We are all set for Day 2! The umpires walk out to the middle followed by the players of Pakistan. David Warner walks out alongside Usman Khawaja to resume his overnight stay on what looks like quite a muggy morning in Sydney. It will be Mir Hamza to begin proceedings with the ball on Day 2.

Pakistan maybe 2-0 down and may have lost the series but with every Test counting for something given the WTC format, they will feel they have a real chance of winning this game but will need to pick up wickets with the new ball as once the ball gets soft, there's not much in the pitch for the bowlers. The scene is set for a riveting Day 2 and at the end of the day's play, we might see which side has it's nose in front. Stick around as the cricketing action isn't far away.

In front of a 34,000 plus crowd inside the SCG, the Aussies delivered a terrific bowling performance in the first half of Day 1 but were punished for persisting with the short-ball tactics later in the day and they let a huge advantage slip. With the bat, they faced just one over which David Warner negotiated well but it will be a test for the openers early on Day 2. There are plenty of runs to be scored though once you get past the first few overs.

Hello and welcome to the Sydney Cricket Ground for Day 2 of the 3rd and final Test match between Australia and Pakistan. The 'Pink Test' started off with a bang on Day 1 and there was more than enough entertainment available to keep even the T20 enthusiasts engrossed. As Day 2 begins, all eyes will be fixated on a certain southpaw who is also the hometown boy and is playing his final Test match.

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, Australia are 307 runs behind and will begin their innings fresh on Day 2 with their two openers. David Warner will once again be in the spotlight but so will this whole game as Pakistan will try to come hard at the Aussies and pick up early wickets. Join us on Thursday at 5 am IST (11.30 pm GMT) for all the action. However, you can also catch our build-up to Day 2 which will begin a lot sooner. Cheers!

After the Lunch interval, Mohammad Rizwan shifted gears extremely well and took on Nathan Lyon which allowed Agha Salman to settle in and the pair put on 96 big runs to get Pakistan out of trouble. However, Australia came back strongly and picked up wickets right before Tea and Rizwan fell short of a hundred by 12 runs. There was some resistance after Tea but once again skipper Pat Cummins ripped through the next three wickets in quick succession, leaving Pakistan at 227/9. With everything stacked against him, Aamer Jamal played one of the knocks of the series as he went on a rampage on scored 82 runs before eventually bowing out.

Day 1 started with Shan Masood opting to bat first on a ground where the average first innings total was above 400 runs in recent times but there was early movement for the pacers and the likes of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood took advantage of that. Each of them picked up a wicket in the first over and Pakistan lost both their openers for a duck each. Babar Azam and Shan Masood then looked good but the Australian skipper came in and sent Babar packing with a big indipper. The battle though became exciting when Shan Masood and Mohammad Rizwan started to counter attack. Mitchell Marsh broke that stand too and Pakistan had to rebuild again.

That's it, David Warner has successfully negotiated the over and he walks back to a big round of applause from his family, his teammates and the whole 34,000-plus SCG crowd. What an engrossing day of Test cricket we have just witnessed and after a lot of ebbs and flows, it will be Pakistan who will go into Day 2 with a much more positive mindset as they really got out of a hole and posted a decent score on the board.

Sajid Khan to David Warner, And that's a wrap for the first day! Fuller and wide outside off, David Warner lunges ahead and defends it straight back to the bowler. He gets a huge reception and roar for that. And it's Stumps on Day 1.

Sajid Khan to David Warner, Oh, how has that missed the stumps? On a fuller length at the sticks, David Warner moves back and gets a bottom edge which goes off the pads and just bounces over the stumps. Warner had no idea where that one went but he will be very happy to have survived there.

Sajid Khan to David Warner, Fuller and aiming at the off stump, David Warner strides ahead and defends it to cover.
