Pretty sure Lehman and Martyn got asked to **** off by the umps for doing that in SL way back in 2004
I think it happens a lot these days tbh, this definitely isn't the first time I've seen it in the last few years

Man this would be even more depressing if I could watch :/

Seems like a mix of really good gritty batting and some loose bowling on a tame pitch?

Do you have an android device? They keep advertising something called RabbitHole throughout play that supposedly lets you watch the game on an Android device. I'm not sure if it's expensive or if it's geoblocked etc, but worth looking into for you, perhaps.

A completely incidental fact in a cricinfo article struck me as incredible:

And while Handscomb's innings was impressive, Warner's was particularly notable for his restraint: at the close of play he had occupied the crease for 170 deliveries and had struck only four boundaries. The application of both men made their stand the biggest not involving Steven Smith by an Australian pair since the 2014 series against Pakistan in the UAE, when Warner and Chris Rogers put on 128 for the opening wicket in Dubai.

Hmmm 35 degreees plus 77% humidity sounds very much like Brisbane in summer. Except we'd expect a big thunderstorm to cool things down in the evening.
Except the average daily temperature for January (the hottest month) in Brisbane is 26

Do you actually believe that everything in Australia is; bigger, better, stronger, hotter???

Come over here in January and then tell me the average is 26.

Do you actually believe everything you read on holiday-weather.com?

Except daily average includes this curious period known as 'night'. You probably haven't heard of it.

Average daily maximum at Brisbane in January is 30.3, not as high as Dhaka but Brisbane faces east which is better (cooler) than Dhaka which faces south in the Bay of Bengal/Chennai's cesspool.

Ha

It's gotten to the point that I don't think 26 is particularly warm for September

Brisbane is inland so doesn't benefit from any sea breeze

It can be the same temperature as Gold Coast but feels much hotter as air is so still

Having said that, I'd still prefer it to Dhaka

It doesn't hit 35 every day but it's certainly common. The main difference is that when it does hit 35, you are almost certain to get a storm at 4/5 pm which will break the heat.

It's really the humidity which smashes people. Summer in Brisbane is never dry and so high humidity at 33 degrees feels worse than 40 degrees in the southern states.

If Adders or anyone else wants a comparison, Sydney's average Jan max is 26. Actually, Sydney (east, certainly not Penrith) has the softest climate in the country. Living in one of the few places in the country that regularly receives negative temperatures I chuckle when they complain about it getting down to eight overnight.
