A rain-curtailed day that kicked off with a glimmer of hope for the visitors turned into a nightmarishly long, tormenting one by the end of the third session. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of Day 2, starting from 2pm AEDT.
Pakistan arrived in Adelaide with a point to prove and tables to turn. They got off to a promising start as Shaheen Afridi entrenched Joe Burns behind the stumps to get the tourists underway.
Since then, however, Pakistan looked listless in the field and the early breakthrough began to seem like a distant memory, pretty quickly.
David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne combined to build the foundation of what was to take shape of a historic partnership some hours later.
For the second time in as many Test innings, David Warner stole the limelight through some eye-catching strokeplay.
For a change, Pakistan decided to emulate England’s tactics and bowl to Warner from round-the-wicket angle.
The returning Mohammad Abbas kept things tight around the corridor of uncertainty at the start of innings, but as soon as Warner had gotten a couple of drives away, he looked impeccable and well-set for yet another big one.
His partner in crime, Labuschagne survived a scare on his very first delivery when Shaheen was on song.
From then onward, however, there was no looking back for the youngster who seems to have scaled new batting heights out of the blue.
He averaged a mediocre 34 in First Class Cricket before getting a maiden call-up to the national set up.
Of late, he has been in as good a nick as Steve Smith and is, in fact, leading the runs chart for this calendar year in Test Cricket.
Labuschagne was highly impressive during this year’s Ashes but one thing that was frequently brought out was his century drought and his inability of making it big.
The right-handed bat has now notched up two centuries in a row and he is definitely not finished just yet.
He kept binding his time and finding his touch at the start of the innings before eventually obtaining the flow and going on a boundary spree.
The currently on-going partnership of 294 runs between the pair is already the highest in pink-ball Tests, so far.
Not only that, but it is also the highest second-wicket partnership at the Adelaide Oval and the highest in Australia-Pakistan Tests, too.
Despite the persistent showers robbing the day’s play of 17 overs, Australia managed to keep up with a terrific run rate and are now comfortably seated at 1-302.
As for Pakistan and their bowling effort, they have been clueless through a major chunk of the day. They haven’t bowled in the channel for long enough and their lines and lengths have been wayward.
The debutant, Musa Khan, couldn’t find his rhythm and was off the radar in the majority of his overs.
Yasir Shah, on the other hand, went the journey much like his previous visit to the Australian shores. His economy rate column currently displays a dreadful reading of 6.21 from the 14 overs that he has bowled in the innings.
Pakistan’s ordinariness with the ball was also not complimented by the overcast conditions overhead and a brand new pink cherry in hand.
There was almost nothing off this Adelaide deck that played true to the liking of the Australians. It looked like carelessness from either of the two batsmen would be the only factor that might bring upon an abrupt halt to this prolonged misery.
Just a reminder that the world’s best Test batsman is still padded up in the dressing room and waiting to march out and make amends for the Brisbane aberration.
Pakistan may have already been batted out of the game but they would need to show utmost character and bravery to put up a fight and at least give themselves some sort of chance.
Otherwise, they may not be too far away from their fifth consecutive Test series whitewash Down Under.
Don’t forget to tune in to The Roar for our coverage of Day 2 of this 2nd Test between Australia and Pakistan.
