After Warner’s quick wicket, a lot was on the shoulders of opener Usman Khwaja and Marnus Labuschagne. While the Aussie opener went on to score his 20^th Test fifty, Marnus too scored 79 off 151 before falling prey of Anrich Nortje.

But what grabbed limelight during the Day 1’s play was Marnus asking for a cigarette lighter. The Australian batter left everyone in splits when he asked for a lighter to repair the rim of his helmet.

The duo added 126 runs for the second wicket when bad light eventually stopped play of the day. With no improvement in lights and with rain threat looming over, the umpires called in Stumps on Day 1 of the third Test.
