LEEDS:
Australia were 136 for two in their second innings, a deficit of 34 runs, when bad light stopped play on the second day of the second Test against Pakistan at Headingley on Thursday.

Australia captain Ricky Ponting was 61 not out and Michael Clarke 32 not out.


Earlier, Pakistan were bowled out for 258 in reply to Australia's 88, a first innings lead of 170.

Shane Watson took six wickets for 33 runs - the second time in as many matches the medium-pacer had taken career-best figures after his five for 40 in Australia's 150-run first Test victory at Lord's last week.
