Paine shares light moment with media after long day on field

Australia had another long day in the field but their captain Tim Paine kept the lighted hearted humour going after day two of the fourth Test by answering a phone call, not his but a reporter's, in the middle of a press conference.

Paine, who has been involved in healthy banter throughout the series from behind the stumps, was game for a good laugh despite the team struggling in the ongoing Test.

A reporter's phone, kept on desk in front of Paine, rang in the middle of the media interaction and the skipper pounced on it.

"Tim Paine speaking. Who is it, sorry? It's Katie in Hong Kong. Who are you after?" he said, leaving the media persons in splits.

"Ah Martin, he's in the middle of a press conference at the moment. Can I get him to call you back?
