Stuart Broad removed David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne on back-to-back balls to start England's day on a bright note. Australia resumed the day on 14 for 0. After Warner and Labuschagne departed, Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja steadied the ship. But right before lunch on day 2, Smith feel to leave Aussies on back foot. Earlier, England found themselves in a precarious situation at 172/5 before Root and Bairstow joined forces to rescue them from that hole. Bairstow took calculated risks and unleashed his shots after tea. Nevertheless, Lyon emerged as Australia's saviour, standing out as the standout bowler with a four-wicket haul. Even Hazlewood made an impressive comeback. The England bowling attack, having chosen to go without Mark Wood on what appears to be an unresponsive pitch, now faces a significant challenge. However, let's reserve our judgment until both teams have had a chance to bowl on it.
Australia have 311 runs with 5 wickets down at Day 2 stumps.
