In late 1987, the England team had toured Pakistan, and Australia had hosted Tests and One Day Internationals against New Zealand.

England were captained by Mike Gatting, fresh from his finger-wagging confrontation with umpire Shakoor Rana, and lacked several of the big name players of recent years, such as Graham Gooch, David Gower, Allan Lamb, and Ian Botham.

Broad reacted angrily to his dismissal, and flattened the leg stump with his bat as he departed: he was fined the maximum permitted (£500) by the tour manager.

On the third day, Australia batted poorly and lost wickets regularly to shots more suited to one-day cricket.

Jones made 56, but when bad light ended play two hours early, the side was 164 for seven wickets, 62 runs short of the follow-on.
