down in the very first over. McSweeney lbw b Bumrah 0(4)
