Practically the weather in Australia is not like that it keep on raining for two days. I am hopeful that Australia will easy win this match tomorrow and with that take the series. Pakistan has a lot to learn from the mistakes in this series and the coach/ captain has some serious business on hand to get this team going.
Pakistan already lost three wickets and Australia just need less than three sessions to pick up the rest of the wickets and finish the match and their in form batsman Babar Azam is back in the pavilion and there is no hope that the rest of the players will score a big ton in the second innings, rain will be another factor as the pitch might offer more swing that will be difficult for the batsman and Australia will win the match even if rain interrupt.

Go get yourself the dictionary to understand what sarcasm means before claiming my statements "silly".
Anyways if in another match Pakistan won the toss, this is what they will choose.
Pakistan will pray for rain for the next two days so that they can draw the match, if not Australia will bowl them out pretty easily unless there is some incredible performance like we saw in the first innings from Pakistan where two players stood out when they were in deep trouble and rain is the solution for Pakistan to draw the match.Anyways if in another match Pakistan won the toss, this is what they will choose.

Root century has helped England team to save the innings and to make some decent score and still behind by 106 runs and 5 wickets remaining. The match looks much stable now and if England can take some lead it would be good for them as they have to bat in fourth innings.
Burns and Root played well and the dry run of Joe Root is over i guess as he was going through a dry patch in test matches for a long time and he was under immense pressure to perform as England was struggling too and with Root still in the crease there is a possibility that England could win the match the match but yet are still trailing by 106 runs.

Come on UmerIdrees, you can not discredit this innings buy making an excuse. Scoring that many runs only possible when you are in your top shape and all credit goes to Warner.
Don't bother replying to such silly statements Royse. Go get yourself the dictionary to understand what sarcasm means before claiming my statements "silly".

Don't bother replying to such silly statements Royse. Majority of the world including me always had faith in Warner from the beginning and that is all that matters really. It felt great to see his wife watching and getting emotional over his record.They(Warner and Smith) went through such a terrible phase and bounced back in a breath-taking fashion. What would Australia be without the golden trio(Warner, Smith and Starc)? Absolute legends in my opinion.

edit : Rain saved the day for Pakistan.
I don't know why but sometimes the rain in a cricket match looks so good
Umer , Who is fawad Alam? Commentator (Wasim & Co) were talking about him that he's consistent player in domestic cricket but don't get chance in the Pakistan Test squad..
Fawad Alam is a pakistani cricketer who was born in October 8, 1985 and is of 34 years of age. He played his last ODI in 2015 against Bangladesh. He haven't been given much chance in the team. He played only three test matches with an average of around 40 runs. I don't know how Wasim $ co. can judge a player who has a limited international test exposure.

Oz is leading the test match as Pakistan have lost 3 quick wickets in second innings for just 28 runs . This means that they require another 258 runs to make Oz bat in second innings and then above 258 they will have a lead . So most likely Oz might win this test match easily .

Pardon me but Warner is now scoring against Pakistan and all the players can score against Pakistan looking at their performance of their current team.
I would still like to see his performance against England, NewZealand or India to have the full confidence in him.

Good comeback buddy. Sorry for the low confidence I had in you.
lol Consider msz received! Not long ago, very recent past, in Ashes when Warner was not getting runs every one including me was saying it's time to replace him, why the management is not placing someone else instead of him and so many negative things.
Now everyone including those and including me (!) can not deny the truth that the Australian management was right to have faith in Warner.

Everything was going his way and I honestly expected Warner to cross Lara's record, but Paine messed everything up. Another 10 overs and Warner would have probably crossed the line. In this case, individual record should have been favored over the team since Aus is most likely going to win anyway.
Warner could have taken over the highest individual score if they did not declare but we can only speculate as it is not that easy as he could have been tired too as he was playing a very long innings but what surprised me was that Pakistan batted really well from 96 for 6 they were able to score over 300 runs which i never expected and two players scored century and one of them was a tail end batsman but still it is difficult for them to even draw this match as they are forced to follow on.
Tim Paine took a wrong decision in my opinion. Luck favored Warner in this match(Survived thanks to no-ball, edges went past the slips etc) and you could basically see him smiling whenever he survived in such instances.

Well this proves to me that Pakistan were not getting the ball in the right areas like I suspected because Australia have taken 6 wickets already and like I said in here, the night session has always been the best session for bowling. Pakistan were just not getting the ball to do much in the first night session but look what Australia have been able to achieve even on a flat pitch. Australia will most likely win this match with an innings and runs just like the first test match.
The pink ball seems to be causing a lot of problem to the batsmen, especially against the quicker bowlers. The same happened with Bangladesh, when they were facing the Indian pacers at the Eden Gardens. I would rate the Australian pace triad (Starc/Hazlewood/Cummins) as the best in the world right now, and the Pakistani batsmen didn't had any chance against them.
How is it possible that Pink ball cause trouble to Pakistani Batsmen and no trouble to the Australians. I think this is just lame excuses and i admit it openly that Pakistan team is one of the weakest team and stand no chance in test matches against the Australians.
That's my point, the ball didn't have much effect on Australia in the night session where Pakistan struggled in the night session. Like I said Pakistan was no bowling the ball in the right spots to trouble the Australian batsman.
Its good to see Pakistan fight back and I think Australia will bat again now that Pakistan have scored over 250 and they could get close to 300 run if they bat well for the last 2 wickets. Maybe then Pakistan can put Australia under pressure tonight when they will most likely bat again or Australia could just put Pakistan back into bat in the night session.
