Match Progress Update at Sydney Cricket Ground
Play was briefly halted for a scheduled drinks break.
Current weather conditions in Sydney feature bright sunshine. This contrasts with overcast conditions observed on Sunday and Monday at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
On the first day of the match, umpires initiated an early tea, and play did not resume for the remainder of the day due to insufficient light. This event has contributed to ongoing discussions regarding the scheduling of the Sydney Test in the New Year's slot. Separately, cricket commentators Michael Vaughan and Jonathan Agnew reportedly presented theories concerning the early cessation of play on day one.
Current Score
Australia has scored 467 runs for 7 wickets, holding an 83-run lead over England.
