Ashes, 4th Test, Day 2 Live Updates: After a rain-hit opening day, Australia will be aiming for a big first innings partnership after the home team finished on 126/3 on the first day of the fourth Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday. David Warner, Marcus Harris and Marnus Labuschagne were all dismissed on the first day. At stumps, Steven Smith was batting alongside Usman Khawaja, who is playing his first match of the current series.
