McLaughlin then re-tweeted the post with a cheeky caption: &quot;This version of events is&hellip; mostly... accurate&hellip;&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPonting, along with Melanie, is part of the commentary team of Channel Seven for the ongoing two-Test series between Australia and Pakistan.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAustralia have taken a 1-0 lead in the two-match series after they won the first Test in Brisbane by an innings and five runs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe hosts, who have been unbeaten so far in the five pink-ball Tests they have played, reached 70\/1, losing Burns for four before rain once again interrupted the match and umpires called for an early Tea.<\/p>\r\n",
