Head's arrival at the crease came after the quick dismissals of Nathan McSweeney and Steve Smith on Day 2. However, Head remained unfazed and played aggressively, putting pressure on the Indian bowlers and reaching his century in just 111 deliveries. He ended his innings with a score of 140 off 141 balls.

Earlier in the innings, Marnus Labuschagne also contributed with a half-century, scoring 64 runs. Labuschagne's performance was crucial as he faced criticism for his lack of runs in the first innings in Adelaide.
