Pakistan Finds Relief as Jamal's Bowling Shines on Day Two
Pakistan experienced a resurgence in the Perth Test against Australia on the second day, thanks to an impressive performance by debutant Amer Jamal. After David Warner's brilliant century on the first day propelled Australia to a commanding position, Jamal's exceptional bowling display brought relief for the visitors.
Jamal made a significant impact by claiming 4 of Australia's last five wickets, marking the first time in 56 years that a touring bowler took 6 wickets on debut on Australian soil. His remarkable effort contributed to Australia being bowled out for 487 in the first innings, with Jamal finishing the day with figures of 6 wickets for 111 runs.
In response, Pakistan's batting displayed resilience, with openers Abdullah Shafiq and Imam-ul-Haq forming a solid partnership of 74 runs. However, Nathan Lyon, making a Test return after almost 5 months, broke the partnership by dismissing Shafiq, who scored 42 runs.
Undeterred, Imam joined forces with new captain Shaun Masood, forming another crucial partnership. However, Masood's departure at 123 runs added to Pakistan's challenges. The day concluded with the dismissal of Pakistan's captain by Mitchell Marsh for 30 runs, marking the last wicket of the day.
Closing the second day at 132 for 2, Pakistan found themselves in a more comfortable position. Imam remained unbeaten on 38 runs, accompanied by Khurram Shehzad at 7 runs. The visitors ended the day with a sense of relief, looking forward to building on their solid performance in the remaining innings.
