Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

The third day of the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan was exciting, with both teams battling it out on the field. Australia resumed on 116-2 with Labuschange and Smith continuing to score steadily and take Australia closer to Pakistan's first innings score of 313.

Labuschange and Smith added 71 runs before both Smith and Labuschange lost their wickets one after the other. Australia then managed a few small partnerships to take their score to 289 before collapsing to 299 all out giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of 14 runs.

Pakistan began their 2nd innings in the worst way possible by losing 2 quick wickets in opener Abdulla Shafiq and Captain Shan Masood both for ducks. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam then gave Pakistan some hope with a partnership of 57 before Pakistan's batting collapsed from 58-2 to 68-7 to end the day staring at defeat and missing another chance to win their 1st test in 28 years. Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995. Pakistan also has never won a test series in Australia. Pakistan are on a 16-test match losing streak in Australia and should they lose this 3rd test it will extend to 17.

Pakistan currently have a lead of 82 runs and it will be interesting to see what they can push the lead to when Rizwan and Jamal resume batting on Day 4.

Overall, it was a dominant day for Australia, who are in a strong position to win the match and complete a 3-0 series whitewash over Pakistan.
