The Australian Cricket Team has been asserting their dominance lately. Since coming off the ODI World Cup win, the Aussies engaged in two crucial clashes. While they lost the T20I series to India, they are posing a colossal challenge to the Pakistan Cricket Team for their Test series. Pakistan could not showcase a mighty spell in bowling as the hosts put up good numbers on the board. The visitors are struggling to find momentum while batting as well.

During Pakistan's innings in the 2nd Test match against Australia, captain Pat Cummins took the matter into his own hands and came to bowl. In the third ball of the 36trh over, Cummins made a peach of a delivery and dismissed Babar Azam by smashing the bails off the stumps. The former captain was left in a state of shock as the Australian team came together to celebrate the big wicket. Babar was dismissed after scoring just one run.
With the overseas situation in Australia, the Pakistan Cricket Team has failed to impress in the ongoing Test series. The visitors had a tough route as they weren't formidable enough for the Aussie bowling line-up, and the trouble seemed to continue for them.
The Australian bowling spell remained a troublesome aspect for the Pakistani batters as they lost crucial wickets on day two. Shan Masood and Babar Azam's wickets were enough to break the visitors' momentum. While Hazlewood took a four-fer, Starc secured two wickets while Cummins and Lyon took one wicket each. Pakistan ended the day at Stumps with a score of 194/6 on the board.
