*Official* Australia in Pakistan 2022

[trundler]

One more before close please

Haven't been watching but sounds like it was reversing, so why take the new ball now?

 

[morgieb]

Would be happy if I were Pakistan. I guess if you wanted a benefit for Australia it's that they didn't lose that many wickets. This is a key partnership.

 

[trundler]

Yeah, happy with that. Kept the run rate in check unlike the first two tests. Hopefully they get bowled out for under 320.

 

[CricAddict]

Looks like Starc might be a handful on this pitch.

would definitely back him to concede more than a handful of runs

I just watched the highlights and was probably a bit unfair earlier, the conditions in the morning seemed to allow for new ball swing and then things quietened down and became very asian in terms of building runs...and then it started to reverse and Naseem bowled beautifully. If Pakistan get Australia for less than 350 then it is game on!

It's game on even its 350.

Remember that time in Scooby doo 2 when they started swapping bodies. Think the same happened with TPC and Root since the start of last year.

Root didn't make his 50s off 150+ balls

350 looks very far off given they have their last recognized pair at the crease right now...pakistan can of course help move the score along by dropping catches at regular intervals...

 

[Chrish]

Even when not in form, Smith seems to be able to grind out boring, disgusting fifties.. Has there ever been a more resilient player who just wouldn’t let it go?

 

[Spark]

Carey looks to have started well here. Found a nice tempo.

 

[trundler]

Carey looks languid like Khawaja. Can't afford a sixth wicket partnership given we have Nauman at #7.

 

[trundler]

50 partnership. Nothing happening with ball. Gentle half volley central.

 

[trundler]

That's putrid, Hasan

 

[OverratedSanity]

Very good start from these two

 

[Prince EWS]

Very good start from these two

Outstanding performance from both batsmen so far.

This is one of the great partnerships

This is one of the great partnerships

I hope the good people of Pakistan are really enjoying this rare treat.
