A near-perfect first day for Australia after winning the toss. 90s from Warner and Labuschagne has put them in control, with a mammoth first innings total looking imminent. Labuschagne and Smith remain unbeaten on 95 and 18 respectively. Labuschagne will be looking forward to start day 2 with a century and contributing to Australia's first innings score.
