A fine come back - all the more so because Australia had the harder batting conditions to contend with on Day 1.
It's important that they wrap up the tail quickly, so we can have the obligatory "Should he enforce the follow-on?" conversation for 10 minutes - until Cummins announces that Australia will bat again.

8 down for 241. Cummins gets Ashraf. Magnificent tumbling catch by the year’s best Test batsman, bat none - Special K!

Brilliant glovework by Carey takes a stumping and the GOAT’s 499th Test wicket. 9 for.

Head gets Shaheen Afridi. 1/4! Lyon 3/66. All out 271 in a whisker more than 100 overs. Cummins 2/35, Starc 2/68, Marsh 1/34 and Hazlewood 1/49.
And now we can ask the least interesting question in modern Test cricket - will Cummins enforce the follow-on?

It's funny how the wicket suddenly got friendly when SPD BradSmith and Special K came together, isn't it? Not saying they'll last - the conditions are very difficult - but they do look a cut above.
