With Australia taking on Pakistan in the 2nd Test at the MCG, Aussie batter Marnus Labuschagne was seen chasing away pigeons in the ground during Day 1.

With the video doing the rounds on the internet, Labuschagne was seen running after a flock of birds in the ground as play was being halted due to the pigeons.

Steve Smith was visibly not able to focus with the birds landing right behind the umpire which triggered Labuschagne to take the matter in his own hands.

Labuschagne ran after the birds with his bat, shooing away as many pigeons as he could to help in the proceedings.

While Steve Smith got dismissed at 26 courtesy of a Aamer Jamal delivery, Marnus Labuschagne continued to bat with resilience against Pakistan and took Australia near the 200-run mark.

Pakistan bowlers started the 2nd Test in a slightly better manner as the bowling attack saw Hasan Ali, Aamer Jamal and Salman Ali Agha took one wicket each to disturb the Australian top order in order to avoid another massive total put up on the board.

Australia lead 1-0

Australia have already won the 1st Test at Perth by a massive 360-run margin to take a 1-0 lead in the Test series. David Warner scored his 26th Test century in what could be his retirement Test series for the Kangaroos and silenced the critics in some fashion.

Bowlers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood would hope to continue their brilliant red ball form after they decimated the Pakistan bowling attack in the 1st Test, bowling them out at just 89 in the 4th innings.
