Australia will be kicking themselves for that first innings collapse.

Think Pakistan would have been more circumspect second innings, to end in a draw, anyways.

 

[Creag]

They would need a new world record to win this.

They do. But they are not going to roll over either. A draw would be just like a win for the Aussie here.

Pakistan 482 & 181/6d
Australia 202 & 215/3 * (79 ov, target 462)

Khawaja 82*
Head 70*

Day 5: Tea Break

AUS 289/5

Australia need 173 runs from 31 overs

 

[NeonNinja]

If they were maybe 3 down. Would've gone for it.

 

[Agent_Smith]

6 overs left and 2 wickets needed. Tooooit finish!

Saved! All thanks to the mammoth contribution of Tim Paine. Respect.

Could've been even more nervy. Ump apparently missed an inside edge (albeit a feint one) which ballooned from the pad to short leg. 9 down with 1 and a bit overs to go could've been interesting!

I wonder why they didn't review it. Right though. Small things like that make a big difference to the match outcome.

Fresh out of reviews. I can imagine the Pakistanis were howling!

Ultraedge didn't show any spike

 

[Dan C]

Well done to the Aussies for hanging in there.

Ah yes, that is the case. The commentary for that delivery must've been updated after I'd read it.

I was watching at the time. Looked really close in real time, but ended up being a great call from the ref

I was about to rejoice that one test match ends and another begins immediately after. But watching the Windies is like having a first year dentist student remove 4 wisdom teeth in the chair without anesthesia. Because there is nothing else, it'll have to do.

Day 1: Tea Break

WI 197/6

Gutted for Holder. Courageous innings. Again he shows up the inept top/middle order. Great partnership Chase.
