END OF OVER:
53 | 6 Runs 1 Wkt | PAK: 148/10

  • Noman Ali20 (35b)
  • Mitchell Swepson9-1-32-2
  • Nathan Lyon9-5-13-1

4.10pm Pakistan all out and Australia will bat again! That is amazing. They lead by 408 runs but have opted to bat again and not send Pakistan back out. So they will bat this last session. A brilliant performance by Australia with the ball and in the field. Starc's reverse swing was awesome. Two sensational direct hits. But Pakistan's shot selection was poor it must be said. Now they will have time in the field to think about it before batting last. PDP will return for the last hour.

Paul: "Absolutely the wrong call not to enforce the follow-on"

Jarrod: "Australian captains allergic to the follow on as usual, hard to see why one wouldn't enforce it in this position. Frustrating."

Viggo: "Giving the quicks a rest. Good move."

Sam: "Good decision, score a quick 150 and then send them back in with 160-odd overs on a deteriorating pitch"

Swepson to Shaheen Shah Afridi, OUT, Given lbw! Shaheen reviews. He tried to sweep a very full leg break from off stump. It sneaked under the bat and hit the front ankle. Ultra edge confirmed he missed it. It was spinning back down the line. Ball tracking says ... clipping leg. Umpire's call. That turned more than it looked live. It's out.

Shaheen Shah Afridi lbw b Swepson 19 (26m 25b 3x4 1x6) SR: 76.00

Parrot: "Biggest partnership of the innings now... would only be the 8th biggest partnership of the AUS innings. Very poor application this Test. "
