Pakistan were bowled out for 271 on the second day to try to make up Australia's wall lead. And the Australian team went into bat on the third day with a lead of 216 runs in the first innings, and they are in great form. This ICC World Cup winning Australia team has been playing brilliantly in their Test matches and with the way they are performing against Pakistan, we can say for sure that they will win this first Test match. If Pakistan team cannot stop Australia from a huge score in today's match, then Pakistan must lose against Australia on the second day as well. Till the last minute we think Australia can give a good lead to Pakistan and this lead Pakistan team may not be able to fill. At this moment, Australia has given a trial of 265 runs with the loss of two wickets.

This all is usual business for the Pakistani team as they have never been groomed for playing in Australia against quality bowling just because of this Pakistan never won against them for long time even after hammering by David Warner they have done good comeback, but their batting again bring them down, and now they are going to face another huge defeat in this test match.

Currently, we have Khawaja and Smith on crease from 5 for 2 to 70 for 2 is good recovery from these both batsmen now we have just 12 overs remaining in this day's play Australia could be 300+ after three days and then tomorrow they will add 100 to 125 runs and this could be enough for them to win this test match and having lead in this series with next test match is going to play on Boxing Day at Melbourne.

Once again Pakistan's batting failed and no player make remarkable runs after a successful Australia inining of 487 runs. Pakistan team should needs at least 400 runs then they would be able to compete. IIn the beginning, the openers were very good. Imam-ul-Haq batted very well Although his world performance was poor. Imam-ul-Haq is an experienced batsman, he played his role by scoring 62 runs but later the wickets fell very quickly. And no one scored more than 40 runs. Australia is looking so strong now.

Pakistan middle order collapsed on the 3rd day. 6 wickets gone for only 200+ runs, the current situation is bad for Pakistan. They would need 70 more odd runs to avoid follow on and the last known batter they have is Saud Shakeel. If he gets out then Pakistan would be in big trouble. I wasn't expecting Babar Azam to bat so poorly, he only got 21 runs today.

Pakistan came at the last minute and got all out under the pressure of the wicket. In fact, I think Pakistan team players do not have the endurance to play Test matches, because they could not stay on the field for a long time. Nathan Layon took 3 wickets alone, Pakistan managed to score only 271 runs in the last minute under the pressure of Australia bowling. In the first innings, Pakistan team is behind a lot and going into the next match, Pakistan team will surely face a lot of pressure.

I agree with you. Pakistani batsmen do not have the patience to survive at the crease in Test format. This pitch was not bowling friendly. The batsmen could easily score runs. But the Pakistani batsmen cannot take advantage of the batting friendly pitch. The team managed to collect only 271 runs. A score of at least 350 runs was likely to make the match competitive. It seems impossible that Pakistan will make a comeback in the second innings after trailing by 216 runs. Because their opponent is a strong Australian team. Australia is a very experienced team. At the same time, Australia is more powerful in its own field. The bowlers also bowled well in the first innings. Because of these reasons, it seems that Australia will win the test match.

When Australia was scoring without any problem, I thought Pakistan was also going to do the same end the match will go towards a draw. But Pakistan was not able to do much, now Australia is batting. And surprisingly it seems like the track has took a 180 turn. Because Australia has already lost two wickets and they have only scored 10 runs. Suddenly it looks like it is bowling-friendly. If Pakistan can actually get them all out around 100, which is definitely a big ask not going to lie, Pakistan might have a chance. Otherwise if Australia is able to score even 200, Pakistan will be struggling.

This is your fault you thought about Pakistan they will also do runs easily because if you are watching Pakistan for years then you need to understand they have never been done this all easily even they are playing against minor teams because their nature is never been easy to predict they can create any mess-up in any event without any big trouble, so I was expecting this from them with now most chances they will face defeat with big target as in last inning again they will not able to bat like Australian doing.
Sadly Pakistan has never been ideal team in this format just because of their domestic system which is never been good which helps youths to have technique and good command in batting they mostly have players in test with the performance on twenty or ODI which is also big failure and their pitches are also never been good for quality cricket.

