Key moment: Prior to play, Jason Holder rejected Steve Smith's double declaration proposal. There was never going to be a result from then on.

Stat of the day: No play was possible between 1.42pm on day two until 11.45am on day five. In that space of time Chris Gayle has been fined $10,000 and vowed to sue Fairfax Media.

Summary: The sun was shining at the SCG but ultimately it was a centre-wicket session for both sides. Peter Nevill and Mitch Marsh had some rare time in the middle, while Warner gave 6,865 fans something to remember.

Quote of the day: "They didn't come to the party. I offered him 370 in 70 overs, which I thought was pretty generous," SMITH details the target he offered to chase prior to play.
