Australia v. Pakistan. Tests.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

looking like this is setting in too and be surprised if any more play today.

[Donny]

Australia trails Pakistan by 141 runs with 8 wickets remaining.

Labu 52*, Smith 31*.

[Donny]

3/187. Smith 38.

Labu 60*.

[Pies4shaw]

5/211. Marnus went for 60 (from 147 balls), after Warner made 34 from 68, Special K made 47 from 143 and BradSmith made 38 from 86. Head has recently gone for 10 (from 29 balls). Marsh is 13 from 38 balls. The pitch is so slow it is beyond tedious to watch.

This is, apparently, an attempt to rectreate sub-continental conditions. That attempt should be ended, forthwith.

[Donny]

5/252. Marsh 31*, Carey 21*.

Oz 61 behind.

[Pies4shaw]

5/289. Marsh 50*.

[Pies4shaw]

Carey bowled for 48. 6/289. That's Tea.

Correction - Carey made 38. Typo.

[Donny]

The deficit is 23 runs. Marsh 50*.

[Donny]

All out 299. Marsh 54, Jamal 6/69.

[Donny]

Starc !! You beauty. Shafique. Bowled 'im !! 1/0.

As Smuthy said: "An absolute peach.

[Donny]

Now, the Haz strikes, second ball. Their Skip, Shan Masood feathers to Carey.

Pak. 2/1.

[Donny]

After 2 unsuccessful reviews, Lyon claims Saim Ayub, lb for 33.

3/59.

[Donny]

Head job. Gets an edge. Carey gloves it. Babar for 23.

4/60.

[Pies4shaw]

And, then, Hazlewood went W0W0W0 and Pakistan were suddenly 7/67. They were 2/58, so they've lost 5/10 since that point.

And at Stumps, they've started building the recovery partnership. 7/68. Hazlewood has 4/9. The lead is 82 (which may be enough - the wicket is despicable).

[What'sinaname]

Weird pitch. The divot on the ball that got Smith would make a tour golfer proud.
