England spinner Jack Leach signs autograph on fan's bald head

England spinner Jack Leach became an instant crowd favourite as he signed a fan's bald head during Day 1 of the fourth Ashes Test match being played at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Despite the home team losing three wickets for 126 runs at stumps, England bowlers looked short of inspiration at times, having already lost the ongoing Ashes after losing the first three of the five-match series. However, spinner Jack Leach didn't seem much perturbed by doom and gloom surrounding the English team and brought his cheerful self to the field. In between the proceedings of the game, Leach became an instant crowd favourite as he signed a fan's bald head.

The entire SCG saw the event on live screen and a huge cheer went across the field. Here's a video of the incident:

In between frequent rain stoppages, 46.5 overs were squeezed in by the visitors.

Openers David Warner and Marcus Harris showcased immense application and concentration despite the breaks to get Australia up and running. However, veteran pacers Stuart Broad and James Anderson provided the much-needed breakthroughs as they got rid of the batters for 30 and 38 runs, respectively.

In-form batter Marnus Labuschagne endured a tough time in the middle and was eventually dismissed by Mark Wood for 28 runs.

Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja were in the middle when rain stopped play and the umpires decided to call stumps on Day 1.
