Super Malan puts England on top in third Test
Left-handed batsman scores maiden century as visitors finish day one at score of 305/4PERTH: A maiden Test century by Dawid Malan helped England fight back to 305 for four at stumps in the opening day of the vital third Ashes clash in Perth on Thursday. Malan was one of the chief beneficiaries as the 30-year-old notched his first century in his eighth Test, and England’s first hundreds of the series. It was just what England needed after Australia’s pace trio came out breathing fire after the lunch break. The former skipper was trapped leg before wicket by Starc for just seven, on his landmark 150th Test appearance. Cook did not review the decision, and the scorer of more than 11,000 Test runs has just 69 in the series at 13.80.
