Also, the decision-making might come into play for this draw because If Australia send Pakistan to bat again it could have won the match.
The way Pakistan batted in the second inning, if Australia did not bat in the second innings as long as they did and scored a lead of 506 runs then Pakistan would have gone for the win as they reached close with 63 runs to win the entire match and if there was enough time left then it would have been a thrilling match as the tail end was exposed.

Funny thing is that Pakistan scored 443 runs in the second innings but only 3 players crossed double figures and went on to score big runs, the rest scored single digit runs Cheesy.

Ladies and gents!
We have another great escape and another 4th inning (5th day) failure of Aussie bowlers. Every time they were supposed to win or were in winning position but now it looks like more of a curse which started in Headingley, even new beautiful skipper patty couldn't do anything.
Well done Abdullah-Baba-Rizwan..

With this draw, point table is looking more competitive. Pakistan and Australia are eating each other points, other teams won't mind it. Having said that Draw (4 points) is better than losing a test (zero points).


The table is looking more competitive but Australia is still ahead of each and every team. I actually did not expect Pakistan to do this well, they exceeded expectations of a lot of people.
I have to say somewhere along the line Australian bowlers I will feel that they should have won the match, they had the platform set for them and they just could not deliver.

Also, the decision-making might come into play for this draw because If Australia send Pakistan to bat again it could have won the match.

Unbelievable comeback. Never expected Pakistan to escape from a loss in this second test. Azam, Rizwan etc were brilliant while Lyon was the only Aus bowler piling pressure on them based on what I observed.
Australia has batted for the first two day without losing all of their wickets. I was expecting to see a draw after the day 2. But Pakistan players has failed in the first innings. Australia had the opportunity to enforce Pakistan in follow-on and asked them to bat again for the second innings. I'm wondering why Australia choose to bat again for their second innings, they had a big lead. They result of the match could have been different if they used the follow-on rules.

The third wicket and the fifth wicket partnership just saved Pakistan from a devastating loss against Australia. I really thought that there is no way Pakistan is going to even draw this match, let alone win the match, but they did really well.

And I also agree that the results of the match could have been very different if Australia forced Pakistan is to follow on.

Abdullah Shafiq missed out on a century and Babar Azam missed out on a double century, that would have been great to see. Mohammad Rizwan also played really well for his century.

This is indeed a win for Pakistan. Surviving 5 sessions against the Australians is indeed a big time. Pakistan team has really shown immense professionalism in the match. The whole nation is celebrating the win as if we have won the match.

Baber Azam almost 200 runs (196 exactly) along with others batsmen shows the talent we have in the team. For Australians they miss the trick by not enforcing the follow on, maybe they wanted to give some rest to the bowlers at that point of time.

This is indeed a good come back from your team after they were all out for 148 runs in first innings. After the end of Australia first innings everyone was criticising the pitch but Pakistan first innings closed that topics. The match was exciting till the last three balls. It was Aussies who gave up when only two balls were left and they needed three wickets.

Pakistan were lucky on a couple of occasions. For example, Smith could have removed Shafique early, but messed up big-time. Looks like the third and final test is the decider.
Very right what an exciting play we just watched - Pakistan had no chance till yesterday – But what a great technique and discipline– even drawing is winning. Today’s hero is Babar Azam and Muhmmad Rizwan. Aussie were amazed too  what is happening on dead pitch!

It's an unbelievable, what a thrilling draw in Karachi! A definite match savior innings played by them. The captain driving from the front. Today Babar Azam and Muhmmad Rizwan, yesterday courageous batting show by Shafique guarantee Pakistan keep away from a definite loss. The result we won't ever anticipate. Equally supportive and impressive innings by Shafique and Rizwan. This draw take Pakistan to 4th place in WTC table.
What a fantastic win for Pakistan – Congrats  to Pakistani Cricket team and all the Pakistani cricket fans!
It was a thrilling draw – fantastic performance from Babaer Azam and Muhammad Rizwan. Incredible performance by Pakistan team, there was no chance till yesterday but what a day it was for PK team

Let's not forget that it was the Pakistan team who were all out at 148 runs on a wicket which was declared as dead by the analysts. So it was not that difficult to stay on wickets on such a wicket.

Secondly, in the two test matches, Australians were confident in all 4 innings while Pakistan was comfortable in only three of the four innings.

Babar-Abdullah Shafique duo pulling their version of Dravid-Laxman here against same opponent Australia. If they successfully chase down this mammoth total or pull out draw from this situation then this would dent Australia's reputation and ego and increase Pakistan's stature more in the Test cricket. We shouldn't forget that in recent time Australian team failed to close the game when opponent bats in 4th inning.

3 recent iconic test match, where Aussie failed royally
- Headingley test against England, English were 9 down (Ben stokes).
- SCG test against India, 2 injured batter Vihari-Ashwin pulled off great escape
- Gaba test against India, well everyone knows what happened there.

- Karachi - Huh Result in progress

Is Pakistan batting for victory now? Yesterday their run rate was below 2.3. But now they are playing somewhat aggressively. They have scored 37 runs in the last 10 overs. Their run rate in the last 10 overs is 3.7. They need 160 runs in 28 overs. Pakistan has a chance to win. Because Babar Azam and Rizwan are now in the crease. Both are very talented players.

Pakistan definitely not playing to win but to draw the game. The game has suddenly changed as Pakistan lost few quick wikcets and they now have to survive 24 more balls to draw the game. Australia need 3 more wickets, Pakistan hopes are now with Rizwan who is not out on 91 runs. Matche in very exciting at the moment.
Muhammad Rizwan is an absolute  beauty - he has always saved Pakistan from difficult situation. There is something amazing about his personality, very composed and focused -  I love watching him when he is batting and when he is fielding behind the wickets. What a wonderful day for Pakistan.

What a professional batting by Pakistani Batsmen.  Pakistan lost all their wickets for just 146 runs in the first innings. Australia then set a huge target of 506. And they may have thought they could easily defeat Pakistan. But now the match is completely controlled by Pakshithan. They only need 196 to win. Run. Babar Azam is still unbeaten on 168 runs.

Abdullah Shafique was out for 96 runs. I'm feeling sad for him, Because he could not do Hundred. He has given exceptional performances when the team needs him. He played 305 balls. If he had not formed the partnership with Babar Azam, Pakistan would have lost the match by now.
Pakistan need only 175 runs to win. They lost four wickets. Although the match is completely under Pakistan's control. However, they do not seem to be able to win the match. Because now the game of the third session is going on. So the match is most likely to be a draw. Pakistan needs 175 runs in 33 overs. Now Pakistan's run rate is 2.38. If you want to win the match, Pakistan has to collect more than 5 runs in each over.

Not an easy target that's why it would be epic if they manage to cross the line.

Usually draw are considered bad if you're playing at home but Pakistan is in very tricky situation so even draw might look like a win here. This duo is important but they have to start their inning again on 5th day, let's see which pak team show up at the work today.

Australians have finally got the man i.e. Abdullah Shafique just before the lunch, he scored 96 runs on 305 balls. At lunch Pakistan need 252 runs in 62 overs, 4 runs per over. The way they are going I am sure Pakistan like to draw the game since they wont take risk of playing fast and losing wickets. The match has gone really interesting now.
Despite his efforts, Abdullah Shafique falls short of a century! The innings was full of temperament and determination. The deserving and long-awaited century inning has ended. Today is Day 5, there is nothing on the pitch for bowlers. There's a great contest going on, in which Cummins and Babar are giving it their all. Is Pakistan letting Australia win at this point by taking unnecessary risks? Absolutely not, Pakistan is headed to draw this match.
