Shaheen Shah did take two early wickets but it was very early in the match. Now the things have settled and also the pitch look good for batting. Its too early to say who will win the match or whether this will be another draw.

After two dead and bore test matches now look like this third test match is also heading for this same result but still tomorrow first session is very important for both teams if Pakistan takes early wickets and bowled them before 325 then surely they can do some better just need some good score on board for some good interest in this match and if Australians have some good inning from remaining players then most chances we will have 0 - 0 for this series which could be the worst result of this year 2022 in most wanted test series after few decades.

Usman Khawaja have very good time after very good inning in The Ashes now 2 centuries and now 91 runs third inning giving him some good chance for Australian squad which is going to tour India in coming months.
Pakistan's replacement Naseem Shah for Faheem was having some positive impact that they are going to for good supportive pitch but nothing special happened.

Actually, the Pakistan cricket board got scared because they had some injuries in their lineup. And I think they did not want to risk it.

So, they did not do anything stupid and bladed safe but that's the mistake they did in my opinion. I think at least they should have tried to look up and fight against Australia and give their bowlers a chance of showing what they are capable of. I think we are going to see something like that in the third test though.

Surely this is main reason and already described by PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja after having some good criticism from around the cricket world about their these tactics against Australia which came after 24 years and secondly this was done for marketing purpose because we already watch some quick ends in India which give big loses to television channels and also BCCI even they can afford these all but PCB is having completely different situation, and they don't want to give any weak point but surely now they will prepare very good at coming series against England and New Zealand which are also coming in next few months for their respective tours for playing Test Matches, ODI and T20 after T20 World Cup in Australia in October.

In Pakistan case, it's same happening with Pakistan is already in some good position for qualifying into WTC final and staying at second spot behind Australia they need some more points for this spot which is only possible with these flat pitches with Australia is currently world's most attractive and best team in presence of quality batsmen and bowlers and Pakistani youths have no good experience to face them, so they are doing these dirty tactics for WTC points and staying alive against quality teams.

The second test between West Indies and England has ended as a draw too. It was meant to be happen. But I think, the third test match between Pakistan and Australia isn't going to end as a draw. Maybe there will be a winner of the last test match of this series, and it will determine the series winner. How long Pakistan will be able to stay at second position for making those flat pitch! They should have made an average pitch which would help both bowlers and batsmen. Pakistani players are having some good batting practice for those kind of pitch. They won't be able to play well in different pitch condition.

Test cricket is already at its all-time low in my opinion and if the culture of draws keeps going on I think it is only a matter of time before the test cricket loses everything that it had.
Anyway, I think the third test between Pakistan and Australia is shaping up quite nicely to have a result. It will be really nice to see Pakistan win this test match.

End of the day Australia had a slow scoring and Pakistan is good at its bowling taking five wickets. By the second day of the match Australia will continue and it'll reach atleast 325 runs. As the first two matches got drawn, this match is expected much. For now this match is not into anyone, this also gonna get drawn. If there were early wickets on tomorrow's morning session the match could change.

I am actually sad that Usman Khwaja could not reach his three figure mark. But, I actually think Australia played really well and handled the Pakistani bowlers well enough.

Now it is kind of absolute on day two it will be really hard for the Australian batsmen to survive the first session against the bowling lineup of the Pakistan team. At least this isn't going to be like the previous two test matches in my opinion.

Test cricket already does not have too many spectators or fans. and if this continues the fans for spectator Count is obviously going to decline further, this is obviously not good for test cricket. I really thought Pakistan had the ability to give Australia a good fight on a good bowling pitch but I think they just did not want to take that chance.

The defensive stance taken by the PCB (with regards to the pitch preparation) is above all an insult to the Pakistani bowlers. By preparing such sub-standard pitches, the PCB is indirectly hinting that their bowlers don't have the ability to take wickets in good tracks, and they are inferior to their Australian counterparts. This actually surprises me because for long Pakistan was considered as the pace powerhouse of South Asia. A lot many legendary pacers, including Shoaib Akhtar, Wasim Akram, Imran Khan, Aaquib Javed and Waqar Younis represented Pakistan in the past.

Overall I would say that it was a Pakistani team day. They not only took five wickets on a batting track but also bowled well. Australian team only managed to make 232 runs in 88 overs at a slow run rate. I am not saying that Pakistan will win the match from here but if we only look at the test match day by day, the first day truly belong to the Paksitani team.

Good day for Pakistan team. The early two wickets taken by Shaheen Shah was a wonderful break through. He looked so happy. But I feel the series will end in drawn series. But we watched some good cricket from both the teams. Looking fwd to the second day. Hope Pindiwals are not much upset for not having match in Rawalpindi

LAhori seems so excited for hosting the series!

