Joe Root’s masterclass century headlined day two of the Ashes Sydney Test, steering England to a competitive first-innings total of 384 all out. The former England captain showcased exceptional composure and skill, converting his overnight score into a stellar 160 runs—his second ton of the series—earning a well-deserved standing ovation at the SCG. However, England’s strong position was quickly undermined by Jamie Smith, whose "horrific" and "dismal" dismissal to a poor shot off part-time spinner Marnus Labuschagne sparked immediate controversy and widespread criticism from cricket pundits, leaving fans frustrated with the team's questionable decision-making.

Australia's reply was both swift and aggressive, launching a strong fightback in the evening session. Although Captain Ben Stokes managed to claim the only two wickets for England, including the crucial dismissal of Usman Khawaja, the hosts dominated the final hours. Travis Head was particularly destructive, smashing an unbeaten 91 runs off just 87 balls. Australia closed the day at 166-2, trailing by 218 runs. Head’s dominant display has put the pressure back on England’s bowlers, setting the stage for a compelling Day 3 in the Sydney Ashes Test, as Australia looks to close the deficit rapidly.
