    What's the story

    Australia outplayed England on Day 2 of the ongoing 2nd Ashes Test (Day/Night) at the Adelaide Oval.

    A defiant ton by Marnus Labuschagne headlined the first session, while Steven Smith led from the front in the following session.

    Vital contributions from Alex Carey, Mitchell Starc, and Michael Neser helped Australia post 473/9 d.

    England lost two quick wickets before stumps.

    Day 2

    How did Day 2 pan out?

    Australia resumed from their overnight score of 221/2 on Day 2.

    Labuschagne departed after reaching his century, while Smith took the hosts past 350.

    The latter shared a 91-run stand with Carey, who smashed his maiden Test half-century.

    Starc (39*) and Neser (35) powered Australia to 473/9.

    England finished on 17/2 before umpires called stumps due to the threat of a lightning strike.

    Labuschagne

    Labuschagne slammed his sixth Test hundred

    Top-order batter Labuschagne slammed his sixth hundred in Test cricket on Day 2.

    The 27-year-old got to the three-figure mark in the opening session. This was Labuschagne's first century in the Ashes.

    The former went on to smash 103 (305) with the help of 8 fours. He was dismissed by Ollie Robinson.

    Earlier, he became the fourth-fastest batter to complete 2,000 Test runs.

    Bowlers

    Starc and Neser struck in the final session

    The likes of Starc, Jhye Richardson, and Neser made the most of the pink ball after the twighlight period.
