AUS vs PAK LIVE Score: Australia will look to continue their dominance on Day 2 of the AUS vs PAK 1st Test match. David Warner’s 164 off 211 balls meant that the Aussies finished on 346/5 on Day 1. At stumps, Mitchell Marsh (15) and Alex Carey (14) were at the crease for the home side. And they will look to extend the team’s total past the 500-run mark. On the other hand, Pakistan cricket team will aim to restrict the damage and try to bundle the Australian side under the 450-run mark.
It wasn’t a great day for Pakistani bowling unit. Shaheen Afridi was off colour with just the wicket of Usman Khawaja. Aamer Jamal scalped two wickets on Day 1 but was expensive, going at 5.25 economy rate.
The visitors will need to buckle up on Day 2 with quick wickets to have any chance in the AUS vs PAK 1st Test. For Australia, Marsh and Carey will want to carry on the momentum. The likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and even Josh Hazlewood are also quite handy with the bat as the lower order will also look to contribute for their side to post a mammoth total on the board.
