AUS vs PAK: Pakistan reeling at 39/3 in 2nd innings after being asked to follow-on on Day 3
Babar Azam, who is considered the best batsman of Pakistan at the moment, failed to lift his team's performance and went back for a paltry score of 8.
Babar Azam, who is considered the best batsman of Pakistan at the moment, failed to lift his team's performance and went back for a paltry score of 8.
Joining Babar Azam, Yasir Shah shared a partnership of 105 runs keeping Pakistan's slim hopes alive to avoid the follow-on.
With this innings, David Warner also became the seventh cricketer from his country to reach the triple-figure mark in red-ball cricket.
David Warner played an unbeaten knock of 335 off 418 balls, which is the second-highest score in a Test innings by an Australian batsman.
While David Warner looked well and truly capable of scoring 400, his journey was cut short when Australian skipper Tim Paine decided to declare the innings.
Naseem Shah, who made his debut for Pakistan debut against Australia in the first-match of the two-Test series, is facing a lot of backlash for his age.
In the last few years, Amir emerged as Pakistan's leading bowler in across formats and was expected to hold the baton in the Test Championships as well.
Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Wade shared in a 110-run partnership before Wade was well caught by Rizwan for 60 off Haris Sohail.
Pakistan were rescued from disaster by Asad Shafiq, who played a lone hand, scoring 76 well-made runs.
Naseem Shah has become the ninth youngest debutant in Test cricket. Pakistan's Hasan Raza, who made his debut in 1996 aged 14 years and 227 days, is the youngest.
