Australia finished Day 2 of the Second Ashes Test in a strong position after racing to 6/378 from just 73 overs, taking a 44-run lead over England. Jake Weatherald set the tone with a vibrant maiden Test fifty, supported by contributions from Labuschagne, Smith, and Green — though none went on to a defining score. England’s wayward bowling and five dropped catches kept Australia surging ahead, while Alex Carey and Michael Neser’s unbeaten stand closed a dominant day. Despite the advantage, Australia missed a chance to fully bury England, leaving the match finely poised heading into Day 3.
