Batting with a target of 316 runs to win, the Australian cricketers were aggressive from the start. Especially the English bowlers did not find a way to stop Head in the whole match.

Finished his innings with 20 fours and 5 sixes. He did not discount any of England’s bowlers. Steve Smith (28 off 32) and Cameron Green (32 off 32) could not score big runs despite aggressive batting. But Labuschenne trusts Head. He remained unbeaten with 77 runs off 61 balls. Hit 7 fours and 2 sixes. Head-Labuchen scored 148 runs in an unbroken partnership for the fourth wicket.
