Today, Haris Sohail and Asad Shafiq continued from where Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Hafeez left yesterday. Once again Pakistani cricket team's performance has taken a very sharp turn and now it'd be interesting to see if they're actually able to win this test match.
Overall, Pakistani batting scored 482 (for all out) in the first innings and now Aaron Finch and Usman Khawaja are out there to target a big partnership.
This test match is looking like it could be a draw as both teams are taking their time when it comes to batting on this pitch. Unless Pakistan can get a few quick wickets on day 3 then it could turn in their favour to win the match but if Australia can bat well and get close to Pakistan's 1st innings total then I think it will end in a draw. Later today is a vital day for both teams to see which team gets the upper hand in this test match.
2 days play is over and Oz are batting at 35 runs without loss. Either OZ will reach near about score of Pakistan or if it can make more than Pakistan then some interesting things can happen. Else as far the current situation is concerned we see it to be a tie unless some play a match winner role.
Australia after good opening patnership it was looking that they will make good score but after 1st wicket on they got all out in 60 runs cheaply. Pakistan lost 3 wickets for 45 runs looks like wicket is taking turn so i think if pakistan play well and take lead above 400+ will make easy to defend it.
Man, what an awesome performance by debut-maker Bilal Asif. Even though Pakistani batting line-up is struggling again in this innings, but that's not much concerning as they still have a tall 300+ runs lead. IMO, this match isn't going for a draw; Pakistanis are going to win it.
Well I said it would most likely come a draw if Australia could get close to Pakistan's 1st innings total but as they were bowled out for 202 runs and currently lead by 325 runs then Pakistan should really go on and win this test match because I can't see Australia chasing 400+ runs to win or even even draw.
