Fair play to Pakistan...they've shown some fight which I didn't expect. To take it to day 5 after their first innings is a good effort. They'll probably be disappointed giving wickets to Lyon.

Amir's batting pretty well

[brokenbat]

That's already a massive 4th innings score...setting up for a much closer series than originally envisioned. 108 needed with 2 wickets left - Hoping for a tight finish tomorrow!

If Pakistan can score 25-30 tomorrow without loss the Ozzie's will be twitching!!

Also am absolutely loving BT's coverage! So, so much better than Sky's coupled with the fact you go back to any period during the day while watching on the app is great! Highlights always available on the app too!

If Pakistan keep swinging the bat you never know

Great effort so far just to get this close.

I dont really get why enforcing follow on has gone out of cricket whichever nation is playing. Seems to be un fashionable to some reason

Just watched the highlights.


Smith is a cracking fielder in the outfield. He takes some amazing catches. But in the slips, even when he takes them, he just seems to be in strange very ugly looking positions.
 Which lead to 2 drops today.


Pakistan fighting hard.

Amir and starc. They say it was about his knee recovery, but I'm pretty sure amir asked if it was a no ball and starc bought up the past!!

Hopefully, this doesn't jinx it for Asad Shafiq but his innings was a joy to watch, a great knock! I don't predict a happy ending for Pakistan in this match. Starc et-al will pound that pitch hard and use every verbal intimidation tactic to get the last two wickets.

Starc said " What was that mate? Did you have something to say? "

Really?! That was border line civil, I was expecting worse. Phew!

[Big Mac]

Bloody hell, what if it actually happens?

[InternalTraining]

^ If that happens, and Almighty is listening/reading this, please let me win a lottery so I can retire early and play cricket all day.

[Number4]

It's looking more likely

[Big Mac]

Apparently this is the first time in test history that 50 runs have been put on by the 7th, 8th and 9th wicket in a chase.

[InternalTraining]

Two good balls and it is over. How long can these batsmen hold out against Starc and co.

[brokenbat]

No matter who wins, nobody will ever declare after this is over :p
