It is summer in the Australian continent and bad weather on an odd day is usual there at this time. Weather websites had already forecasted bad weather, strong winds and heavy clouds over the city of Sydney, and all that allowed only 46 overs of cricket on Day 2.
Warner and Khawaja were in the crease on the morning of Day 2. Both looked committed to defending tight ones and were very watchful during the first overs. Aamer Jamal came to bowl and straightaway found a knick off the Warner’s bat but Saim Ayub handed a life to David Warner when he was playing at 20. Agha Salman bowled a peach of a delivery to get rid of Warner at 34.
Australia got a solid 70 runs on the board before the fall of the first wicket. Khawaja displayed courage as well as determination but was unable to consolidate his initial lead, falling victim to Jamal. Jamal was sharp in his few spurts and bowled with terrific rhythm. Labuschagne appeared to be extremely at ease and played with poise.
Due to poor light, the umpires opted to stop the play in the latter part of the afternoon session which was followed by the rain pause. It rained for quite a long so that the umpires called off the Day. As of now, Australia are trailing by 197 runs and they have 8 wickets on their hands.
