Session times. Play will start at 14:30 Adelaide time, 15:00 Eastern Daylight, 12:00 WA. The first session will be two hours. The first break will be 40 minutes, and called ‘dinner’, even though it’s at 16:30 and it’s only dinner if you’ve been very bad and been sent to bed early.
Break 16:30 to 17:10 local time. Second session 17:10 to 19:10. Tea break, 19:10 to 19:30. Final session, 19:30 to… hahaha, who are we kidding, probably about 1am given the way these guys bowl their overs.
Pink ball power. Mitchell Starc is back from leave as well, and he has the most wickets in day-night Tests, 42 of them. In fact, Australia’s four bowlers are the top four on the wickets list for this format. Because they’ve played more of it than others, but also because they’re good at it. Looks like tough work for India’s batting.
