As the second day got wound up in Brisbane, Australia has carried their innings with a well paced response keeping the scores at 221/4. Steven Smith, making his captaincy debut, stood the crease at stumps with 65 runs, sending out notions of witnessing a captain’s knock.

Trailing the opponent score by 408 runs, Australians kept the innings at a good pace though wickets fell at regular intervals. David Warner, the dual-ton scorer in Adelaide, hiked the Australian pace with some resounding shots.

But the left-hander failed to put up yet another massive score against his name as he fell early with his score reaching at 29, from 28 balls, which was also the initial breakthrough for the visiting team.
