AUS vs PAK: After a scintillating efficiency with the ball on Day 2, Australia captain Pat Cummins didn’t put the foot off the paddle as he grabbed a sensational five-wicket haul in the Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test. The two groups are going through one another in the Boxing Day Test on the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground with the Aussies having a 1-0 lead in the three-match collection.Â
While defending their first-innings rating of 318, Cummins introduced out a magic wizard from his armoury to dent Pakistan’s hope in the primary innings. He removed Babar Azam with a ‘dream ball’ on Day 2 that jagged again in to beat the previous Pakistan skipper via the gates and rattle the stumps. He displayed one other jaffa of supply on the morning of Day 3 as he took a tenth five-wicket haul in Tests.Â
Pakistan had been at 255/8 in the primary session when Cummins obtained Hasan Ali as his fifth scalp with an exquisite supply. The Aussie skipper bowled a size supply which jagged in after pitching approach outdoors the off stump. Hasan couldn’t observe the seam motion and had a giant hole between his bat and the pad because the ball broke his off-stump.Â
