The final day of what’s turned out to be an interesting second Test between Australia and Pakistan gets underway at 4pm AEDT. Join The Roar for live scores.
Just when this Test looked like being Australia’s for the taking, Pakistan have shown incredible grit and determination to take this into a fifth day and they still have eight wickets in hand.
Steve Smith will be hoping his dropped catch of captain Babar Azam when the home side was 2 for 38 won’t come back to haunt the Aussies.
Pakistan have since batted with purpose and skill to take the score to 2 for 192 and while saving the Test is their first priority the longer this current partnership goes the long shot of a Pakistan victory is still not entirely out of the question.
Azam and Abdullah Shafique (71 not out from 226 balls) have coped with the pitch which is offering plenty especially from the rough outside the right handers leg stump.
You’d expect at least a couple of deliveries to do something dramatic and grab a few wickets for the Aussies but they need to take their chances as Pakistan is choosing the right balls to defend.
The key for the Aussies on Day 5 is patience. As we saw on Day 3 wickets can fall very quickly and they’ll need to cling onto that hope if the match appears to be drifting.
It’s Pakistan vs Australia. It’s Day 5 of Test Cricket and it’s the good kind of Day 5 when we have no idea what’s going to happen.

Agree DR. If Babar was given out LBW to Lyon, which he bloody well should have been, then we would have been right into them with plenty of time left. The flood gates opened once Babar fell and only Rizwan's brilliant performance held them together. Given more time at the lower order it might have been a very different result Very little mention of the Azhar dismissal that he failed ot review. That guy can bat all day and so it probably evens out. That's cricket

Pakistan were going to bat long in their second dig regardless if it was the third or fourth innings of the match.

Made that comment when they were 7/100 in 1st innings fell asleep didn’t refresh page. Bloody elephant brain :thumbup:

Pakistan would've batted worse in their second dig had the follow on been enforced. They had 22 overs to regroup as a batting team. And regroup they did. Had they been sent back in they would've been in a less solid frame of mind for the fight. Great moments in sport are not the physical acts but the tactical nous on how to bring a winning move.

Here’s another test match at the SCG where we dropped a few. Apparently 4 were shelled on the final day. Unbelievable eh? https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/india-in-australia-2020-21-1223867/australia-vs-india-3rd-test-1223871/match-report

I love the Bunsen burner games - make batting an absolute lottery. I can recall when we were absolutely reamed by Herath in Sri Lanka. Mind you there was also that first test in India where SOK took 13(?) and we won so they can be risky for the home team.

It can be hard reading with one eye. I'll save you the time. They dropped a few more than none catches in Sydney.

Cummins thought they will demolish Pakistan in one day's play hence not enforced the follow-on in the third day, he must be repenting now.

Absolutely.

It will haunt him for a long time. He won't know whether to enforce it out not when the next opportunity arises

To avoid batting in the fourth inning, Cummins not enforced follow-on, the result is in front of us. To win a Test match you can not play too safely.
13th Man
Roar Rookie
Correct, they would have comfortably chased a modest total in the last session. Absolute madness not to enforce the follow on.
13th Man
Roar Rookie
It's the fault of poor catching and a captain with no tactical acumen.
13th Man
Roar Rookie
With Head not looking great so far this series I don't think they can roll the dice on Agar at 7. Green actually looked our most threatening bowler at times in this last test. I'm probably leaning towards Starc and Sweppo out for Agar and Boland
13th Man
Roar Rookie
If I'm Pakistan i'm producing an absolute Bunsen Burner at Lahore. Our Spinners don't look good enough (I'd try Agar next test personally) and there batsmen play spin better than ours.

At the end both Australia and Pakistan both lost vital 8 Test Championship points, due to one mistake of Cummins of neglecting Pakistan after their first inning collapse.

Usually is and usually too long.
