12:32 Local Time, 01:32 GMT, 07:02 IST: Lunch on Day 1 and Australia will enjoy this break. They lost the toss, were asked to bowl first in pristine batting conditions at the SCG and they've finished the first session of the Test with four wickets in the bag. Shafique gave them an ideal start with a reckless drive in the 1st over, debutant Saim Ayub followed suit in the following over by Hazlewood and Cummins bagged babar Azam (26) who looked impressive in his brief stay and Saud Shakeel (5), in a 5-over busrt that put his team firmly on top. Masood has looked good so far and will have to convert this start into a big innings if he's to rescue his team. Back at 1:10 pm for the resumption
