Marques Ackerman has got off the mark in his Test debut, securing his first runs at the highest level of cricket in what was described as a nervy moment for the debutant.
The milestone is a significant one for any player stepping onto the Test stage for the first time, with the pressure of opening one's account a well-known challenge that has rattled even experienced batters in their early appearances at international level.
Ackerman's breakthrough moment will be one he is unlikely to forget, as he joins the long line of players who have navigated the tension of scoring their first Test runs and can now look to build on his innings from here.
