Ashes: AUS Reach 166/2 At Stumps On Day 2 After ENG Dismissed For 384

By IANS News January 05, 2026 • 22:51 PM View: 462

Travis Head's unbeaten 91 and Marnus Labuschagne's 48 propelled Australia forward as the hosts reached 166/2 at stumps on Day 2, responding to England's 384 at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Monday.

Head, who is within touching distance of a 12th Test hundred and the third ton of this series, combined with Labuschagne for a rapid 105-run partnership in the evening session. Australia are still trailing England by 218 runs, with Head and nightwatcher Michael Neser (1*) unbeaten in the middle.