They would need 70 more odd runs to avoid follow on and the last known batter they have is Saud Shakeel. If he gets out then Pakistan would be in big trouble. I wasn't expecting Babar Azam to bat so poorly, he only got 21 runs today.

Pakistan came at the last minute and got all out under the pressure of the wicket.

Nathan Layon took 3 wickets alone, Pakistan managed to score only 271 runs in the last minute under the pressure of Australia bowling. In the first innings, Pakistan team is behind a lot and going into the next match, Pakistan team will surely face a lot of pressure.

The reason Pakistan got all out was because they didn't bat very well early on, and their rapid fall of wickets reduced the run rate. And when the Australia team batted on the first day, they batted brilliantly from the start and scored a huge score due to which Pakistan could not complete the Australia target. Coming to the third day, the Australian team came out to bat and looking at the bowling performance of the Pakistan team today, it seems that they can easily put Australia under pressure today. Meanwhile, the Australian team lost two wickets, while on the first day, the Australian team scored huge runs due to David Warner's outstanding batting performance. But today, since David Warner is out in the beginning, today's message may not be able to collect many runs. However, the Pakistan team went out to bat on their second day and lost them all by many runs. Australia still lead by 246 runs, if Australia team bats in the first innings and collects another 200 runs then surely can make a huge score of 450+ on the second day.

There were only two batters from the Australian team that batted well in the first innings. Warner and Marsh all others were struggling ang got out cheaply. In Pakistan case except Imam-ul-Haq and Shafique all others were out cheaply. Imam-ul-Haq wasted too many balls to get his 62, he should have been agressive after after facing so many balks. Basically, Australia got a very good start whereas Pakistan did not and hence pressure rolled down on other batters

Although David Warner played a great innings of 164 in the first innings, Warner could not collect any runs in the second innings. At the same time Labuschagne returned to the dressing room with only 2 runs. Australia lost their two wickets for 5 runs. At the end of 20 overs, Australia collected 44 runs with the loss of two wickets. Kurram Shahzad took both the wickets.

Now the Australian team is leading by 260 runs. If more than 400 targets are provided, Australia can stay in the safe zone. But if Australia fails to score even 200 runs in the second innings then Pakistan will have a slim chance of victory.

The Pakistan team has been all out in the test match against the Australian cricket team. The all batsmen of Pakistan didn't play well. Imam Ul Haq is a very slow player, he takes too many balls to make just some runs, can you imagine he made 68 runs in 199 balls, how many balls he played and he make just some runs, this is a mistake by the PCB chairman that they selected him. I think Ireland's team test batting is much better than Imam Ul Haq's. He is not an active player in making runs.

Also Abdullah Shafique didn't play well in this match against Australia. He made just 42 runs, which is good runs but as he used to play balls, he should made at least 60 or 70 runs but unfortunately, he lost his wicket, He missed his half-century by 8 runs.

Still I would say that Abdullah Shafique played much better than Imam Ul Haq because Imam used almost 200 balls so they could complete his century but he lost his wicket in 68 runs, this is not a good performance by him, now, we understand he is not a player of any format because you have also seen his performance in ODI, and he is not a player who deserves to play T20 and we have seen his performance in the test.

Two early wickets gone for Australia, Warner could not even score a run. He was out for a duck in the second innings, while he got 164 in his first innings. Both wickets taken by Shahzad, good to see him getting enough movement of the ball and bowling a perfect line & length. The pitch is becoming difficult to bat, only 5 runs have been scored so far. Another wicket at this stage and Australia would be in trouble.

Undoubtedly, Australia would win the first test match as Pakistan has lost 9 wickets and 1 more wicket to go. They won't be able to avoid follow on looking at the current score of 260 runs, they are short of 28 runs. Why didn't the batter take an aggressive approach? Imam-ul-Haq played 199 balls and scored only 62 runs, it is too much of a defensive approach for an opener. Pakistan's batting is looking far worse than the bowling in the first test match. New captain, new coach, new team, and the result is depressing.

Everything is new for Pakistan except there performance which is still the same. Pakistan team is all out for just 271 runs and they are well short of 216 runs. There is not even a single player who adopted aggressive approach rather everyone was on back foot. Imam who is a product of nepotism in Pakistan cricket scored 62 runs on 199 balls. Its up to Australia whether they take follow on or not. In both situation its obvious that Pakistan will lose.

