AUS vs PAK 2nd Test (Source: Twitter)
Travis Head engages the crowd, Hasan Ali makes the Australian fans grove to his dance moves; We have seen many lively moments at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) during the ongoing second Test between Australia and Pakistan. Another incident also caught the attention of the MCG crowd, but this time it was unrelated to the on-field actions.

While fans are usually delighted to see them on the big screen at the match venue, that was not the case for the couple at the MCG. On Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test, the cameraman focused on a couple watching the match in the stands. But as the guy was sitting with a towel on his lap while the girl was leaning on him, they were embarrassed to see themselves on the big screen.
The crowd started roaring as soon as they saw the couple on the giant screen. This drew the attention of the two, who were cuddling in a relatively empty stand, and immediately separated in shock. The hilarious moment came in the seventh over of Pakistan's first innings on Wednesday.

Pakistan back into the game with the wickets of Marsh and Smith
Talking about the match, Australia have taken a lead of 241 runs for the loss of six wickets in the second innings. Pakistan bowlers were on fire on Day 3 as they reduced the hosts to 16/4 at one stage. However, Mitchell Marsh's sensational knock pulled them out of danger. The right-hander fell just four runs short of his fourth Test century but put his team in a safe position. Steve Smith, batting at the other end, had a tough time in the middle, but fought hard to notch up a half-century.
Smith's wicket on the last ball before the stumps gave Pakistan a slight edge. The game is currently in the balance and the visitors will want to wrap up the Australian innings quickly on Day 4 to have a say in the match.
