Australia reached 187-3 at stumps on the opening day of the second Test against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Tuesday.
The Boxing Day Test was affected by rain which is why only 66 overs were bowled during the day.
Marnus Labuschagne (44) and Travis Head (9) will resume batting for the home side on the second day.
Aamer Jamal claimed the prized scalp of Steve Smith, who scored 26 runs, after the rain delay.
Agha Salman and Hasan Ali bagged one wicket each.
Rain delay
The second Test between Pakistan and Australia resumed after a nearly three-hour-long rain delay.
The match was interrupted due to rain during the second session on the first day.
Australia were 114-2 as early tea was taken with Marnus Labuschagne (14) and Steve Smith (2) out in the middle.
The only wicket to fall during the second session was that of opener Usman Khawaja, who scored 42 runs before being dismissed by pacer Hasan Ali.
First session
Australia reached 90-1 at lunch on the first day of the second Test against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Tuesday.
Agha Salman struck at the stroke of lunch to dismiss opener David Warner for 38.
Earlier, Pakistan captain Shan Masood won the toss and opted to bowl in the second Test.
The hosts are looking to seal the three-Test series after thumping the visitors by 360 runs in Perth, and go into the game with an unchanged side.
Pakistan preferred Mohammad Rizwan to keep wicket ahead of Sarfaraz Ahmed while fast bowlers Mir Hamza and Hasan Ali both play after being overlooked for the first Test.
They come in for injured paceman Khurram Shahzad and Faheem Ashraf, who was axed.
It means an all-pace attack led by the experienced Shaheen Shah Afridi and impressive newcomer Aamer Jamal, with no room for a specialist spinner.
"Just looking at the MCG pitch over the past few years and the bowling side has done well, and there´s been a bit of weather around," Masood said of choosing to field.
After heavy rain on Christmas Day, the weather had cleared Tuesday, although afternoon showers are forecast.
Australia skipper Pat Cummins said he too would have bowled.
"We all pulled up really well after Perth. We´re in the fortunate position where everyone is going pretty well," he said in explaining why the team was unchanged.
Pakistan have performed poorly in Australia, losing 15 Tests on the trot with their last win in 1995.
