Day 1 Report
Head's century lifts Australia from 12-3 to 241-6 in Hobart
England were off to a flying start on the opening day of the fifth Test in Hobart but Travis Head's century spoiled the visitors' celebration. Derailing at 12/3, Head's ton guided Australia to reach 241-6 at stumps on a rain-hit first day. Head, who scored 152 in the opening test at Brisbane, counterpunched England’s early success with an aggressive 101 off 113 balls in the day-night test as Australia came back strongly after losing the toss. Cameron Green contributed an authoritative 74 and Marnus Labuschagne scored a rapid 44 before rain arrived around half an hour after tea and prevented further play.
