Mohammad Amir to Smith, no run, good length and viciously curves away outside off. Smith was searching for the inswinger. Beaten past the outside edge. Or not. Hotspot picks up a little white blotch. Snicko detects a spike. Sarfraz dives across to his right and takes it. Faint edge, no appeal from Pakistan, they did not pick up the tickle.... They take a catch off Amir, but it all amounts to nothing

Granted Asad reached a century by going from 97 to 100 with a 3 off the 1st ball of the last over of the day's play, but he should have protected Riaz who couldn't survive the rest of the over.
108 needed on the last day with 2 wickets remaining
Asad 100*
Yasir 4*
Test cricket at its best, good fightback by Pakistan.
In reply to Acid
I thought so too. He should've taken 2 off that first ball and face the other five balls or as many as possible. As the established bat he should've waited towards the end of the over to push for the single.
Good fight back though.
Pakistan the team that always surprises,reports suggests that the wicket quickened when they batted first time round,but wickets were lost due to lack of application all the same.If Pakistan had gone on to win,not many people would be surprised.
What a chase

Hazlewood to Yasir Shah, 3 runs, to square third man just over a leaping backward point fielder. I believe that is Lyon. He might have got fingers to it. Yasir Shah slices the drive in the air and just about manages to take it over Lyon
Pakistan need 49 runs
Gawn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!LBW

143.1
Hazlewood to Asad Shafiq, no run, that looks closer than the previous one. Huge appeal. No, says umpire Illingworth. Australia don't review. only question is height. Yes, it's missing the stumps. Fullish on off, nips back in and strikes Shafiq in front of middle.

Gawn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow !!!!!!
He bounced him out
Shafiq c Warner b Starc 138(207) [4s-13 6s-1]
144.2
Starc to Shafiq, out Caught by Warner!! And the drama is back. Too good even for the man batting at 138. Ferociuos, rather violent pace and rear off the surface squeezes out Starc getting in a well-directed bouncer
144.2
Starc to Asad Shafiq, OUT, snorter from Starc. And Australia strike. Is that the delivery that changes this Test match? The front foot is fine. Australia are pumped. Goes wide of the crease from around the wicket and directs his bouncer at Shafiq's badge. The key to that delivery was the length. It wasn't pitched too short. More a back of a length, but he was aided by the bounce in this pitch. Shafiq felt he can play instead of duck. It takes the glove and shoulder of the bat and lobs to Warner at gully who backtracks, takes a two-handed overhead catch and throws the ball miles in the air. Sensational delivery to end an even better innings. Fantastic stuff from Shafiq.
PAK 449/9 (144.2 Ovs) CRR: 3.11

Amazing effort by Pakistan.

Unbelievable stuff

Yes.
Wild shot by Yasir now
RUN OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smith pelts down the stumps
144.6
Starc to Yasir Shah, OUT, that's the end of the Test match. A lackadaisical way to end the game. The umpire gives him out on the field. A yorker on off and middle, Yasir outside-edges his flick to Smith at second slip. He is so disappointed with his shot that he continues to look at his partner in search of an impossible run. Smith, though, is quick on it and effects a direct hit at the striker's end.
Yasir Shah run out 33 (66b 4x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
144.6
Starc to Yasir Shah, out Yasir Shah Run Out!! A direct hit and what an end to an incredible Test match? Completely anti-climactic must admit. But that is exactly how the entire Test match has been. A full swivering in delivery right on the money. Yasir Shah looks happy to have managed to get some bat on it to dig it out and he gifts himself a 'well done with that' stroll in the park outside the crease. The ball in the process rolls to second slip, where Smith grabs the ball and darts it on the stumps. Catches Yasir outside the crease. Oh dear.

Aus fans desperate!
Darn. It's over.
All over !!!!!
OZ win
In reply to Narper
Was a good fight that. I feel sorry for Pakistan here.
What a brain freeze from Yasir to step out of his crease and get run out

Last ball of the over. He probably didn't have much faith in Rahat Ali's batting skills.

Pakistan makes test cricket more interesting than a "whodunit".They have played test cricket like this since as far back as I can remember.
