Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 2 Review

 Australia and Pakistan ended  Day 2 of the third test match evenly poised. The Australian team started the day with a score of 6-0 and looked to continue reducing their 307-run first innings trail. The Australian opener David Warner was given a lifeline as he was dropped early in the slips. Still, Pakistan managed to get his wicket just before lunch as the introduced part-time off-spinner Agha Salman did the trick.

After Lunch, not much play was possible as Australia resumed on 78-1 and only played a further 17 overs scoring 38 runs and losing the wicket of Usman Khawaja as rain washed out the rest of the Day. Australia ended the day on 116-2 with Labuschange 23 off 66 not out and Steve Smith 6 off 7 not out still at the crease. They trail Pakistan's first innings score by 197 runs. 

Australia will be hoping that Labuschange and Smith can extend their partnership and convert it into a big match-winning one that will help bat Pakistan out of the match. Pakistan on the other end will be hoping their bowlers can pick up early wickets tomorrow and they can bowl Australia out as soon as possible and take a first-innings lead into their 2nd innings. 

Overall Australia and Pakistan will be hoping for better weather conditions on Day 3 and both will look to make progress and take advantage in this test match.
