SCORE: Pakistan 313 (Mohammad Rizwan 88, Pat Cummins 5-61), Australia 2-116 (Usman Khawaja 47, Salman Ali Agha 1-18)
SUMMARY: Pakistan's catching woes resurfaced early on day two when debutant Saim Ayub spilt David Warner in the slips cordon and gave the retiring opener an extra life. But Warner (34) failed to make the tourists pay, adding only 14 more to his total before being caught at first slip by Babar Azam just before lunch. The veteran ball-striker admonished himself as he left the pitch to a standing ovation from his home crowd. Usman Khawaja's streak of SCG Test centuries came to an end at three when he was caught from the bowling of Aamir Jamal, who looked the most dangerous of the Pakistani quicks. Australia's hopes of beefing up their total on a good SCG wicket were brought to a halt by bad light and then rain, with play stopped just before 2.30pm.

PLAYER OF THE MOMENT: Warner may not have gone on with things as he would have hoped, but he was undoubtedly the man of the moment on Thursday. A crowd of more than 20,000 turned out to watch the 37-year-old resume at the crease on day two and he looked in fine touch, particularly facing Hasan Ali, who struggled to find consistent line and length. Warner will look at the innings as a missed opportunity, and the amount of time he gets in the middle during the second innings will depend on both Sydney's inclement weather and the total Pakistan set their hosts.
STAT OF THE DAY: Khawaja's 47 runs brought him to 5224 for his career and into the top 100 for most Test runs ever scored. Steve Smith, Virat Kohli, David Warner, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Dean Elgar are among the active players to have scored more than Khawaja, who is currently in 99th place in the rankings.
