Nine has won the second day running of Australian television’s biggest ratings week of the year.

After Sunday night’s victory with the debut of Underbelly 3, the network’s more traditional fare of double helpings of Two And A Half Men put it ahead again, although Seven had the top show of the night.

Miracle At The Zoo, featuring Seven’s story of Taronga Zoo’s happy ending with its new born elephant rated an average of 1.5m viewers, according to preliminary ratings from OzTam.

Nine had a share of 26.4% to Seven’s 26.2%. For the week to date, Nine has a share of 31% to Seven’s 25.7%.
