Day 2: Tea Break – Another session dominated by Pakistan

ABU DHABI (DNA) – Another session dominated by Pakistan. Top order lead by Fakhar Zaman take the lead to 188.

Earlier today, Australia, resuming at 20-2, were dismissed for 145 in their first innings on the second day of the second Test against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi.

Mohammad Abbas (5-33) and Bilal Asif (3-23) rocked Australia as they conceded a big 137-run lead over Pakistan’s first innings total of 282.

Opener Aaron Finch (39) and Mitchell Starc (34) were the main Australian run-getters.

Earlier on Tuesday, debutant opener Fakhar Zaman and skipper Sarfraz Ahmed missed hundreds by six runs each but still revived Pakistan on the first day of the second and final Test.

Fakhar and Sarfraz scored 94 each and helped Pakistan recover from 57-5 to a total of 282 after winning the toss and electing to bat on a slow turning pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

Before the close Pakistan grabbed two wickets, including that of Usman Khawaja for three, as Australia finished on 20-2, with Aaron Finch on 13 and nightwatchman Peter Siddle dismissed off the last ball of the day for four.