Edit: Smith is gone. Will this be a turning point in the match?

Five wickets gone. Pakistan have got important wikcets of khawaja and smith. Still I would say Australia are in good position as they have scored 211 runs and if they can make 300 ( which surely they will) then Aussies bowlers have a great chance to take lead in first innings.
In this series many players are victim of nervous 90s. Khawaja is the latest one.

As the series decider test match against Pakistan approaches, Australia has won the toss and chosen to bat first. How do you think the series will turn out?

Pakistan replaces Faheem Ashraf with Naseem Shah; but Australia remain unchanged. The match will demonstrate that Pakistan can beat Australia. For the first day of a test match, the pitch should provide more for bowlers. Here we go. Australians are 8/2, and Sahin Afridi has the early break.

Seems like Australia have recovered after two early wickets. Usman khawaja is in no mood of showing mercy to his country of birth as he is not out on 47 along with Smith on 41. I haven't seen the pitch so far just checked the score online, I am hopeful this match will be a decider. Let's wait for score till stumps.

An exciting beginning from Shaheen Shah, this is called class. After the loss of early wickets, the partnership between Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith discharge the headache of batting unit. Both are talented players, they take the responsibility and their third wickets stand has reinforced Australia. Khawaja well played in the subcontinent however it's unfortunate it's just 9 run short before celebrating century he got out.

Lahoris so excited on the return of Test match to the Qadafi stadium. Shaheen Shah gave a good break through by sending two batsmen back to the dressing room Labuschagne was surprised too on what has happened to him. But I believe the series will end in draw. Let's see!

Most of the people bet on either side win.The Australian fans bet on Australia and Pakistan fans bet on pakistan. But their is only one winner for the game.No one will bed on draw case.It's cloud nine moment of the cricket match. In additional, it's a common one in the test match.Eventhough people will not bed on a draw match.In this match, most of the people who do bet may had huge chance of loss of money.

Latest update: The test cricket returned to Qadafi Stadium after 13 year.Aussie are going to bat first. The pitch seem to have a bit of moisture, Pakistan must gain some wickets with new ball to break the partnership of Aussie strong batting line. If Aussie makes huge score like before it will be difficult for Pakistani to win the series. Do you think bring Faheem Ashraf instead of Naseem shah is a good decision?

This is very good calculation.

Australia : They seems favoraite to play in the WTC finals but they have atleast 7 tough games against India and South Africa (Proteas always play excellent cricket in Australia). OZ need to tread carefully with these 2 series and then may be try not to be complacent against SL on spin track.

South Africa: Protea has a potiential, atm they are playing against Bangladesh with their 2nd string team due to IPL. Hope this doesn't comes back to haunt them.

Pakistan : Strong candidate, if they manage to produce result oriented pitches. If every home game is ending with draw then they have no chance.

India : Tricky and tight situation because of Australia but they are still hanging there. Aussie are always tough opponent, ideal situation would be 3-1 or 3-0 to India. Different outcome could potentially dent India's dream. Hope Bangladesh series goes well for India, lot will depend on rain. Also 1 tough away game in England, poms seems to getting their act together.

SL and NZ are more or less on the same boat.

Most chances we will have no positive results from these both series because currently West Indies is in not good shape, and they are bringing flat pitches for having some better results for their team instead of supportive their quality is not good enough for facing England.

The match ended in a draw but what is striking is that apart from Kraigg Brathwaite no one the players were able to play for a longer period of time which means if England would have give a target of 240 runs to chase or 10 more overs left then there was a chance for them to pick the rest of the wickets and may be probably win the match.

Remainder of the series will be exactly the same. Pakistan knows that they don't have the capability to defeat Australia. So they played defensively and asked the curator to prepare a dead track, which offer no support for the bowlers. Same was the case with the West Indians. They also aimed for a draw, and they got that in the end. The only ones who are losing out here are the spectators. They are spending so much money and time to watch these matches and what are they getting in return? A few matches that end with no result?

Either way it is good to see teams touring Pakistan after a long gap and now only India is the only country that is not interested to tour Pakistan and that too due to political reason. The fans would love to see the match either way and i did not see any highlights either but how are the crowds in Pakistan, are the stadiums getting full.

Today as we started fifth and final day of this second test match between West Indies vs England after having some good and quick batting from English batsmen there were good criticism about these tactics that they can lose this match but now after just 25 overs it seems very good decision because Leach and Mahmood done good job and remover three batsmen very quickly now West Indies is in defense with two first inning centurions at crease and trying their best for survive of remaining match with now 40 overs left in this match if England takes one or two more wickets than surely we can feel some more thrill in this match otherwise it's all going to be drawn again on flat pitch and bad tactics from West Indians they need to be more supportive for better results in future.
