In the recently-concluded ICC World Test Championship match that took place in Adelaide, Australia won the toss and decided to bat. Regular captain Pat Cummins missed the game after coming in close contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19.

Steve Smith led the Aussies, and the home team posted a 473-run total on the board in the first innings. Captain Smith, wicket-keeper Alex Carey and opener David Warner recorded a fifty each, while Marnus Labuschagne top-scored with a 305-ball 103.

In reply, England were all out for 236 runs in their first innings. Dawid Malan and Joe Root registered a half-century, but none of the other batters could impress much. Mitchell Starc scalped four wickets for Australia.
