Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test Day 1 Highlights: After securing a resounding victory in the first Test, Australia aim to wrap up the series with one match in advance as they take on Pakistan in the second Test of the three-match series at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Pakistan were struck by similar issues early in the second Test, with poor fielding robbing them of the opportunities of early wickets, especially that of David Warner. Rain also came down pouring at MCG, forcing the teams to take early Tea. (Scorecard)

    ... DAY 2, SESSION 2 ...

    Saying that, we feel the Aussies have a good score on the board. The wicket is not the easiest to bat on. The ball was doing a bit, it also has seemed to have quickened up and hence, we feel, the Aussies have a competitive total. None of their batters scored a big ton but there were handy contributions from a few of them. Marnus Labuschagne was the highlight with a hard-fought fifty-plus score. A few others got off to starts but none went onto make it into a big score. Now it is onto their bowlers and we believe they will be rearing to bowl on this wicket. Pakistan on the other hand, have a stiff task ahead of them but they have momentum on their side, can they show some fight with the bat now? We will find out. Join us in a bit.

  4. !

    That is fine, fine session for Pakistan! Just the kind they would have hoped for this morning. The start was not the best for them as Head and Marnus Labuschagne were dealing in boundaries but once Head fell, wickets fell at regular intervals. The likes of Mir Hamza, Aamer Jamal and Shaheen Afridi were really good. Yes, they will be a little disappointd with how quicly they have let Australia score in this session but they will be pleased to have bowled them out for the score they have done. All the bowlers got a wicket at least but have to say, Aamer Jamal and Mir Hamza were the pick this morning.