I would say it is not possible to win the match after trailing by 216 runs. And Pakistan's defeat is more likely at the moment. Unless a miracle happens, Pakistan will lose this match. The three batsmen in the top order batted somewhat well. We have not seen good performances from talented batsmen like Khurram Shahjad, Babar Azam and Sarfaraz. If these three batsmen could have batted well, maybe Pakistan could have collected 350+ runs easily.

Nathan Lyon bowled very well. He took three wickets in 23 overs. Staarc and Pat Cummins also managed to pick up two wickets each. It is highly likely that the Australian team will set a target of more than 450. After batting well in the first innings, the Australian batsmen will be more confident in the second innings.

There is high probability of Australia winning this game. Pakistan still 231 runs behind Australia first innings total of 487 and they don't have much batting to left. Decades passed but Pakistan performance in Australia is not improving. Australia dominating in all three departments of the game while Pakistan lagging in all three. These days its equally important to field well in test, Pakistan dropped catches and missed stumping chances. Result is Australia making 487.

Pakistan were bowled out for 271 runs and Australia lead Pakistan by 216 runs so far in the first innings. The three-day game is now underway so it is certain that Pakistan is going to lose the first Test match. Pakistan will lose the first test match against Australia I don't think we can wait till five days to see the result. On the fourth day this might be the deciding result as Australia win against Pakistan. Australia is leading by 216 runs so now it depends on them whether they will bat again or field again. Australia must invite Pakistan to bat again if they want to take a chance to beat them by an innings. Australia may follow that path and they will again invite Pakistan to bat.

Pakistan's top order managed to bat somewhat well in the first innings. But it wasn't enough. Because Australia was able to make a huge collection of 487 in the first innings. Pakistan team will probably collect around 300-320. They have no chance of winning this match if they are behind by 150 in the first innings. Pakistan should now aim to draw the match by any means necessary. Pakistan is unlikely to win on this batting friendly pitch. Either Pakistan will lose or the match will be a draw.

There is high probability of Australia winning this game. Pakistan still 231 runs behind Australia first innings total of 487 and they don't have much batting to left. Decades passed but Pakistan performance in Australia is not improving. Australia dominating in all three departments of the game while Pakistan lagging in all three. These days its equally important to field well in test, Pakistan dropped catches and missed stumping chances. Result is Australia making 487.

Today is the third day of gameplay. I say if Pakistan can stay at the crease in the second session then the match is likely to be a draw. Pakistan collected 261 runs losing 9 wickets. The team is still behind by 226 runs. If Pakistan can't stay at the crease in the second session, then their chances of defeat are high. Because, the Australia team will declare the innings by collecting like 420-450. And most likely they will not bat more than 40/50 overs. Even then, surviving the 5-session crease will be an almost impossible task for the Pakistani batsmen.

Undoubtedly, Australia would win the first test match as Pakistan has lost 9 wickets and 1 more wicket to go. They won't be able to avoid follow on looking at the current score of 260 runs, they are short of 28 runs. Why didn't the batter take an aggressive approach? Imam-ul-Haq played 199 balls and scored only 62 runs, it is too much of a defensive approach for an opener. Pakistan's batting is looking far worse than the bowling in the first test match. New captain, new coach, new team, and the result is depressing.

Trails by another 257 runs, with just 3 wickets remaining now. Saud Shakeel was nabbed by Josh Hazlewood just now, and it was quickly followed by a failed appeal against Agha Salman. Actually it doesn't matter whether they will avoid follow on or not, beacuse Australia is unlikely to enforce it. But Pakistan is well behind in this match and in all probability they are going to lose it by a big margin. When Australia comes out to bat, they are likely to go Bazball mode and will declare the innings after getting to a lead of 450-500.

This was deemed to happen. After a poor ODI world cup, every eye was on Babar and newly included Sarfraz Ahmed. They both fail to deliver anything in batting today. With 7 wickets down Pakistan can only hope to reach somewhere around 280 or 290. They conceded 487 run with bowl and now struggling to avoid follow on. There is only one half century in this game from Pakistan side so far from opener Imam.
