Returning batsman rewards Australia selectors’ faith with third-fastest century in Ashes history

Australia's Travis Head celebrates his century in the first Ashes test against England at The Gabba, Brisbane on December 9 2021. Picture: Darren England/AAP via REUTERS ATTENTION EDITORS - THIS IMAGE WAS PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY. NO RESALES. NO ARCHIVES. AUSTRALIA OUT. NEW ZEALAND OUT

While Australia’s day was set up nicely by a 156-run stand between opener David Warner and No 3 Marnus Labuschagne, Head came to the crease as England rallied with a three-wicket fightback before and after tea. Head was dropped during the 2-1 series loss to India over the last home summer but was recalled for the Ashes squad. He beat out the more experienced Usman Khawaja for the middle-order spot, a decision criticised by former players and pundits.
