Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score Updates

Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test Day 2 Live:A stubborn Marnus Labuschagne weathered a storm to help steer Australia to 187-3 on a rain-disrupted opening day of the second Test in Melbourne on Tuesday against a probing and resilient Pakistan attack. At stumps, he was unbeaten on a glacial 44 off 120 balls and Travis Head was not out on nine after nearly three hours' play were lost to rain. Pakistan's bowlers found plenty of movement in the overcast conditions and were rewarded with the wickets of David Warner (38), Usman Khawaja (42) and Steve Smith (26). (LIVE SCORECARD)

There was a brief rain break in between but Pakistan kept it tight after the break as well. Marnus Labuschagne survived a couple of LBW shouts but Smith didn't as he edged one to the keeper. Right now, Marnus Labuschagne looks in full control of his innings and he will hope to build a strong partnership with Head on Day 2 while Pakistan will hope to keep hitting those lengths, find some swing and get wickets as quickly as possible. Join us half an hour earlier for Day 2 at 4.30 am IST (11 pm GMT) and for the build up as well. Cheers!

A decent start to the Boxing Day Test match. Both teams will be happy at the moment. Pakistan asked Australia to bat first and once again, the veteran duo of Usman Khawaja and David Warner gave a wonderful start to their team. The ball swung both ways but Australia were disciplined while batting however, just at the stroke of Lunch, David Warner went for a big drive and edged it to slip. Pakistan started the post-lunch session on a bright note, keeping the pressure intact and got the other opener as well.

Fuller and on middle, Labuschagne uses his feet and plays it to mid on for a quick single. That will be STUMPS!
