(Video) Khawaja no longer being ruffled by the short stuff

Usman Khawaja was peppered by the short stuff earlier in his innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground, but the calm and composed left-hander has gradually slid into his groove. Khawaja got on top of a bouncer from Stuart Broad and nailed the pull towards mid-wicket after reaching his half-century on Test comeback. It has been a sublime knock from the southpaw, who shared a century stand with Steve Smith to steady Australia who lost three wickets on the opening day. The hosts are well placed at 268/5 but need Khawaja to kick on.
