The SCG is alive with pink on Jane McGrath Day as Australia look to take control of the fifth and final Test.
Travis Head raced to 91 in the final session of Day 2, while Jake Weatherald (21) and Marnus Labuschagne (48) will be ruing missed opportunities for series-defining big scores that would alleviate pressure on their spots.
Michael Neser came out as nightwatchmen and Australia will be relying on their depth to put up a giant score.
Ben Stokes will resume the bowling with five balls remaining in his over after teams were taken off during the final over thanks to rain.
