The 23-year-old went after India’s Jasprit Bumrah in the third over of the first innings. He smashed the premier pacer for two sixes and one four. 

Watch:

Australia were 115/5 in the 13th over. 

Bumrah was introduced in the third over. After giving one run in the first two balls, the Indian pacer was smashed for a boundary on the third. 

The paver went full outside off and Green, looking to drive, struck the ball with the inner half of the bat. It rushed wide of mid-on for a boundary.

Cameron Green then shuffled a long way across to paddle Bumrah’s good length delivery. He missed. On the very next ball, the Aussie all-rounder managed to pick a slower ball, full and wide, for a six over long-on. 

On the sixth ball of the over, Bumrah dragged the length back. Green went across and pulled it over square leg for a six. 

Bumrah went for 17 runs in his first over. Green brought his half-century soon.
