Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test Day 2: Pakistan 124 runs shy at stumps© AFP

Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test Day 2 Highlights: After putting a total of 318 runs on the board in the first innings of the first Test against Pakistan, Australia did phenomenally well with the ball on Day 2. Skipper Pat Cummins led the charge with the ball, bagging three wickets while Josh Hazlewood grabbed two to have Pakistan 124 runs shy of Australia's first-innings score at stumps on Day 2. Mohammad Rizwan (29 not out) will be key to Pakistan's bid of reducing the deficit on Day 3 (SCORECARD)

    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.

    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.

    OUT! TAKEN! That is another fine catch! The final wicket falls. This is short and on the body, Nathan Lyon pulls it towards fine leg. Mir Hamza runs to his right and takes it with a dive. AUSTRALIA BOWLED OUT FOR 318!

    TOP EDGE AND FOUR! This is banged in on middle, Nathan Lyon looks to pull, it goes off the top edge to the fine leg fence. Frustration continues.
