Rushworth cut short http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ross-Andrew-Whiteley-c86874 for naught, and conceding just 17 runs in his quota of four.
The early strikes then saw http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Khawaja-c2729 and Madsen consolidating, with the duo adding 52 for the third wicket. The stylist Australian had taken his personal tally to 33 before spinners came to the foil.
