The start of play in Adelaide was delayed for few minutes due to light showers and that is when Warner and Burns decided to try their hands at rock-paper-scissors. It could have been probably to decide who takes the strike on first ball of the match. Cricket.com.au uploaded the video on social media and their post read: ““Good old rock, nothing beats that! #AUSvPAK.” 

After thrashing the visitors by an innings and five runs in Brisbane, the home side named an unchanged team as they look to inflict a 14th consecutive defeat on Pakistan in Australia.

The visitors recalled paceman Mohammad Abbas, who was surprisingly omitted in Brisbane, with Imran Khan dropped. Impressive 19-year-old quick Muhammad Musa was also picked to make his debut, replacing 16-year-old pace sensation Naseem Shah with Pakistan selectors conscious they need to manage his workload.

Out-of-form number three Haris Sohail was axed and Imam-ul-Haq brought in to open the innings alongside Shan Masood, meaning captain Azhar Ali will come in at first drop.
