Australia and Pakistan are currently in a Test series, a significant event in the cricketing calendar. In the second Test match, Australia was all out for 318 runs during the lunch session on the second day. Marnus Labuschagne posted a composed 63 runs. Australia lost seven wickets for 131 on an entertaining session that extended for over 2 1-2 hours due to rain delays on the opening day. Mitchell Marsh adopted an aggressive approach, smashing 41 off 60 deliveries.
Australia reached 187-3 at stumps on Tuesday, with David Warner scoring 38 in a 90-run opening stand with Usman Khawaja (42). Steve Smith contributed 26 in a 46-run partnership with Labuschagne for the third wicket. Australia navigated through a challenging afternoon on a rain-interrupted first day of play, where only 66 of the scheduled 90 overs were bowled.
Travis Head fell in the fifth over on Wednesday, caught at second slip off the bowling of Shaheen Shah Afridi (2-85). Aamir Jamal (3-64) dismissed Labuschagne in a pivotal moment, caught at slip at 250-5 after a 46-run stand with Marsh. Marsh, at seven, was initially given out LBW, but he successfully reviewed the decision as replays showed an inside edge.
