Speeding bus mows down pedestrian at MG Road more, driver flee
During the second day of the 2nd Test between Australia and Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the crowd was treated to a lively moment as Australian batter Travis Head engaged in some warm-up stretches while fielding at the boundary. Head's energetic moves resonated with the spectators, leading to a spirited response from the crowd.
The video of Head's stretching session quickly went viral on social media, drawing attention not only from the fans but also eliciting amusement from cricket commentators Adam Gilchrist and Wasim Akram.
Despite Travis Head's efforts to energize the crowd, his performance with the bat fell short as he managed only 17 runs before being dismissed on day 2. Australia, having resumed their innings with Head and Marnus Labuschagne, faced a resilient bowling display from Pakistan. Aamer Jamal stood out among the Aussie bowlers, finishing with figures of 3 wickets for 64 runs, helping restrict Australia to a total of 318. Mitchell Marsh provided a notable contribution with 41 runs from 60 balls.
Nathan Lyon's breakthrough by dismissing Imam-ul-Haq before the Tea break marked Australia's initial success on day 2, with Labuschagne leading the batting charts with 63 runs. The first day had seen Australia finishing at 187-3, with intermittent showers affecting play but the hosts managing to secure a promising position.
